    JOSEP DE TOGORES I LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, Barcelona, 1893–Barcelona, 1970). "Portrait of a Woman." Oil on canvas. Signed. Measurements: 90 x 74 cm; 103 x 86 cm (frame). A portrait with a powerful presence, in which the female figure is rendered with a blend of elegance, introspection, and quiet authority. The figure leans relaxed in an armchair with curved arms, her hands resting in her lap. The composition is built on a strong chromatic contrast: the depth of the dark dress set against the luminous vibrancy of the blue background, which envelops the figure and accentuates her presence. The face, rendered with confident and nuanced brushwork, embodies the expressive intensity of the work: the direct gaze, the red lips, and the reserved expression lend the model a distinguished, almost distant presence. Togores also attaches great importance to the details that articulate the portrait’s personality: the earrings, the watch, the ring, the polished nails, and the white handkerchief add touches of worldly refinement without disrupting the overall austerity of the image. Josep de Togores i Llach was a singular figure in 20th-century Catalan art. Initially associated with Noucentisme and the artistic renewal of the early decades of the century, his work evolved through Mediterranean classicism, Cubist influence, and figurative art of great formal solidity. The Reina Sofía Museum has highlighted him as a key artist for understanding the links between the Spanish artistic renewal and the European avant-garde, particularly in his work from 1914 to 1931. His work is represented in the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, which lists him as Josep de Togores Llach, Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893–Barcelona, 1970, and in the collection of the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.

    Est: €7,000 - €7,500

    JOSEP DE TOGORES LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970). "Composition", 1926. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. With label of Galerie Simon and Sala Gaspar on the back. Measurements: 38 x 61 cm; 40 x 63 cm (frame). "Composition" takes on exceptional relevance as it belongs to Togores' Parisian period during the 1920s. During this period, under the exclusive contract of the famous art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler (discoverer of Picasso and Juan Gris), the artist explored a language close to synthetic cubism with subtle surrealist nuances. The composition is characterized by a harmonious display of fluid forms that distance themselves from the marked figurative style that would define his later production. The piece acquires an exceptional historical value as it retains the Galerie Simon label on the back. This label is not only a mark of provenance, but also the testimony of Togores' period of greatest international projection in the European avant-garde. Under the protection of this gallery, the artist was part of the pictorial elite of the time, exhibiting his work alongside masters such as Picasso, Juan Gris, Léger and Braque. This relationship was decisive for his language -a very personal Cubism- to obtain the support and recognition of international critics. Born into a well-to-do and cultured family that frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He traveled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona, he was fascinated by the work of Monet. At the age of eighteen he is already an important artist in Barcelona, and in 1913 he is commissioned to decorate the chapel of Anna Girona in Poblet. With a scholarship from the city council of Barcelona, he moved to Paris to study, where he became acquainted with the painting of Cézanne, who would be a decisive influence on his work from then on. In 1917 he meets Picasso, and comes into contact with cubist theories and circles. In the 1920s he began his relationship with the gallery owner Kahnweiler, who would later become Picasso's dealer. He worked exclusively with him between 1921 and 1931, when his painting went through its most experimental period, approaching automatism and surrealism. Under Kahnweiler's guidance he became an enormously successful artist. In 1932 his painting takes a new turn, a return to figuration. He moves to Barcelona and works with a new dealer, Francesc Cambó. During this period he painted many portraits of the most important people in Catalan society, and became one of the most sought-after painters of the time. During the Civil War he moved to France, but returned in 1939, where he continued to work, without having lost any of his prestige. His work is present in the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional del Arte de Cataluña, the Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museo de Arte de Sabadell, the Städtisches Gelsenkirchen Museum (Germany), the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), the Palacio Nacional de Montjuic and the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), among others.

