Every time we suggested her to show her paintings in an exhibition, grandma Montserrat said that she painted only for her relatives and closest friends. And she worked hard: more than 150 of her paintings are exhibited in various households. I post a small selection of her canvas in this “virtual gallery”.<\/span><\/p>\n

See, mountain, town, city<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Already at a young age, grandma began to show that she had an innate ability for drawing. Her time at the School of Fine Arts<\/a> helped her perfect her technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

This selection of her works reflects the variety of motifs in his painting, which include the Mediterranean and towns on the Costa Brava – such as Cadaqu\u00e9s. From the Riba d’en Pitxot, the view shows the church of Santa Maria, Port d’Alguer beach and the well-known arcades of this promenade where Salvador Dal\u00ed had his studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

She drew other towns in Empord\u00e0. Pals, for example, which has a remarkable medieval historic center that grandma Montserrat perfectly knew how to capture with her paint brush. Or Calella de Palafrugell, with its famous vaults and Port Bo beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sea often features in her grandmother’s paintings, but so do mountain landscapes – and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe city where she was born in 1917. That year, the great Exposition d ‘French Art. Maybe the fact that the grandma was born in the year of that exceptional exhibition had something to do with her passion for painting, who knows!<\/span><\/p>\n

Versions … and family houses<\/h4>\n

In addition to seascapes and interiors, she also did her own interpretation of works by renowned painters. This is the case of Plein Air, by Ramon Casas, one of the Barcelona-born artist’s most paradigmatic paintings; or a detail from The spinners (Las hilanderas) by the baroque painter Diego Vel\u00e1zquez. In terms of technique, although she usually painted watercolors she also did some oil, pen drawing, and charcoal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Either motu proprio or at the request of one of us, grandma painted family houses and views of the family villages. The scenes of her paintings are mostly in Catalonia – from the Priorat to the Empord\u00e0 regions through the Maresme and the Vall\u00e8s – but also in Galicia on the border with Portugal, and even in Ecuador.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the last motifs she painted were the bridges of La Vilella Baixa, in the Priorat, another of the familiar towns. Grandma painted in a room in her house, her “atelier” at home, the place where she created her works.<\/span><\/p>\n
