Ripollés (1932) - Musico

Engraving by Ripollés, painted and signed by hand on Arches paper, made in his workshop in Mas de Flors, in perfect condition Juan García Ripollés —known as Ripollés—, was born in Alzira (Valencia, Spain) in 1932. The death of his mother during childbirth led him to Castellón La Plana. His early years were not easy: he gathered horse manure, he was a scrap dealer and a house painter with a broad brush, until he left for Paris in 1954. He wanted to be a painter. And that’s where he achieved it. Four years after his arrival, he managed to hang his paintings in the prestigious Drouand David gallery, the same one that had exhibited Picasso and Chagall. Since his return to Spain, in the sixties, his workshop is nature. Today, at 92 years old, it still is: he paints in the orchard of his manor in the small hamlet of Mas de Flors, in the province of Castellón. Over the last five decades, his canvases and prints have been shown in the best galleries and museums in Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo or Beijing. His large-scale sculptures have been installed in parks and in the main streets and squares of Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Lisbon, Venice, Verona, Hertogenbosch.