    JOSEP DE TOGORES (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970) "Children playing", 1931 Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. With labels on the back of the Sala Gaspar (Barcelona) and the Carnegie Institute (Pittsburgh), where the work was exhibited. Catalogued, nº 78. Measurements: 64 × 100 cm. Child scene of great delicacy in which Josep de Togores represents several children immersed in the game inside a domestic space. The composition, organized in a slow rhythm of figures distributed in the foreground, transmits a sensation of intimacy and seclusion, where each gesture -from the concentration in the game to the interaction between the characters- is treated with special sensitivity. The work is part of the artist's mature stage, characterized by a refined figuration, simplified volumes and soft contours. The clear and nuanced palette, together with a controlled but lively brushstroke, reflects Togores' evolution towards a more serene and balanced language, in which the representation of childhood becomes a vehicle for harmony, order and everyday beauty. Josep de Togores was an outstanding figure in 20th century Catalan painting. Trained in Barcelona, he furthered his studies in Paris, where he came into contact with the European avant-garde and with artists such as Picasso, as well as receiving the decisive influence of Cézanne. During the 1920s he worked with the famous art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, which consolidated his international projection. His work is preserved in important institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Barcelona), the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid), the Getty Museum (Los Angeles) and the Centre Pompidou (Paris), among others.

    JOSEP DE TOGORES (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970) "Family Curzio".1931. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Provenance: galerie Simon, Paris. With labels of the gallery Joan Gaspar of Barcelona and Simon of Paris. Measurements: 118 x 81 cm; 128 x 86 cm (frame). In "Famille Curzio", Togores presents a collective portrait of great psychological intensity, articulated by means of a frontal and sober composition that concentrates the attention on the figures. The characters are arranged on different planes, generating a structure that brings balance and solidity to the whole. The red background reinforces the prominence of the figures and accentuates the emotional dimension of the scene. The painting evidences the artist's transition stage towards a figuration of great formal clarity, where the simplification of volumes and the sculptural treatment of the bodies reveal the assimilation of the lessons of Cézanne and Parisian modernity. The figures, with concentrated and expressive faces, convey an introspective atmosphere that gives the work an almost monumental character despite the fact that it is a domestic scene. Made in 1931, at a key moment in Togores' career. The provenance of the Galerie Simon in Paris, linked to Kahnweiler, underlines the Parisian context in which the artist achieved an important international projection. Josep de Togores was one of the leading figures of 20th century Catalan painting. Trained in Barcelona, he furthered his studies in Paris, where he came into contact with the avant-garde and with artists such as Picasso. During the 1920s he worked with the famous art dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. From the thirties he returned to a figuration of great formal solidity, becoming one of the most sought after portraitists of Catalan society. His work is preserved in important institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (Barcelona), the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid), the Getty Museum (Los Angeles) and the Centre Pompidou (Paris), among others.

Measurements: 73,5 x 100 cm; 79 x 106 cm (frame). Scene of strong human charge in which Togores represents the figure of a humble old man asleep, captured in a moment of rest and abandonment. The character appears leaning on his arms, in a closed composition that concentrates the attention on the figure and reinforces the introspective character of the scene. The work stands out for the volumetric treatment of the forms, resolved by means of a dense and modeled brushstroke. The warm tones build the folds of the clothing and the body of the character, generating an intimate and silent atmosphere that underlines the social and emotional content of the motif.

    JOSEP DE TOGORES LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970). "Female nude", 1920. Watercolor on paper. Signed and dated in the upper right corner. Measurements: 18 x 23 cm; 32,5 x 37,5 cm (frame). In this work Togores represents a female nude captured from life through a synthetic language, with energetic and well controlled strokes, which seeks above all to capture the volume and geometric play, while maintaining descriptive details that avoid the loss of realism. Both the colors, soft and bright, and the shapes, rounded, manage to recreate an atmosphere of dreaminess and intimacy. Born into a wealthy and cultured family, who frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting was born at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He traveled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona, he was fascinated by the work of Monet.

Signed and dated in the lower left corner. With label of the Sala Parés. Measurements: 81 x 100 cm; 98 x 117 cm (frame). Togores converts here an everyday and anecdotal subject into an almost magical moment thanks to his ability to endow the elderly with such psychic depth that makes them endearing and close. A melancholic aura envelops the scene. Born into a well-to-do and cultured family that frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis.

