JOSEP PUIGMARTI VALLS (Monistrol de Calders, 1932 - Sitges, 2020). "Big-Bang Pearl”, Sitges, 2016. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm. The painter and sculptor Josep Puigmartí is considered one of the most prolific and transgressive artists of the European plastic arts in the second half of the 20th century. Born in Monistrol de Calders (Barcelona) in 1932, Josep Puigmartí was an artist with a wide and diverse career, as he ventured into styles such as expressionist schematism, erotic, pop-art and even surrealism. A "wanderer around the world", as he liked to define himself, Puigmartí also bequeathed a prolific body of work that he exhibited in galleries and museums in countries such as France, Belgium, Switzerland, the United States, China and the United Arab Emirates. Self-taught, Puigmartí had a dazzling but brief appearance in the Barcelona painting scene, since he became known in 1956 at the then influential Syra Gallery, in the modernist Casa Batlló in Barcelona, supported in the catalog by the critic Sebastià Gasch. However, his adventurous and wandering nature prompted him to leave for Paris, to later travel to Sweden, Denmark and Italy, where he held several exhibitions between 1962 and 1972 with works influenced by expressionism, informalism or figurativism. Puigmartí continued to maintain some contacts with Catalonia, as he was a regular in the bohemian Cadaqués of the late 50's and early 60's, when the territory where Dalí reigned was invaded during the summers by the "gauche divine" of Barcelona. Between 1972, when he settled in Paris, and his return to Catalonia in 1989, Puigmartí opened a long period -including five years in the United States- in which erotic themes prevailed, with the female body as a point of reference, although with a stylistic evolution that went through hyperrealism, surrealism or pop-art.
