Bidspirit auction | Carnivals Signed La Ita, Spanish
Carnivals Signed La Ita, Spanish School, 20th Century - Sanguine on paper. Dimensions: 63 x 48 cm; 101 x 88 cm. An expressionistic composition featuring two folk figures draped in flowing garments with veiled faces, slowly advancing in a scene of strong symbolic and theatrical charge. The main figure holds a staff, while the second is covered in voluminous robes that create a powerful sculptural effect. The monochrome sanguine treatment intensifies the introspective and dramatic atmosphere, reinforcing the textures of the drawing with dense, energetic strokes. The work evokes traditional carnival settings linked to popular rituals and ancestral celebrations, reinterpreted with a modern sensibility akin to 20th-century Spanish graphic expressionism. The volumetric force of the figures and the evocative power of the linear chiaroscuro are particularly noteworthy. 63 x 48 cm.
