At seventeen years of age, Robert Anglada won the “A la pintura Jove” award at Sala Parés, followed shortly afterwards with a scholarship from the Cercle Maillol at the Institut Français in Barcelona, which enabled him to study art in Paris. He drew inspiration from Informalism and the austere Terra Alta countryside of Horta de Sant Joan to create grey, dark fantastical landscapes, occasionally featuring organic or human forms. His painting caught the eye of critics such as Alexandre Cirici, Xavier Rubert de Ventós and Maria Lluïsa Borràs, who extolled him for the exaltation of aggressivity and the eroticism influenced by Francis Bacon. He was very successful in the sixties and held many exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris, Lyon and Germany.
