ISIDRE NONELL I MONTURIOL (Barcelona, 1873 - 1911). "Seated gypsy woman". Red chalk on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 51 x 32 cm; 72,5 x 54,5 cm (frame). Nonell never tired of delving into the feminine temperament in his portraits of gypsy women. What he captured time and again in paintings and drawings was, above all, the mystery that young and old gypsy women entail for all of us who contemplate them from the outside. In this sanguine, resolved with a quick and broken stroke that zigzags to enter into the folds of clothing and flesh, the old woman is imposing and robust, haughty and closed in her inner self despite her humility. Her back is turned to us, but her bony profile and the way she sits reveals aspects of her character. Nonell's gypsy women ooze melancholy and nobility, as well as a strong temperament that is not at odds with their poverty. A painter and draftsman, Nonell trained with Josep Mirabent, Luis Graner and at the Martínez Altés Academy. In 1892 he presented his work at the Sala Parés, and the following year, as part of the Academia Libre group, he took part in a group exhibition headed by Rusiñol. In 1894 he participated in the Second Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and published drawings in "La Vanguardia". During these years he was a student at the La Lonja School in Barcelona, and between 1895 and 1896 he coincided with Joaquín Mir, Gosé, Sunyer and Torres-García. In 1895 he took part for the first time in the National Exhibition of Madrid, an exhibition in which he participated several times until 1910. In 1896 he exhibited with the Colla del Safrà at the Third Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was awarded an honorary mention. In the summer of the same year he moved to Boí (Lleida) together with Ricard Canals and Julio Vallmitjana, where he made numerous drawings on cretinism, then endemic in the area due to inbreeding practices. In autumn, Nonell exhibited these works in the salon of "La Vanguardia", and at the beginning of the following year he published his drawings in "Barcelona Cómica". Shortly after, he showed an oil painting also by Boí at the XIV Exhibition of the Sala Parés. That same year he went to Paris, again with Canals. In April 1897 he took part in the Salon du Champ de Mars in the French capital, and towards the end of the year he took part in the XV Exhibition of Impressionist and Symbolist Painters, also in Paris. At the beginning of 1898 he organized a joint exhibition with Canals at Le Barc de Boutteville. He returns months later and shows his sketches of Paris at Els Quatre Gats, but soon returns to the French capital. There, "La Vie Moderne" had published several of his works, and he exhibits individually in the outstanding gallery of Ambroise Vollard (1899). He returned to Barcelona, exhibiting regularly between 1902 and 1903 at the Sala Parés and the Ateneo in Barcelona, while sending works to the Parisian salons. He also published drawings in "Papitu", "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", "La Campana de Gràcia", "Quatre Gats", etc. Nonell is currently represented in the Reina Sofia Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, the MAPFRE Foundation and the Museum of Empordà, among others.

Oil on canvas, total measurements with frame: 65 x 70 cm. Isidre Nonell Monturiol (Barcelona, November 30, 1872-Barcelona, February 21, 1911) Spanish painter and draftsman, belonging to modernism. Born in Barcelona on November 30, 1872, he belonged to a relatively wealthy family. He trained in various academies, including that of Luis Graner, 1889. He was part of the group Els Quatre Gats, with Picasso, Rusiñol and others. He lived outside bourgeois society, which he criticized in his paintings. Around 1891 he formed a small group of landscapers, cultivating this genre in small format. In 1893 he studied at the Escuela de la Lonja in Barcelona and held his first exhibition. In 1894 he began to draw small paintings of Cretinos, especially when he went, two years later, with Ricard Canals to Caldas de Bohí. He dedicated this time in Caldas to painting landscapes and cretins. In February 1897 he went to Paris with Canals. There he exhibited, shared a studio with Picasso and made his paintings about the lower social classes. He returned to Barcelona in 1900. From 1901 he made paintings of female figures, such as gypsies, and still lifes. He had a relationship with the gypsy model Consuelo, who became his muse. After Consuelo's early death, Nonell continued painting some gypsy women. Marked by impressionism, he is assigned to modernism. He has also been considered in a certain way a continuator of the vision of the so-called black Spain with Regoyos and Solana. From that chapter are his portraits of cretins and gypsies, showing the lowest classes of society in their misery and pain.

