RICARDO OPISSO I SALA (Tarragona, 1880 - Barcelona, 1966)."Couple in a Parisian café".Pencil and crayon on paper.Signed in the lower right corner.Size: 26.5 x 21 cm; 43 x 35.5 cm (frame).Opisso was a painter, draughtsman and cartoonist. In his youth he participated in the Barcelona modernist environment, and in fact in 1894 he began to work as an apprentice with Antoni Gaudí in the works of the Sagrada Família. Two years later, backed by the architect, he became a member of the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc, with whom he would later exhibit at the Sala Parés. He was linked to the group Els Quatre Gats, together with Ramon Casas, Manuel Hugué, Isidre Nonell and Pablo Picasso, among others. In 1901 he made a trip to Paris, where Picasso and Hugué were already there. He worked as an illustrator in publications such as "Cu-cut!" and "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", signing drawings aimed at political satire, in a style close to art nouveau. In 1907 he took part in the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona and was awarded a third-class medal. Due to the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, Opisso abandoned political satire and his drawings moved towards genre themes, specialising in popular scenes. His works from this period are characterised by the presentation of motley crowds of people in popular Barcelona settings. After exhibiting several times in succession at the Sala Parés, he held his first solo exhibition in 1935 at the Syra galleries in Barcelona. During the post-war period he continued to exhibit in various galleries in Barcelona, and reaped considerable success with both critics and the public. In 1953 he received recognition from his hometown at the 4th Tarragona Art Fair. Most of his work is kept in the Opisso Museum in Barcelona, but it is also present in the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg. In terms of exhibitions, the one held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in 2004, entitled "Pintura catalana, del naturalisme al noucentisme" (Catalan Painting, from Naturalism to Noucentisme), was particularly noteworthy, in which his work "Carnaval" (Carnival) was exhibited. He has also had anthological exhibitions at the Saló del Tinell (1979), the Palau de la Virreina (1980), the Barcelona International Boat Show (1973), the Fundació La Caixa (1988, 2004, 2008) and the Caixa Tarragona (2003).

