EMILIO GRAU SALA Spanish, 1911 - 1975 PLAGE DE TROUVILLE signed Grau Sala (lower left) signed again, located & dated "Grau Sala, Trouville, 1953" on the reverse oil on canvas 15 X 24 inches (38 X 61 cm.) framed: 24-1/2 X 33-3/4 inches (62.5 X 85.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private French Collection Emilio Grau Sala came from a family of artists. He was born in Barcelona in 1911 and his father, a good cartoonist, had been one of the promoters of the "Salon des Humanistes" and made his exhibitions normally in the Parés Hall. His first works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents, in the years 1930-33. Grau Sala was essentially a Mediterranean painter, son of post-impressionism and enriched with French painting of the last fifty years. Grau Sala lived and absorbed all the avant-garde movements that broke through in Paris, but never adhered to any. Creating your personal style. His pictorial lyricism and naturalism superimposed the evotative and sensitive quality of the image to any other concern. In 1953 Grau Sala spends his first summer in Honfleur becoming one of the most active Honflerian painters. Honfleur forms a coast triangle next to Deauville and Trouville, and in that August of 53, Grau Sala pinto is an elegant beach, which at that time met French and European high society. His works can be found in the Museums of the Villa de Paris, L'Ile de France Museum, at the Château de Sceaux, Honfleur Museum, La Rochelle Museum, Barcelona Museum, Tossa de Mar...

Colorful Mediterranean Beach Promenade with Café Terraces and Figures Artist: Elisabeth Ollé Curiel Title: La Playa Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm / 23.62 × 28.74 in Framed dimensions: 78 × 91 cm / 30.71 × 35.83 in Signature: Signed “Ollé Curiel” lower right Inscription: Titled “La Playa” on the reverse Origin: Spain Style: Fauvist, Expressionist, Mediterranean Modern Period: Late 20th century Condition: Good original condition, with minor signs of age and wear consistent with its history Frame: Presented in its original wooden frame DESCRIPTION A vibrant Mediterranean beach scene by Spanish painter Elisabeth Ollé Curiel, depicting a lively seaside promenade filled with café terraces, striped awnings, strolling figures and sunlit architecture overlooking the deep blue sea. Ollé Curiel constructs the composition through broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and an exuberant palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, emerald green, yellow, red and ochre. The figures and architectural elements are deliberately simplified, creating a rhythmic and highly expressive vision of everyday coastal life. The large green-and-white café canopy anchors the foreground, while the promenade leads the eye toward the sea and the bright horizon. Rather than offering a literal representation, the artist transforms the beach into a celebration of color, movement and Mediterranean light. The painting is signed in the lower-right corner and titled “La Playa” on the reverse. Its generous format and vivid chromatic presence make it an excellent statement piece for a contemporary, modernist or Mediterranean-inspired interior. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Elisabeth Ollé Curiel is a Spanish painter and sculptor born in Barcelona in 1960. Her artistic identity is shaped by both her Catalan background and her family connections with Venezuela and the Caribbean. Her work explores memory, cultural identity, travel and the meeting of different landscapes and traditions. Mediterranean villages, Caribbean settings, urban scenes, music and the human figure frequently appear in her paintings. Ollé Curiel’s pictorial language combines expressive color, simplified forms and gestural brushwork. Her work reveals affinities with Fauvism, Expressionism and lyrical abstraction while maintaining a distinctive and highly personal character. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally and are appreciated for their vitality, emotional immediacy and fusion of European and Caribbean visual influences. PICTORIAL INSPIRATION The painting reflects the legacy of Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy and the Fauvist tradition, particularly in its liberated use of color, flattened perspective and joyful interpretation of Mediterranean life. Its energetic brushwork and spontaneous figures also evoke European Expressionism, while the luminous palette and bustling café atmosphere recall the modern coastal scenes painted throughout the French and Spanish Mediterranean during the 20th century.
