DANIEL PAREA Y ROJAS (Zaragoza, 1834 - 1909).La caída del picador o el garrochista" ("The Fall of the Picador or the Garrochista").Charcoal and chalk on paper.Signed in the lower right corner.Size: 32 x 49.5 cm; 35 x 62.5 cm (frame).Daniel Perea belongs to the first generation of great bullfighting poster designers, being a precursor of the genre together with Marcelino de Unceta and Ramón Miró. He also worked as a bullfighting illustrator, and was the creator of the famous bullfighting cards for the magazine "La Lidia", a publication of which he was also the director. Several of his works were exhibited at the First International Poster Exhibition held in St. Petersburg in 1897. Perea was characterised both by his bulls running across the paper and by his costumbrista style, rich in detail. He also cultivated landscape themes with popular scenes, with a loose brushstroke of Goyaesque inheritance. He is currently represented in many Spanish bullfighting museums, as well as in the municipal archives of cities such as San Sebastián and Zaragoza.

PERE PRUNA OCERANS (Barcelona, 1904 - 1977)."Dancers.Oil on canvas.Signed in the lower left corner.Size: 51 x 41 cm; 60 x 50 cm (frame).A mainly self-taught artist, Pere Pruna completed his training at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. After beginning to exhibit in Barcelona when he was still very young, he travelled to Paris in 1920, where he was helped and guided by Picasso. In the French capital he held a successful one-man show at the Galerie Percier, and came into contact with intellectuals such as Cocteau, Drieu la Rochelle, Max Jacob and others, with whom he founded the magazine "Philosophie" in 1924. Serge Diaghilev, who visited one of his exhibitions, also asked him to create the sets and costumes for the ballet "Les matelots" in 1925. From then on, he also worked on other musical works, such as "La vie de Polichinele" (1934) and "Oriane" (1938), among others. In 1928 he won second prize in the Carnegie Institute exhibition in Pittsburg and later, on his return to Barcelona, he won other awards such as the "Montserrat seen by Catalan artists" competition (1931) and the Nonell Prize (1936). The latter was surrounded by controversy, because Pruna won it for his oil painting "El vi de Chios", for which he used a photograph published in a Parisian pornographic magazine as a model. In response to the uproar, Pruna withdrew the prize, but the jury upheld its decision. Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Pruna settled in Paris and continued his international exhibition activity, most notably the exhibition organised in London in 1937. At the same time he worked for Ridruejo's propaganda services, with works such as the poster commemorating the promulgation of the Labour Force, and Eugenio d'Ors, National Head of Fine Arts, introduced him to the Spanish representation at the Venice Biennale in 1938. After the war he combined easel painting exhibitions with mural painting, a genre in which his work in the Monastery of Montserrat was particularly celebrated. In 1965 he won the City of Barcelona Prize, and three years later he was appointed academician of the Far de Sant Cristòfor. His style, centred on a graceful, stylised female figure, is based on the clear delicacy of the pink and "neoclassical" Picasso, and reveals a certain parallelism with the Italian Novencento, being fully in keeping with the classicist trend that appeared in Western art after the first wave of avant-gardism and of which his friend Cocteau was the driving force. Pruna focused on portraiture and above all on the female figure, capturing images marked by great delicacy and sober distinction. His representations are characterised by a stylised, diaphanous line, and are in tune with the return to order that followed the rupture that Cubism represented in France, thus linking directly with the avant-garde. Pere Pruna is currently represented in the Museum of Montserrat, where there is a space bearing his name, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Maricel Museum in Sitges, among others.

JOSÉ MONGRELL TORRENT (Valencia, 1870 - Barcelona, 1937)."Parrot".Oil on cardboard.Signed in the lower right corner.Size: 51 x 41 cm; 80 x 66 cm (frame).José Mongrell studied at the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he was a disciple of Ignacio Pinazo and Joaquín Sorolla. He gained artistic renown thanks to his participation in numerous competitions and exhibitions in Madrid and Barcelona. In 1897 he produced, with great success, the bullfighting poster for the Feria de San Jaime in Valencia, and in fact his poster for the Valencia July Fair of 1912 was reissued in 1971 on the occasion of the centenary of these festivities. He obtained a teaching post at the San Jorge School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he lived for the rest of his life. Of particular note from this period is the work he did for the Palace of the Generalitat de Catalunya, in charge of the Diputació de Barcelona, as well as his portrait of King Alfonso XIII. He also produced mosaics in the Art Nouveau style, such as those for the great arch of the Mercado de Colón and the façade of the Estación del Norte, both in Barcelona. Mongrell devoted himself to genre scenes, portraits and landscapes, and was a master of capturing the instant, giving his scenes vitality and dynamism through bright, naturalistic colours and light. Traditionally pigeonholed as a disciple of Sorolla, Mongrell, however, only learned from the master what helped him to extend his art. The painter developed his work somewhere between regionalism and modernism, but a certain French-influenced symbolism can also be seen in his work. In fact, Mongrell was characterised by his emphasis on content, attributing to the image a meaning that went beyond pure appearance. At a time when grand, idealistic and dramatic historical compositions prevailed, Mongrell developed a style of painting concerned with depicting the past and present from an everyday, gentle and picturesque perspective, generally far removed from the grandiloquence and theatricality of academic history painting. Despite his technical mastery, Mongrell did not, like others, fall into a refined mannerism at the service of an inconsequential subject matter, but developed a fully personal language, characterised by its dynamism and expressive freedom. José Mongrell is currently represented in the Museo de Bellas Artes San Pío V and the Museo Nacional de Cerámica y de Artes Suntuarias González Martí in Valencia, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Asturias, Badajoz and Pontevedra, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Museo de La Habana and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, among others.

A French gold and enamel vesta case, circa 1900, of rectangular form with sloping sprung hinged lid, enamelled throughout, the front and reverse depicting images of Fanny Legrand, in two different black gowns, front panel with artist’s monogram, dimensions 50 x 36 x 10mm. £500-£600 --- The image to the reverse of the vesta case is after the oil painting by Italian artist Ignace Spiridon, painted in 1894, depicting Fanny LeGrand, the main character from the French author Alfonce Duadet’s novel ‘Sappho’, published in 1884. The story was a thinly disguised autobiographical account of Daudet's love affair with the notorious Parisian model-cum-courtesan, Marie Rieu, the story perhaps written as moral tale intended for his two sons to read when of age. In 1900, an American play of the same name, ‘Sapho’ (sic) was produced by Clyde Fitch, and based on the 1884 French novel. The play caused a sensation in New York City leading to an indecency trial involving the play's star and producer/director, Olga Nethersole. The court case was ultimately considered to be a landmark case in the transformation of American society away from the Victorian morals of the past. Spiridon’s painting was used as the basis for the theatre posters advertising Olga Nethersole’s role in the play. The Broadway poster shows a more modest version of the dress length than seen in the original painting.
