7 June - 20 August 2011

Paintings in Yorkshire collections by the Expressionist Catalan painter Carlos Nadal (1917-1998), sometimes referred to as "the last of the Fauves".

Opening Night: Tuesday, 7 June 2011, 6-8pm
In June 2011, the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery in Leeds celebrates summer with a fascinating collection of paintings by Carlos Nadal (1917-1998). The Catalan artist was one of the last ‘Fauvists’ with connections to Picasso, Miro, Magritte, Braque and other major European artists of the twentieth century.

The Gallery at the University of Leeds brings together over 40 paintings and drawings in Yorkshire collections for this seminal exhibition. A range of his favourite subjects will be selected, from rolling green landscapes, lively beach scenes, bold still life and figure studies, or ornate civic buildings – all in executed in his characteristically vibrant colours, wild brushstrokes and naïve style.

The exhibition will be opened by Dame Fanny Waterman on 7 June 2011.
