Artigas L’home del foc

Exposición de cerámica “Artigas. L’home del foc” en La Pedrera

Bellissima giornata nella mitica Barcellona e stupenda mostra che celebra l'arte di Josep Llorens Artigas (bcn 1892).  La Pedrera, una della case più amate realizzate dal mitico Gaudì, ospita al suo interno questa incredibile retrospettiva, più di 150 opere in un allestimento che non poteva essere più bello. Una vera gioia per gli occhi, si potevano ammirare le ceramiche monocrome in un crescendo di colori e finiture, chiara la sua passione per le ceramiche del periodo Song, fino alla sua collaborazione con Raoul Dufy e Joan Mirò.
Me la sono veramente goduta.

the exhibition
More than 150 pieces from the long career of Josep Llorens Artigas can be seen in this exhibit until next September

Born in 1982 in Barcelona and deceased in 1980 in Gallifa, Artigas was one of the most important European ceramists in the 20th Century since 1920s, when with his nineteenth-century education he contributed to renew Western pottery by focusing on the glaze and putting the decoration aside.
Artigas began working in pottery motivated by the resurgence of this art in France and his fascination for the Chinese Song dynasty pottery (960-1279), and for half century he created pieces that we will see represented in “Artigas. L’home del foc” by more than 150 works that in chronological order go through his career and evolution, starting with what he himself considered a masterpiece, “Clar de lluna”, from 1927, and until the 1970s, when Artigas teamed up with Raoul Dufy and the very Joan Miró.
This exhibition is a unique opportunity to admire the artist’s works, because an exhibition so big hadn’t taken place in Barcelona for about 30 years. We will have his unique pieces, his author pieces, until next September 2nd at La Pedrera, from 10 am to 8 pm all week and with free entrance.
