Fundació Vila Casas offers a wide-ranging retrospective on the work of the artist Francesc Domingo i Segura (Barcelona, 1893-São Paulo, 1974). It marks the 50th anniversary of his death and Espai Volart is putting on the exhibition Francesc Domingo. From Sant Just to Sao Paulo through which we can make a broad tour of his work as a whole. Domingo was the catalyst of the Agrupació Courbet, a promoter of the avant-garde and a member of the Catalan School of Paris. Along with Miró and Dalí, his art was part of the Catalan avant-garde. A great admirer of Picasso, Francesc Domingo created a spiritual plasticism resulting from the intimate assimilation of Catalan Romanesque art that would lead to an introspective realism. The artist was a leader of the so-called Catalan revolution that forced him into exile when the civil war broke out. In Sao Paulo, Domingo became part of Brazilian modernism. He died there, never returning to Catalonia.
