Juan Francisco Vidaller (1925) - Pastos de ovejas paisaje

Oil measures 38x46 cm. Frameless. Painter born in 1925. Self-taught. In love with nature, the countryside, the sea and its people have been the main theme of his paintings. On this occasion, they reflect his primordial interpretation of what he has observed for decades in Girona, from its Empordà coast to the Garrotxa Volcanic. Two key points: his predilection for autumnal and marine themes, his sailing boats with the people who crewed them. These are some authoritative opinions: . . . Vidaller is in love with the classics. his painting concretizes reality, seeking the imperishable quality of painting of all time. In his paintings we rediscover the old silence of the countryside, the transparent grass of the waters, the restful path, the boats, the seafarers. . . Molí, Art Critics Association. . . . perhaps the greatness of this artist lies in being unique in the midst of progressive fever. Perhaps it could be, in the conviction that authentic artistic identity depends more on quality than on novelty. . . Rafael L. Pozo. . . . pointing out the flirting will be, for connoisseurs, more than enough to focus his work: Nature, feeling, light, color, weather effects, cloudscapes, distances, countless greens, blues, ochres, siennas. . . all wrapped in warm and serene melancholy, explained everything with a rigorous and clean technique, love and sensitivity. This is the language of this artist. . . . Julien Duffour. Having said this, to show a projection of his work in the years that have elapsed until today, it should only be noted that since 1950 he has exhibited publicly in rooms in a good part of Spain, some in America and Europe, from private collections throughout the world, they have paintings his. That since 1950 in which he participated, in two official competitions (with happy results) he renounced this type of public exhibitions, except those of a charitable nature.