He participated in two more group exhibitions, one of members of the Círculo Artístico in the Sala Parés (1895) and another in El Niu Guerrer. In 1895 he took part for the first time in the National Exhibition of Madrid, exhibition in which he participated several times until 1910, without being awarded. In 1896 he exhibited with the Colla del Safrà in the Third Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was awarded an honorary mention. In the summer of the same year he moved to Boí (Lérida) together with Ricard Canals and Julio Vallmitjana, where he made numerous drawings on cretinism, then endemic in the area due to inbreeding practices. In autumn, Nonell exhibited these works in the salon of "La Vanguardia", and at the beginning of the following year he published his drawings in "Barcelona Cómica". Shortly afterwards he showed an oil painting also by Boí at the XIV Exhibition of the Sala Parés. That same year he went to Paris, again with Canals. In April 1897 he took part in the Salon du Champ de Mars in the French capital, and towards the end of the year he took part in the XV Exhibition of Impressionist and Symbolist Painters, also in Paris. At the beginning of 1898 he organized a joint exhibition with Canals at Le Barc de Boutteville. He returns months later and shows his sketches of Paris at Els Quatre Gats, but soon returns to the French capital. There, "La Vie Moderne" had published several of his works, and he exhibited individually in the outstanding gallery of Ambroise Vollard (1899). After rejecting the proposal of the art dealer Durand Ruel to paint "españoladas", he hurriedly returned to Barcelona, apparently for personal reasons. During 1902 and 1903 he exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés and the Ateneo in Barcelona, while sending works to the Parisian salons. He also published drawings in "Papitu", "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", "La Campana de Gràcia", "Quatre Gats", etc. Respected by restless young people, Nonell became the flag of a whole new generation of painters who sought realism and sincerity. Nonell is currently represented in the Reina Sofia Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, the MAPFRE Foundation and the Museum of Empordà, among others.

In 1892 he already presented in the Sala Parés some works that were described as impressionist by the critics, and the following year, within the group Academia Libre, he took part in a group exhibition headed by Rusiñol, which was also very combated by the sketchy invoice of the works presented.

Isidre Nonell Monturiol (Barcelona, November 30, 1872-Barcelona, February 21, 1911) was a Spanish painter and draughtsman, belonging to modernism. Born in Barcelona on November 30, 1872, he belonged to a relatively wealthy family. He trained in various academies, including Luis Graner's, 1889. He was part of the Els Quatre Gats group, with Picasso, Rusiñol and others. He lived on the fringes of bourgeois society, which he criticized in his paintings. Around 1891 he formed a small group of landscapers, cultivating this genre in small format. In 1893 he studied at the Escuela de la Lonja in Barcelona and held his first exhibition. In 1894 he began to draw little pictures of Cretins, especially when he left, two years later, with Ricard Canals for Caldas de Bohí. He dedicated this time in Caldas to painting landscapes and cretins. In February 1897 he went to Paris with Canals. There he exhibited, shared a studio with Picasso and made his paintings on the lower social classes. He returned to Barcelona in 1900. From 1901 he made paintings of female figures, such as gypsies, and still lifes. He maintained a relationship with the gypsy model Consuelo, who became his muse.After Consuelo's early death, Nonell continued painting some gypsy women. Marked by impressionism, he is attached to modernism. He has also been considered in a certain way to continue the vision of the so-called black Spain with Regoyos and Solana. From that chapter are his portraits of cretins and gypsies, showing in their misery and pain the lower classes of society.

Isidre Nonell (Barcelona, 1872-1911) Figura femenina de pie. Dibujo a la sanguina sobre papel. Firmado y fechado en 1909. Representa una mujer de pie, posiblemente una gitana, con el cuerpo de perfil hacia la izquierda mirando hacia el espectador. Tiene una expresión dulce y relajada, su cuerpo tiene el aspecto característico de las figuras nonelianas. Este dibujo se relaciona con los conservados en el Museo Nacional de Arte de Catalunya, en concreto el titulado "Senses feina" de 1909. A partir de 1907 se produce un cambio importante en la obra de Nonell. Apuesta por una paleta más clara y modelos posando de forma más natural y relajada, utilizando técnicas como la sanguina y acuarela que le permitían acabados más cálidos y un cromatismo más luminoso. En 1909 Nonell realiza una serie de dibujos con gitanas y también modelos de piel blanca en actitudes plácidas y desinhibidas como en la serie realizada sobre 1906. La mayoría son dibujos de forma vertical y la técnica más utilizada es la sanguina. Por tanto la obra que presentamos pertenece a la serie de 1909. El dibujo será incluido en el catálogo razonado del artista. Adjunta certificado de autenticidad expedido por Gloria Escala. 48 x 32 cm.

