MATÍAS PALAU FERRÉ (Montblanch, 1921-2000). Untitled. Waxes and pastels on thick paper. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 70 x 50 cm; 85,5 x 65,5 cm (frame). The delicate female portraits of cubist heritage and subtly surreal like the one we are dealing with here were Palau Ferré most emblematic and personal creations. He studied at the Real Academia Catalana de Bellas Artes de San Jorge, Barcelona and moved to Paris in 1957 where he was one of Pablo Picasso's disciples. He began with some cubist-inspired works on oil canvases. Over the years he also did some ceramics and a few sculptures. After coming to fame in Spain he exhibited in several foreign countries, including France, the UK and the USA. His most important works are Woman and Moon, Montblanch and Guer-Blanc. Palau Ferré became notorious for his sudden mood swings, which led him to burn his oil paintings in 1974 after a dispute with a gallery owner. As a protest against what he defined as the "prostitution of art", he continued to systematically burn all his oil paintings that came into his possession over a period of about twenty years. He usually scattered the ashes of his paintings ceremonially in the Francolí River in his homeland, but some of the ashes of his canvases were saved and became part of an art exhibition in Pennsylvania, USA.1 His prolonged protest led him to stop painting oil canvases and to prohibit the few that survived from being exhibited until 1989. In his last artistic phase he painted only in India ink on thick paper using a technique of his own invention. He always signed his works with his two surnames "Palau Ferré". Palau Ferré died on 1 January 2000 in Montblanch and the town council named a street after him that same year. Months later, the Palau Ferré Art Museum was inaugurated, where some of his works are exhibited, including some rare canvases that were saved from burning.

MATÍAS PALAU FERRER (Montblanch, 1921-2000). "Woman with flowers". Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left corner. Size: 98 x 78,5 cm; 106 x 87 cm (frame). In this work Maties Palau Ferré offers us a beautiful scene of colour and light, based on a rigorous composition starring a young woman who offers the spectator a vase with flowers, and a clearly modern concept of space, of cubist heritage. In this way, Palau Ferré overcomes classical forms to show us another way of seeing reality, freed from the chains of learning, the fruit of experimentation and reflection. He studied at the Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Saint George, Barcelona, and moved to Paris in 1957, where he was one of Pablo Picasso's disciples. He began with some cubist-inspired works on oil canvases. Over the years he also did some ceramics and a few sculptures.
