      Est: €3,500 - €4,000

      CARLES FONTSERÉ (Barcelona, 1916 - 2007). Republican poster sketch. 1938 Oil on paper. Signed and dated in the lower corner. The paper has very slight tears on the edges that do not affect the drawing. Measurements: 30 x 27 cm. Fontseré was only 20 years old when the war broke out, his youth was not an obstacle for his works to stand out for their strength and expressiveness. He was one of the promoters of the Union of Professional Draughtsmen of Barcelona. Enlisted in the BB.II. he fought in the Ebro. His republican posters are an unavoidable contribution to avant-garde poster art, which draws from constructivist and suprematist sources. Fontseré was a multidisciplinary artist, he began his professional career as a draftsman at the age of fifteen, and by the age of twenty he was already a renowned poster artist. He became one of the greatest visual references of anarchism. After the Spanish Civil War he went into exile in Paris, the city that gave him his cultural varnish, and where he developed other disciplines in an outstanding way, such as engraving or theatrical scenography. This last task led him to work in cities such as Mexico City, London, Rome or New York, and it was from these trips when he began the photographic impulse, which he never stopped, portraying, through the camera, the face of a changing world that in the 60s was in full effervescence, and immortalized the routine and character of these metropolises from the most extraordinary corners of its human geography. Carles Fontseré published his memoirs in 1995 in Spain. The paper has very slight tears at the edges that do not affect the drawing.
