BIOGRAPHY OF JOAN JOSEP THARRATS (Girona, 1918 - Barcelona, 2001)
Spanish painter and printmaker. He was born in Girona and pursued his early artistic studies in Barcelona, the city where the Civil War caught him by surprise. A founding member in 1948 of the group Dau al Set, together with Joan Ponç, Antoni Tàpies, Modest Cuixart, Joan Brossa and Arnau Puig, he was responsible for editing and directing the magazine of the same name until 1956. Before joining this group, Tharrats' painting traversed post-impressionist and abstract styles, with clear influences of Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh in the first case and Kandinsky, Klee and Mondrian in the second. After joining Dau al Set he delved into the world of Surrealism and magical abstraction, until he abandoned it in favor of the informalism of large stains, strong chromaticism and abundant matter that characterizes his classic Maculaturas from 1954. In those years, and after the dissolution of Dau al Set, Tharrats also participated in the founding of the Tahüll group (1955) together with Jordi Muxart, Modest Cuixart, Antoni Tàpies and Josep Guinovart, young Catalan painters who moved between abstraction and neo-figurative. Also interested in graphic design, illustration, the applied arts and the world of publishing, Tharrats participated in innumerable exhibitions both individual (since 1950) and collective (since 1948) in the world's major cities, and his work is exhibited in painting galleries such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid or the Tate Gallery in London, among others. He died on July 5, 2001 in Barcelona.
