Sant Salvador De Guardiola Landscape - Antoni March Salas

Description
Antoni March’s Sant Salvador de Guardiola (1973) captures a luminous Catalan countryside beneath the distinctive silhouette of the Montserrat mountains. Executed with a vibrant, mosaic-like brushwork that merges Post-Impressionist structure with Fauvist color, the scene radiates both harmony and rhythm. Patches of soft yellows, greens, lilacs, and blues create a gently undulating field that leads the eye toward a cluster of rural houses, their terracotta roofs glowing under the Mediterranean light. The artist’s handling of paint—short, broken strokes and a thick impasto—reveals a confident control of tone and texture, balancing geometric precision with lyrical spontaneity. The overall mood is serene yet dynamic, suggesting both the order of cultivated land and the freedom of open air. This work perfectly embodies the Catalan modernist tradition of landscape painting, where light and color become the true subjects of the composition.
