"First Exhibition of the Honorary Artists of the Real Circulo Artistico of Barcelona - Sitges 2011"
2011-03-25 until 2011-04-29
Hotel del Arte Stiges
Barcelona, ,
ES Spain
Closer to hold 130 years of existence of the Real Circulo
Artistico of Barcelona, it would take too long to enumerate all the great artists who have been members of the institution or those that weren’t but have been invited to hold exhibitions at the different centers that along its history the entity has had in the city, in fact, this is
thoroughly explained in the book "First Approach to 125 years of history" by Maria Isabel Marin. The Hotel del Arte Stiges promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com .
All the artists who are part of this exhibition that we are on to open now,
are members of the Circle; they are our honorary members, some of them since
many years ago, and others belong to more recent generations; artists with an
important career, with renowned prestige and each one with his own personality
and style, they are among the best of their time. They have managed to
transmit their emotions through their works and, undoubtedly, they give
prestige to the world of art in our country.
Also included in the exhibit we find the already deceased artists: Jesús
Casaus, Jordi Mercadé, Josep Ma. Morató Aragonés, Alberto Muñoz and Joan
Abelló, who also served as President of the association. And we wanted them to
be part of the exhibition because this idea emerged some years ago with the
desire and hope to one day make an exhibition with them.
So they were promised, and somehow, as far as I’m concerned, I am very pleased
to at last fulfill this commitment on behalf of the Circle. I would, also,
like to make clear that this would not have been possible without the
cooperation and estimable willingness of the owners of the "Art Hotel" in
Sitges, sensitive people and art lovers who have achieved, with their
dedication and effort, to become an artistic reference in Sitges, offering
their magnificent space to, finally, gather together our dear and esteemed
"members of honour", who are for the Circle a pride and satisfaction, apart
from a rich heritage.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the Circle has invited Josep Puigmartí to
exhibit one of his works, who besides being a member of the Institution, is
the artist who does all his work in the "Art Hotel", where he has been living
for years and where he has his studio, giving this magnificent place a
singular original fact that testifies the feeling that those responsible for
the "Art Hotel" have for art and for artists.
