“Ràfols-Casamada presents,” wrote the historian and critic J.F. Yvars, “in sharp profile the Romantic chimera we still refer to as the complete artist.” Merging Catalan classical tradition with his own sensibility and producing art that is spontaneous and expresses the subconscious, Ràfols-Casamada (Barcelona, 1923-2009) is a key figure in the history of Catalan art who has bequeathed us a recognition of painterly painting; the material of painting as an artistic object in itself. Pintura (Painting) brings together, alongside passages from his personal journal, around 40 works in which the artist discourses with reality via the silences of form and colour.
