Title: Cloudy Day School: Catalan School, 20th Century Author: Josep Miquel Serrano (Barcelona, 1912-Sitges, 1982) Style: Post-Impressionist landscape painting with expressionist nuances Technique: Oil on canvas Date: 1932 Circle and influences: Linked to the environment of Catalan landscape painting in the first third of the 20th century. The spontaneous brushwork, chromatic reduction and atmospheric treatment reveal post-impressionist influences, with certain echoes of expressionism in the interpretation of the sky and the coastal landscape. Marina of intimate character depicting a small bay sheltered by an elevating mountain range. Several boats appear anchored on tranquil waters, while the figures and port structures are barely hinted at through rapid and synthetic brushstrokes. The sky, covered by large masses of gray clouds, dominates a large part of the composition and creates a humid and melancholic atmosphere. The palette focuses on gray, ocher, black and earthy tones, animated by discreet reddish accents in the hulls of the small boats. The loose, gestural brushwork gives the scene a notable sense of immediacy. The work appears signed and dated “32” in the lower left corner.
