Description
Emilio Grau Sala (1911-1975) - The Paddock. Original lithograph in colours on wove paper with untrimmed edges, 54 x 75 cm. Artist's proof (EA) signed in pencil by the artist lower right. Condition A, perfect state of preservation. This work is a perfect illustration of the elegance and joie de vivre that characterise the style of Grau Sala, a major figure of the École de Paris of Catalan origin. In it, the artist captures the effervescence of society and the grace of horse-racing scenes, a favourite subject that he treats with a vibrant, impressionist touch. His luminous palette and fluid brushstrokes evoke a world of festivities and refined leisure, where the silhouettes of horses and spectators blend into an open-air atmosphere bathed in light. The large, untrimmed vellum paper base underlines the luxurious, meticulous nature of this edition, while its status as an artist's proof guarantees exceptional freshness of colour. An emblematic piece for collectors seeking the poetic charm and chromatic virtuosity of this heir to Renoir and Bonnard.
