ANTONI COSTA TORRAS (Barcelona, 1904 - 1965). "Landscape with figures". Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper right-hand corner and on the back. Measurements: 67 x 98 cm; 72 x 102 cm (frame). Antoni Costa trained in Buenos Aires, at the Círculo de Sant Lluc in Barcelona and at the FAD. A friend and colleague of Sandalinas and Gasch, he exhibited in Barcelona from 1928 and, after the post-war period, also in Mallorca. In 1955 he was awarded a prize in the Mediterranean Games competition. Considered to be one of the best representatives of social realism in Catalonia, he focused his work on the themes of labour, the wretched, prostitutes, immigrants, etc., with a language that reacted against avant-garde academicism and the concept of art for art's sake. There are three stages in his production. The first, which lasted until 1938, is related to Cubism, and especially to the figures of La Fresnaye and Léger. Between 1939 and 1958 he came closer to Marie Blanchard, and finally evolved into a third stage, motivated by his failure in the eyes of the official critics and the new avant-garde, in which he shunned any public manifestation, focusing on works of more conventional technique and cruder subject matter, partially included in the exhibition devoted to him in Barcelona in 1966.

Est: €600 - €800
ANTONI COSTA TORRAS (Barcelona, 1904 - 1965). "Portrait of young women". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Size: 79 x 68 cm; 97 x 77 cm (frame). Scene of realistic aesthetics where the author presents the portrait of two girls inscribed in an urban nucleus. The young girls in the foreground stand out for their large size compared to the buildings in the background, which in turn cover a large space, in such a way that there seems to be no depth between both elements of the composition. Antoni Costa trained in Buenos Aires, at the Círculo de Sant Lluc in Barcelona and at the FAD. A friend and companion of Sandalinas and Gasch, he exhibited in Barcelona from 1928 and, after the post-war period, also in Mallorca. In 1955 he was awarded a prize in the Mediterranean Games competition.

ANTONI COSTA TORRAS (Barcelona, 1904 - 1965). "Group of gentlemen reading." Oil on canvas. It requires refunds and breakage in the lower central area. Signed in the lower right corner.
Est: €1,000 - €1,200
ANTONI COSTA TORRAS (Barcelona, 1904 - 1965). "Group of gentlemen reading". Oil on canvas. Precise restitutions and tear in the lower central area. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 99 x 99 cm; 103 x 103 cm (frame). In a circular and concave composition, which allows the spectator to enter into the scene, the author gathers a group of men who swirl around a central character. The man stands out for his advanced age in relation to the rest, the undisputed protagonist, holding a piece of paper in his hands on which we can read "last minute". This feature suggests that the older figure is conveying news that directly affects all those gathered in the scene. The figures stand out for their large dimensions and a style inherited to a certain extent from Cubism. Antoni Costa trained in Buenos Aires, at the Círculo de Sant Lluc in Barcelona and at the FAD.
