Stern Pissarro Gallery - Carlos Nadal, Joie de Vivre
Private View: 19 June, 6-8pm - To mark the occasion, Alessandro Nadal, the artist’s son, will give a talk at the opening, offering insight into his father’s life.
Running from 19 June to 26 July, the show gathers thirty works - many never before seen - drawn from an important private collection alongside pieces previously exhibited internationally. Born in Montmartre to Spanish parents, Nadal grew up under the easy camaraderie of the Parisian avant-garde. Frequent visitors to his father’s studio included Braque, Léger, Dufy, Picasso and Utrillo, whose encouragement shaped his earliest paintings. After serving in the Spanish Civil War, Nadal returned to Barcelona, remaining in close contact with Picasso, who continued to mentor the younger artist throughout his career. An eminent critic coined Nadal 'the last of the Fauves' in 1996, a testament to his direct lineage from that radical circle of early-20th-century Expressionists. His work—whether riotous interiors, sun-drenched landscapes or animated coastal scenes—radiates a naïve-expressionist immediacy. Viewers will recognise affectionate nods to Matisse, Léger or Picasso tucked inside his lively salons, yet Nadal’s inimitable palette and sweeping lines deliver pure, unfiltered joy.
