"Noia amb abrigall".
Oil on canvas.
Signed in the lower left corner.

Measurements: 80 x 65 cm.
Joan Cardona was an indispensable figure of the Belle Èpoque aesthetics, contributing to give body to the glamorous aesthetics of the elegant Paris of the decline of the 19th century. This female portrait sums up the best of his production: delicate female figures with delicate features and gestures, wrapped in bright dresses and scarves. Here, the young woman wears a modern hairstyle that contrasts with a certain classicism in her dress. The skilful handling of the glazes makes the flowers of the gauze shawl transparent against the soft flesh tones and pleats of the dress. The woman bows her head, concentrating as she does on adjusting the garment to the level of her torso. His style was unclassifiable, as can be seen in these synthetic touches which partly recall Cezanne but imbue it with a fin-de-siècle sensuality.
Trained at the Escola de Belles Arts de la Lonja and at the Baixeras Academy in Barcelona, he furthered his studies in Paris, where he settled for several years. In the French capital he formed a group with the best illustrators of the time, such as Cappiello, Sem, Steinlen and Roubille. A painter and draughtsman, he developed an important activity in the field of illustration, collaborating with Spanish magazines such as "El Gato Negro" and "Hispania", and in the French magazines "Le Rire" and "Simplicissimus". His collaboration with "Jugend", the flagship magazine of Viennese modernism, the Jugendstil, stands out. During his Parisian period Cardona achieved international fame thanks to his pen drawings, characterised by the sharpness of the line and strong expressive values. On the contrary, in his painting he subordinates line to colour, with warm tones in his early years and cold ranges in his maturity. His paintings, of great expressive force and dense impasto, define the leading role of the woman, who is outlined against vibrant, almost abstract backgrounds, in a style that brings him close to Anglada Camarasa. In 1897 he was awarded a prize in the competition organised by the Mariana Academy of Lleida. He exhibited in Paris at the Salons d'Automne and the Salons de la Societé Nationale, obtaining the title of "societaire" at both. He took part in the International Fine Arts Exhibitions in Barcelona in 1907 and 1929. He is represented in the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris.
