Portraits

During this period Anglada-Camarasa also executed a large number of portraits of Parisian women that are notable for their spontaneity and for the forceful, intense presentation of the sitters. While maintaining the rather disquieting aspect characteristic of his female images of this period, Anglada-Camarasa’s portraits of women are less exuberant in nature.

Characterised by very concentrated, heavily charged brushstrokes and by a rich interplay of contrasts of light (clearly derived from the work of Antonio Mancini, who always fascinated Anglada-Camarasa), these works possess a certain complexity due to their intense colouring, emphasised by the direct gaze of the sitters.
