Description from the seller
An engraving by Ripollés, painted and signed by hand, made in his Más de Flors workshop on Arches paper, is in perfect condition.
Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés— was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother during childbirth led him to Castellón La Plana. His early years were not easy: he collected horse dung, worked as a scrap dealer, and painted with a fat brush, until he moved to Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And there is where he achieved it.
Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall.
Since his return to Spain in the sixties, his studio has been nature.
Today, at 92, it still is: he paints in the orchard of his manor in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón.
During the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums of Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo, or Beijing.
His large-format sculptures have been installed in parks and on the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch, or Beijing.
