Lot description

JOSEP MORELL MACÍAS (Sant Esteve d'en Bas, Girona, 1899 - Barcelona, 1949). "Dancer". Original sketch for a poster. Watercolor on paper. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 14 x 8 cm; 26 x 22 cm (frame). The author of this work offers us a cheerful and dynamic scene starring an intense and contrasting color, enlivened by a passionate light treatment. A flamenco dancer is represented in a white ruffled costume, worked with energetic and totally dynamic strokes, which do not need a detailed description to reflect the movement and the sense of dance. Thus, the neat fabrics are decomposed in pure light, fold with the movement and highlight the physical presence of the woman, which directly affects the main figure. The costumbrista scene presents a cheerful palette, in keeping with the festive tone of the print.