ISIDRE NONELL. FIGURA FEMENINA DE PIE.
Est: €5,800 - €7,000
Isidre Nonell (Barcelona, 1872-1911) Figura femenina de pie. Dibujo a sanguina sobre papel. Firmado y fechado en 1909. Representa una mujer de pie, posiblemente una gitana, con el cuerpo de perfil hacia la izquierda mirando hacia el espectador. Tiene una expresión dulce y relajada, su cuerpo tiene el aspecto característico de las figuras nonelianas. Este dibujo se relaciona con los conservados en el Museo Nacional de Arte de Catalunya, en concreto el titulado "Sense feina" de 1909. A partir de 1907 se produce un cambio importante en la obra de Nonell. Apuesta por una paleta más clara y modelos posando de forma más natural y relajada, utilizando técnicas como la sanguina y acuarela que le permitían acabados más cálidos y un cromatismo más luminoso. En 1909 Nonell realiza una serie de dibujos con gitanas y también modelos de piel blanca en actitudes plácidas y desinhibidas como en la serie realizada sobre 1906. La mayoría son dibujos de forma vertical y la técnica más utilizada es la sanguina. Por tanto la obra que presentamos pertenece a la serie de 1909. El dibujo será incluido en el catálogo razonado del artista. Adjunta certificado de autenticidad expedido por Gloria Escala. 48 x 32 cm.

ISIDRE NONELL I MONTURIOL (Barcelona, 1873 - 1911). "Male character", 1908. Pencils on paper.
Est: €1,800 - €2,200
ISIDRE NONELL I MONTURIOL (Barcelona, 1873 - 1911). "Male character", 1908. Pencils on paper. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Measurements: 24 x 31 cm; 52 x 59 cm (frame). At a formal level, this is a good example of Nonell as a draftsman, of his energetic, expressive and free stroke, clearly modern, as well as the color and his treatment of lights and shadows. We see the expressive power of the silhouette of the old man, worked with energetic pencil strokes, tangled and free, highlighted on a background with other characters, building space and volume by itself. Painter and draftsman, Nonell trained with Josep Mirabent, Luis Graner and at the Martínez Altés academy. In 1892 he presented his work at the Sala Parés, and the following year, as part of the Academia Libre group, he took part in a group exhibition headed by Rusiñol. In 1894 he participated in the Second Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and published drawings in "La Vanguardia". During these years he was a student at the La Lonja School in Barcelona, and between 1895 and 1896 he coincided with Joaquín Mir, Gosé, Sunyer and Torres-García. In 1895 he took part for the first time in the National Exhibition of Madrid, an exhibition in which he participated several times until 1910. In 1896 he exhibited with the Colla del Safrà at the Third Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was awarded an honorary mention. In the summer of the same year he moved to Boí (Lleida) together with Ricard Canals and Julio Vallmitjana, where he made numerous drawings on cretinism, then endemic in the area due to inbreeding practices. In autumn, Nonell exhibited these works in the salon of "La Vanguardia", and at the beginning of the following year he published his drawings in "Barcelona Cómica". Shortly after, he showed an oil painting also by Boí at the XIV Exhibition of the Sala Parés. That same year he went to Paris, again with Canals. In April 1897 he took part in the Salon du Champ de Mars in the French capital, and towards the end of the year he took part in the XV Exhibition of Impressionist and Symbolist Painters, also in Paris. At the beginning of 1898 he organized a joint exhibition with Canals at Le Barc de Boutteville. He returns months later and shows his sketches of Paris at Els Quatre Gats, but soon returns to the French capital. There, "La Vie Moderne" had published several of his works, and he exhibits individually in the outstanding gallery of Ambroise Vollard (1899). After rejecting the proposal of the art dealer Durand Ruel to paint "españoladas", he hurriedly returned to Barcelona, apparently for personal reasons. During 1902 and 1903 he exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés and the Ateneo in Barcelona, while sending works to the Parisian salons. He also published drawings in "Papitu", "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", "La Campana de Gràcia", "Quatre Gats", etc. Respected by restless young people, Nonell became the flag of a whole new generation of painters who sought realism and sincerity. Nonell is currently represented in the Reina Sofia Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona, the MAPFRE Foundation and the Museum of Empordà, among others.
