Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz and Sala Dalmau.<\/p>\n

We met Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz<\/a> in 1982 thanks to a common friend, to whom the artist had asked de delicate task of looking for a gallery in Barcelona. This is how, in an afternoon in the month of March of that year began the relation between Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz and Sala Dalmau; the painter visited us alongside his daughter, Isabel Clara, and we talked about Paris, about Federico Garcia-Lorca, about Picasso, about the Spanish civil war and his exile in Argentina\u2026It was a meeting that made us feel that we were with someone very special. We decided to present a solo exhibition in November 1984, but unfortunately, he passed away before the opening.<\/p>\n

By that time his work was little known in Barcelona, so he was very happy with the idea of showing his work here. The day of the opening we presented the book Rodrigo \u201cMemoria de Granada: Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz-Federico Garc\u00eda-Lorca\u201d (Memories from Granada: Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz- Federico Garcia-Lorca) by Antonina Rodrigo, something that allowed us to highlight his intimate friendship with Lorca and the importance of Granada in his work.<\/p>\n

Since then, the relation between Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz and Sala Dalmau has been a constant. In 1996, beginning from an idea by the Archivo Manuel de Falla<\/a> (Manuel de Falla archive), another close friend of him, we presented his facet as scenographer. In collaboration with said Foundation and the Residencia de Estudiantes\u00a0 from Madrid, we exposed the figurines and sketches that Manuel \u00c1ngeles Ortiz alongside Hernando Vi\u00f1es and Hermegildo Lanz did for Falla\u2019s play \u201cUn retablo para Maese Pedro\u201d that was presented at the palace of the princess of Polignac in 1923. Our exhibition was completed with a small selection of works by the painter.<\/p>\n

In 2001 we presented again a solo show that featured works from the 1920s up to 1980 and that gave special attention to his renowned series such as \u201cPaseo de cipreses\u201d (Cypress path), \u201cAlbaic\u00edn\u201d, \u201cCabezas\u201d(heads), \u201cCabezas m\u00faltiples\u201d(multiple heads), \u201cHomenaje a El Greco\u201d(Homage to El Greco)\u2026<\/p>\n

The link between Manuel Angeles Ortiz and Sala Dalmau has continued over the years through his family and this has allowed us to present very special shows such as \u201cPinturas y objetos\u201d (Paintings and objects) in 2011, that allowed us to show a different side of the artist, the one where he intervened on everyday objects, such as a mirror, a plate or a piece of cardboard, and turned them into works of art, or \u201cLa magia de Granada\u201d (Granada\u2019s magic), in 2016, dedicated exclusively in his series, especially in the ones focusing on Granada.<\/p>\n

Next January we will present his work again in our gallery, this time his small pieces on paper, sketches on where the artist shows his most experimental and intimate side. Centered on his series, these works offer a different side of them and show us the way the artist goes until he reaches the definitive work.<\/p>\n

It was in 1982 when the friendship between Manuel Angeles Ortiz and Sala Dalmau began. And forty years later we want to keep vindicating his work as one of the best and more free artists of the Spanish School of Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
