He is considered as one of the main representatives of surrealism and as one of the most famous painters of the 20th century.On the advice of Joan Miró, he moved to Paris after his studies and joined the group of surrealists where he met his wife Gala. He found his own style from 1929, when he became a full surrealist and invented the paranoid-critical method. Excluded from this group a few years later, he lived the Spanish Civil War in exile in Europe before leaving France at war for New York where he made his fortune and lived for eight years. On his return to Catalonia in 1949, he made a turn towards Catholicism, approached Renaissance painting and drew inspiration from the scientific developments of his time to develop his style towards what he called “corpuscular mysticism”. The themes he tackled most frequently were dreams, sexuality, the edible, his wife Gala and religion. _ ** Ernst Van Leyden (1892-1969): Dutch painter. Until 1914 he studied in the Academies of Fine Arts in Rotterdam, Brussels, Berlin and London. First of all close to expressionism, he did not produce his first abstract work until 1948. From his three workshops in Los Angeles, Venice and Paris, he leads a life made up of incessant travels and friendly encounters with the celebrities of his time: Chaplin, Stravinsky, Brecht, Dali, Picasso ... His travels to Vallauris notably inspired his later work as a ceramicist. His work is recognized and bought by the greatest museums in the world. In the 1950s, he practiced large-format collage in the same spirit as Jasper Johns or Rauschenberg, and applied himself to “revealing the secret life” of the materials he used. Karin van Leyden (1906- 1977) Born in Germany, Karin studied at the "Kölner Werkschule" in Cologne where she was taught by R. Seewald and J. Thorn Prikker. Married to Ernst van Leyden with whom she lived and worked in France, Portugal, Great Britain, Italy, New York, Hollywood and Mexico. The couple will also travel extensively to Egypt, Syria and Lebanon. They also spent a lot of time in Ernst's Parisian studio and in their home on Lake Loosdrecht in Holland. With Ernst, Karin met several of his contemporaries, for example Marc Chagall, Jules Pascin, Ossip Zadkine and Francis Picabia. She exhibited at the Galerie Georges Bernheim in 1929. In 1932, after the birth of their son Ragnar, the young family moved to Rio do Milho in Portugal. In 1947, Karin and Ernst sought new inspiration and left for an extended stay in Mexico, in order to immerse themselves in the ancient Mayan culture. In 1957, after having their final return to Europe, and return trips between Paris and Venice, Ernst bought an abandoned farm outside Paris: Lieutel de L'Enclos. The location turns out to be too isolated for Karin, who cannot paint landscapes there. She prefers Italy, its lifespan and exuberance. After 30 years of creative intimacy, the two artists are therefore taking different paths. From 1953, she worked on oils on canvas then on collages. Karin van Leyden will eventually die in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1977.
