Signed and numbered 47/75 made in 1975 75x56 cm note on the artist: born into a family of industrialists, his father was the businessman and poet josep tharrats I vilà. From 1932 to 1935 he lived in béziers, before moving to barcelona where he studied at the escola massana. The spanish civil war put an end to his studies and he would not resume his artistic career until 1942. His initial style was similar to impressionism, but moved towards abstraction as the influence of piet mondrian and wassily kandinsky became more important to him. From 1946 onwards he used collage techniques. In 1947 it was presented to the artists arnau puig grau, joan ponç, modest cuixart, antoni tàpies, joan brossa and josep vicenç foix at the french institute of barcelona. With some of these artists, he founded the group dau al set, which published the magazine of the same name, printed in his studio.
