Still Life with Bottles and Flasks – Jorge Maragall, 1977

Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard depicting a composition of bottles and flasks, where the simplicity of the everyday subject becomes a pretext for a vibrant and expressive artistic exploration. The work is signed and dated 1977 by the Catalan painter Jorge (Jordi) Maragall. Coming from a prominent Catalan intellectual family — son of politician Jordi Maragall I Noble and grandson of poet Joan Maragall I Gorina — Jorge Maragall nonetheless develops a deeply intimate body of work, nourished by introspection and great creative freedom. Trained in the studio of Ramon Rogent, he developed a personal pictorial language by the late 1950s, where expressionism interacts with a rigorous construction of forms. His universe bears the imprint of masters such as Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka, Giorgio Morandi, and Fernand Léger. In this still life, the artist reveals the full force of his gesture: defined contours, chromatic tension, and living material animate the most modest objects. True to his work, Maragall transforms the everyday into a composition filled with energy and silent poetry. Dimensions of the painting: 46 cm wide - 55 cm high. Dimensions of the frame: 56 cm wide - 65 cm high - 4 cm deep. For any further information and to arrange delivery, please do not hesitate to contact us.