    Est: €6,000 - €6,500

    JOSEP DE TOGORES LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970). "Vase". Oil on canvas. Signed. With label of Sala Gaspar on the back. Measurements: 61 x 46 cm; 75 x 60,5 cm (frame). In this painting of youth Togores decomposes the vase in essential forms of Cezannian influence. The poppies, daisies and lilies absorb the colors of the silver background, so that the palette is reduced to grays that turn in glaucous and green ranges next to the red of the poppies. Born into a wealthy family that frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He traveled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona, he was fascinated by the work of Monet. At the age of eighteen he is already an important artist in Barcelona, and in 1913 he is commissioned to decorate the chapel of Anna Girona in Poblet. With a scholarship from the city council of Barcelona, he moved to Paris to study, where he became acquainted with the painting of Cézanne, who would be a decisive influence on his work from then on. In 1917 he meets Picasso, and comes into contact with cubist theories and circles. In the 1920s he began his relationship with the gallery owner Kahnweiler, who would later become Picasso's dealer. He worked exclusively with him between 1921 and 1931, when his painting went through its most experimental period, approaching automatism and surrealism. Under Kahnweiler's guidance he became an enormously successful artist. In 1932 his painting takes a new turn, a return to figuration. He moves to Barcelona and works with a new dealer, Francesc Cambó. During this period he painted many portraits of the most important people in Catalan society, and became one of the most sought-after painters of the time. During the Civil War he moved to France, but returned in 1939, where he continued to work, without having lost any of his prestige. His work is present in the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional del Arte de Cataluña, the Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museo de Arte de Sabadell, the Städtisches Gelsenkirchen Museum (Germany), the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), the Palacio Nacional de Montjuic and the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), among others.

Signed and dated in the lower left corner. With label of the Sala Parés. Measurements: 81 x 100 cm; 98 x 117 cm (frame). Togores converts here an everyday and anecdotal subject into an almost magical moment thanks to his ability to endow the elderly with such psychic depth that makes them endearing and close. A melancholic aura envelops the scene. Born into a well-to-do and cultured family that frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He traveled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona, he was fascinated by the work of Monet.

    Est: €7,000 - €7,500

    JOSEP DE TOGORES LLACH (Cerdanyola del Vallès, 1893 - Barcelona, 1970). "Female nude". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements. 100 x 73 cm; 119 x 92 cm (frame). With this female nude, of modern concept, Togores departs from the pictorial tradition centred on the representation of languid and passive women. The body of this young woman, on the other hand, exposes itself unashamedly, and she even caresses her breast with one hand while pinching her buttock with the other. The smooth, voluptuous carnality has been resolved with the virtuoso technique that characterised Togores's work. Born into a wealthy, cultured family who frequented intellectual circles, his interest in painting began at the age of thirteen, when he lost his hearing due to meningitis. He travelled to France and Belgium, where he discovered the paintings of Rembrandt, and at the 1907 International Art Exhibition in Barcelona he was fascinated by the work of Monet. At the age of eighteen he was already an important artist in Barcelona, and in 1913 he was commissioned to decorate the chapel of Anna Girona in Poblet. With a grant from Barcelona City Council, he moved to Paris to study, where he became acquainted with the painting of Cézanne, who was to be a decisive influence on his work from then on. In 1917 he met Picasso and came into contact with cubist theories and circles. In the 1920s he began his relationship with the gallery owner Kahnweiler, who later became Picasso's dealer. He worked exclusively with him between 1921 and 1931, when his painting underwent its most experimental period, coming close to automatism and surrealism. Under Kahnweiler's guidance he became an enormously successful artist. In 1932 his painting took a new turn, a return to figuration. He moved to Barcelona and worked with a new dealer, Francesc Cambó. During this period he produced a large number of portraits of the most important figures in Catalan society, and became one of the most sought-after painters of the time. During the Civil War he moved to France, but returned in 1939, where he continued to work, without having lost any of his prestige. His work can be found in the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional del Arte de Cataluña, the Getty Museum (Los Angeles), the Museo de Arte de Sabadell, the Städtisches Gelsenkirchen Museum (Germany), the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), the Palacio Nacional de Montjuic and the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), among others.
