Charcoal drawing on paper “Forest”, Joan Granados Llimona, 1977- Spain
Exquisite charcoal drawing on paper depicting a forest landscape. Made by the grandson of the musician Enrique Granados and the painter Joan Llimona, Joan Granados Llimona. Signed in the upper right corner and dated the year it was made, 1977.
It is a work that moves between realism and abstraction. A juxtaposition of forms is thus appreciated, but the composition retains fidelity to the literal representation. It is a forest made from geometric shapes, where the lights and shadows contrast enormously.
Joan Granados Llimona was born in Barcelona in 1931, he trained at the Llotja in Barcelona and at the School of Fine Arts in Olot. His restlessness led him to discover the world, paying special attention to the landscapes and its people, studying human anatomy. In his production as a cartoonist he brought together various procedures and specialties such as poster design, book illustration, murals, covers and Christmas greetings or the cultivation of drawing as an end in itself.
As an autonomous work of art, with its infinite potential of qualities, resources of lines or stains, expressive distortions, spells and arabesques, resources in which he reveals himself as a true master, subjecting them to a vision of man and the world not because it is eclectic and varied less staff. His works were presented at auctions, most in the “Watercolor Drawing” category.
He obtained multiple medals and drawing prizes, especially from Girona and its regions. He was a finalist in one of the editions of Ynglada Guillot, and his work was acquired as a destination for the Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona. He made his work known in Hamburg, Barcelona, Valencia, Girona, Figueres, Olot, Vic, Vidreres, Banyoles, Lleida, Calella, Palafrugell, Llafranc, etc.
