Juan Raset (1938-2019) - Nu au violon

The Spanish artist Joan Raset (1938-2019) was born in Barcelona (Spain). He was trained and worked in technical architecture, but in the 1970s he was drawn to abstract painting, pastel portraits, and figurative works to which he attributed his later artistic evolution. Sight size: 48 x 63.

His pastel works and drawings, heavily influenced by Egon Schiele, are distinctive and led to several contracts with publishers. El “Desnudo femenino al Pastel" (The Female Nude in Pastel) was one of his most popular books, widely used in art schools worldwide. In the 1990s, he began to exhibit from Japan to the United States and Europe with remarkable success. In a personal figurative style between Post-Impressionism and Expressionism, he produced pastels, drawings, and oils on canvas with the female figure as his principal subject.
