FRENCH NUDE PORTRAIT OIL PAINTING BY EMILIO GRAU SALA
Emilio Grau Sala, French, Spanish, 1911 to 1975, oil painting on canvas depicting a semi-nude portrait of a woman, 1965. Signed lower right. Additionally signed, inscribed, Paris, and dated, on the backside. Inscribed, Luisa Marin, on a paper label, on the backside. Framed. Emilio Grau Sala is known for Abstract floral still life, figure and genre painting, stage design, and illustration. A School of Paris painter who never abandoned lyrical figurative and landscape subjects, Emilio Grau Sala was born in Barcelona and studied at the School of Fine Arts in his native town. Beginning his public career in 1929, he moved to Paris in 1932 and exhibited at the Salon du Printemps. His lively and graceful street scenes, circus rings and interiors accorded well with current sensibilities in the Parisian art center, and Grau Sala quickly gained an international reputation. In 1937 he was awarded a Carnegie prize in Pittsburgh, and his regular exhibitions in the United States made him as sought after overseas as he was in Europe. In addition to his work as a painter, Grau-Sala was also recognized as an important illustrator, decorator, and pastel painter, illustrating numerous fine editions of volumes by authors such as Flaubert, Baudelaire, and Maupassant. One of a kind artwork.
