Description
JOAQUIN VAYREDA VILA (Girona, 1843 - Olot, Girona, 1894).
"The River".1878.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the lower right-hand corner.
Work reproduced in Rafael Benet "La figura patricia y el arte de Joaquin Vayreda", ediciones Aymá, 1943.
Measurements: 50 x 90 cm; 68 x 109 cm (frame).
In this canvas Vayreda captures, with his personal expressive and atmospheric language, an impressionist landscape, of loose workmanship and special luminous sensibility, typical of his mature period. It is a markedly horizontal view, while at the same time it is organised into planes of depth which, however, do not stagger towards the background, but run off to one side following the course of the lagoon. On the surface of the lake, the reflections are resolved with sublime skill, extracting subtle cadences whose harmonic timbres infect the viewer with their lyricism. The border of the wheat field traces a horizontal line that accentuates the perspective in the background. Through this carefully studied composition Vayreda reinforces the three-dimensional impression of the space, and at the same time breaks with the excessive monotony of what would be mere superimpositions of planes. The greens and tans are a hint of the autumn season, and the dense mass of vegetation stands out, opaque, against the clear sky except for light clouds. The composition becomes spontaneous thanks to the zigzag that invites the eye to wander through it, letting the landscape breathe, with a great variety of tones.
Founder of the Olot landscape school, at the age of nine he began his studies under the guidance of Narcís Pascual, then director of the Olot School of Drawing. He moved to Barcelona around 1860 to study philosophy, and there he continued his artistic training in the studio of Ramón Martí Alsina. In 1865 he exhibited for the first time at the premises of the Society of Artists of Barcelona, and the following year he took part in an exhibition at the Sala Parés. In 1869 he founded the Centre Artístic-Cultural in Olot, which became a focal point of renewal and experimentation in the face of official academicism. In 1871 he travelled to Paris for the first time and came into contact with the Barbizon school and the first Impressionists. The outbreak of the Carlist War forced him to go into exile in France in 1872, where he remained for three years. On his return, he resumed the activities of the Artistic Centre, and Olot became a centre of attraction for Catalan painters, drawn by the paintings Vayreda exhibited in the Parés room. Works by Joaquín Vayreda are kept in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the MACBA in Barcelona, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Víctor Balaguer Museum in Barcelona, the Girona Art Museum and the Abbey of Montserrat.
