Modern & Contemporary Art
12th October 2019
Two paintings by Catalan artist Carlos Nadal are on display ahead of their sale in the Modern and Contemporary Art Sale on 12th October.
Nadal created paintings that were greatly inspired by the Fauvist artists, particularly Henri Matisse and Raoul Dufy whom he met in his father's design studio. His use of bold expressive colours, strong graphic drawing and tilted perspective echo the distinctive Fauvist style. Nadal's naturalistic and optimistic paintings of cities, seaside scenes and small towns are full of joie de vivre and optimism.
