Description
Jose Ventosa Domenech (Spanish, 1897–1982).
This work is offered unframed.
A substantial oil painting showing a luminous view of the island of Mallorca with ancient olive groves and mountain cliffs bathed in warm evening light beneath clouded blue skies. A large and rare study of the island by this notable Catalan artist.
Born in Barcelona, José Ventosa Doménech first attended the San Jorge School of Fine Arts in 1911. He then undertook an extended trip to Brussels where he studied Vanguard painting before returning to Barcelona where he continued his studies with the Realist, Martí Alsina. In 1922, Ventosa worked alongside Eliseu Meifren and Domingo Soler in Ripoll. From 1924, Ventosa exhibited in Barcelona as a member of the "Nou Ambient", the Catalan art collective. Over the course of a long career, Ventosa exhibited widely and with success, both in group shows and as a solo artist, in Europe and South America including in Mexico ("Manifestation of Catalan Art", 1937) and in Palma de Mallorca (Galería Costa, 1947)
