Description
An intimate and highly expressive studio scene by Catalan painter Jordi Curós Ventura, depicting a seated female nude with the artist working at his easel in the background.
Painted circa 1978, the composition combines the traditional theme of the painter and his model with the vigorous, spontaneous handling characteristic of Curós's mature figurative work. Broad brushstrokes, simplified forms and a warm palette of ochres, flesh tones, mauves and earthy reds give the painting an immediate and distinctly Mediterranean character.
The unusual construction of the scene is particularly appealing: the model dominates the foreground while the painter appears behind her, introducing a second narrative plane and turning the work into a reflection on the act of painting itself.
Curós had returned to figurative painting after an important period of abstraction and Informalism during the late 1950s and early 1960s. In works such as this, his earlier experiments with color, gesture and matter remain visible within an expressive figurative language.
Jordi Curós Ventura
Jordi Curós Ventura (Olot, 1930–2017) was an important Catalan painter associated with the renewal of Spanish painting in the second half of the 20th century.
He trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in Olot and held his first solo exhibition in Barcelona in 1950. In 1952 he was selected by Eugeni d'Ors for the prestigious X Salón de los Once, and the following year participated in the II Hispano-American Biennial in Havana.
Curós exhibited extensively in Barcelona, Madrid and internationally. His career developed from early figurative painting toward abstraction and Informalism between approximately 1958 and 1963, before returning to figuration with a freer treatment of color, light and form.
He received grants to study in Paris in 1954 and 1958, and in 1953 the Museum of Modern Art of Barcelona acquired one of his works.
Pictorial inspiration
The expressive use of color and simplified construction of the human figure connect Curós with the broader European tradition represented by Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard and Raoul Dufy, while the painter-and-model subject inevitably recalls a long modern tradition explored by Pablo Picasso and other major artists of 20th-century European figurative painting.