Private collection, UK (acquired at the above sale).ExhibitedSan Francisco, John Berggruen Gallery, Picasso, The Berggruen Album, 4 March – 10 April 2004, no. 19 (later travelled to New York).'Every painter takes himself for Rembrandt' – Pablo PicassoFemme assise et gentilhomme is an exquisite work on paper by Pablo Picasso. Representing two of the most defining subjects of his oeuvre, the artist's model and the musketeer, this work is an iconic example from Picasso's mature period and stands testament to the artist's desire to confirm his place alongside the greatest painters of the Western art historical canon. In the final years of Picasso's life, swashbuckling seventeenth century mousquetaires occupied the artist's output. Immediately identifiable by the long pipe, broad brimmed hat and imperial moustache, the musketeer in the present work is highly evocative of Golden Age portraiture, most notably that of Rembrandt - an artist whom Picasso deeply revered. The musketeer would come to operate both as a signifier of the great Old Masters and as a psychological substitute for the artist himself.In the mid-1960s, Picasso, whilst recovering from surgery, devoured literary classics such as Shakespeare, and Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers. Simultaneously, Picasso studied Otto Benesch's landmark publication of Rembrandt's drawings, as there was a revived interest in the great master on the occasion of the three hundredth anniversary of his death. Picasso grew fonder of Rembrandt's work and saw an opportunity to dive into the mind of his mighty predecessor. A projection of the Night Watch appeared on the walls of his studio, through which Picasso was able to transport himself into the adventurous world of chivalrous noblemen. Like Rembrandt, Picasso was also keen on inserting himself into his works, taking on various guises and approaching his output with a brilliant sense of wit and skill. He increasingly started to relate to the Dutch master, and throughout the final chapter of his life, Rembrandt's artistic universe remained an important source of inspiration for Picasso, as if Rembrandt was 'an all-powerful God-figure whom Picasso had to internalize before he died' (J. Richardson quoted in Late Picasso, exh. cat., Tate, London, 1988, p. 34).In Femme assise et gentilhomme, Picasso subtly disrupts the traditional power dynamics between artist and subject. The musketeer and model behold each other with an uncompromising gaze, but the imposing and elevated position of the female subject lends her a regal air, while the musketeer archetype adopts a more submissive, courtly persona. It is a subtle homage to some of Picasso's earliest works from his artist and models series, which are known to represent Rembrandt and his wife Saskia. The present work was originally part of a sketchbook containing twenty-six drawings which were executed over a period of eight days in November 1970. Completed wholly in India ink, Picasso underscores his mastery of the medium in the present work and thereby affirms his position as one of the greatest draughtsmen of the twentieth century. Alongside its art historical significance, the present work is also distinguished by an exceptional pedigree. Femme assise et gentilhomme was once owned by Heinz Berggruen, an art dealer but - most of all – a close friend to the artist and a passionate collector. He acquired Femme assise et gentilhomme from a private French collection and kept it in his personal collection until his death. Berggruen made a name for himself as a gallery owner in Paris in the post-war era. Originally born into a German-Jewish family, Berggruen lived in Berlin until his early adulthood before fleeing to the US in 1936 where he would spend nearly a decade, holding various artistic positions at public institutions and art journals. After Europe's liberation, he decided to return to the continent and settled in the French capital in 1947. He started a gallery and found his true calling as a dealer. Berggruen quickly ranked as one of the most prominent figures within Parisian artistic circles, with artists like Van Gogh, Cézanne, Matisse, Klee, Arp and Giacometti included in his stable. Picasso, however, would have more impact on Berggruen than any other and would become of great significance to the art dealer, both personally and professionally. The artist entered Berggruen's world in 1951, having already enjoyed a sixty-year long career and celebrated as one of the most famous artists alive. Introduced through their mutual friend Tristan Tzara, Berggruen met Picasso in his studio on the rue des Grands-Augustins. Berggruen recalled that 'in physical terms alone, Picasso was an impressive sight. His wonderful, clear-cut face, his magnificent, large, magnetic eyes, his stocky, athletic body – it was as if every part of him had been cast from the same mould, as if he were his own, self-created masterpiece. During our very first encounter I already found myself enchanted by this man' (H. Berggruen, Highways and Byways, Guildford, 1996, p. 184).After their first encounter, a lifelong friendship was born, and Picasso was added to Berggruen's roster of artists. It marked the beginning of a collecting journey for Berggruen, during which he found some of the finest works and collections from the artist's all-embracing oeuvre. One of the most notable collections that passed through Berggruen's hands was Gertrude Stein's collection of Blue and Rose Period works. To this day, Stein is widely regarded as the first collector to champion Picasso's work. Berggruen's gallery became a hub for American collectors and was frequently visited by influential figures such as Alfred J. Barr and Nelson Rockefeller. For Berggruen, collecting and selling often went hand in hand: 'In my days as an art dealer I was always looking for ways to perfect, enrich and consolidate my Picasso collection. Or, to put it differently, over some thirty years some of the most significant Picassos passed through my hand, and I was all too often confronted with the decision as to whether I should see or keep a drawing, a watercolour of a painting' (H. Berggruen, op. cit., p. 179).On his frequent visits to Picasso in the South of France, Berggruen would bring Picasso news 'from the big world outside' and show Picasso his latest trouvailles. Their last encounter took place in 1969, but Berggruen would remain under the great artist's spell well after that. In the span of thirty years, Berggruen amassed a profound and carefully selected body of works, spanning from the Blue Period all the way through to 1973, the year of Picasso's death: 'by consistently and persistently collecting Picasso's works, I attempted to create an impression of the cosmos of this man, who, like no other, carried within him the lebensgefühl (life-feeling) of an entire century' (H. Berggruen, op. cit., p. 184).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Antoni Clave, Spanish 1913-2005 - Stage design for Roland Petit's 'Carmen', c.1949; gouache, coloured chalks, pen and black ink on paper, 38.5 x 60 cm (ARR) Note: This dynamic work by Antoni Clave is an original stage design for Roland Petit's ballet from Georges Bizet's opera 'Carmen', first performed in London at the Prince's Theatre in 1949. This celebrated production was renowned for its Spanish style and blend of the classical and modern, and remains one of Petit's most performed productions. Clave had produced numerous set designs in the 1940s and 50s, and was eventually nominated for two Academy Awards for his designs for Charles Vidor's 1952 film 'Hans Christian Anderson'. Like other works from this series of designs, Clave offsets bold strokes of pure colour against the black of the sheet, creating a dramatic and energetic scene. The simplified, yet direct, drawing of the figures is highly characteristic of the artist and shows the influence of his friend and fellow Spaniard Pablo Picasso and the forms of Cubism on his work. Clave has works in major public collections across the world, including Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia Museo, Madrid, British Museum, London and Musee d'Art Moderne de Paris. During his lifetime he exhibited with important galleries including Arthur Tooth & Sons, London in 1955 and the Picasso Museum, Antibes in 1958 and won a prize at the Venice Biennale in 1956. In 2022, the Palazzo Franchetti held the exhibition 'The Spirit of the Warrior' devoted to the artist's work to coincide with the Venice Biennale. Please refer to department for condition report

During the 1920s and following the First World War, like his contemporaries Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, Bernard reasserted a Neo-Classical language into his work, exploring the history of 19th century painting. Like Matisse’s odalisques of the 1920s, the work also shows the influence of Orientalism, but Bernard imbues his subjects with a sense of power as they confront the viewer with their gaze.Émile Bernard was one of the most important French artists of the late 19th century, developing a modern Symbolist style alongside his friend Paul Gauguin in Britanny in the 1880s, based on an expressive use of colour and religious, pastoral imagery.

"Diurnes (Tagfalter) ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit von Picasso, dem Photographen André Villers und dem Schriftsteller Jacques Prévert. Picasso hatte 1961 zahlreiche Köpfe und Figuren von Menschen und Tieren aus Papier ausgeschnitten, wobei er eine schon 1943 verwendete Technik weiterentwickelte. Villers montierte diese zerschnittenen Figuren auf dreißig verschiedene Fotografien und stellte sie so in realistische Kontexte und Situationen. Prévert schließlich erzählte die vergnügliche Geschichte dieser kurzlebigen Wesen vom Sonnenaufgang bis zum Sonnenuntergang. Picasso entwarf das Titelblatt und den Einband der Kassette" (Goeppert-Cramer). - Innen wohlerhalten.
