Josep Llorens Artigas<\/strong> (1892-1980) is considered the great reference of artistic ceramics<\/strong> in Catalonia. His name quickly transcended borders and he gained a prominent place on the international scene. At the same time, his companion from youth Joan Mir\u00f3<\/strong> (1893-1983) became our most universal artist over the years. Llorens Artigas\u2019s work is limitless and unmistakable due to its character and uniqueness, as is Mir\u00f3\u2019s, a man who, establishing his roots in the land, in the country and in his time, knew how to project himself to the world through an art as colourful and dreamy as it is rebellious, combative and demanding. By now presenting these two artists and friends in dialogue, this exhibition pays a well-deserved tribute to their contribution both to art and to the artistic spirit of the 20th century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n “This exhibition, with stoneware by Josep Llorens Artigas<\/strong> \u2014from one of the first bowls made in the Charenton-le-Pont workshop in 1927 to vases from the last stage of Gallifa\u2014 and drawings by Joan Mir\u00f3<\/strong> \u2014biomorphic forms, graphics and characters, both from the time of the \u00abassassinat de la pintura\u00bb and the fifties and from the final period of his life\u2014, is a good testimony of the contribution of two great Catalan creators of the twentieth century<\/strong>. Two non-conformist artists that admired and respected each other, and shared struggles and concerns.”<\/em>
