Pere (Pedro) Pruna Ocerans (Barcelona, 1904-1977) was a Catalan painter and illustrator of figurative style. In 1920, at only 17 he traveled to Paris. Sebastián Sunyer gave him a letter so he could introduce himself to Pablo Picasso. Under Picasso’s protection, he was very soon introduced in the intellectual and artistic circles of Parisian avant-garde. In 1924 he exhibited with Apel·les Fenosa in the Percier gallery. He was included in the ‘Paris school” and was also a production and costumer designer in Sergei Diagilev Russian Ballets. In 1928 he obtained the 2nd prize of Pittsburgh Institute Carnegie.
Before he enlisted in the military in Spain, he had successfully exhibited his works in Chicago, New York, Amsterdam, and other cities. In 1936 and 1938 his work was shown at the Venice Biennale. After the war, again in Barcelona, he continued to paint from Barcelona’s Sala Parés.
Pruna made mural paintings and other large-size paintings depicting religious subjects. He stayed true to his own style and centered his interest in the portrait, especially in the female figure, in the form of nudes and scenes of mythological inspiration. Pruna also painted some still lifes.

- Emil Bisttram Taos School Transcendental Painter Abstract WatercolorBy James Emil BisttramLocated in Phoenix, AZOutstanding abstract watercolor by Emil Bisttram signed lower right. Painting measures: 20 x 15 inches. Frame size: 27 3/4"h x 23 1/4"w. In excellent condition and beautifully framed. Born in Hungary Emil James Bisttram (1895-1976), studied at the National Academy of Design, Cooper Union and the New York School of Fine and Applied Art in New York City. He later became an instructor at the New York School. In 1930, Bisttram visited Taos, New Mexico for the first time, but found he was blocked from painting by the “grandeur of the scenery and the limitless space.” Instead, he went to Mexico to study fresco painting with Diego Rivera, becoming influenced by the strong realism and sculptured surfaces. One year later, Bisttram returned to Taos, and established the Taos School of Art. His work at the time remained realistic. In the mid-1930s, Bisttram painted under the WPA. By 1938 he founded the Transcendental movement in New Mexico as he turned toward non-objectivity, where paintings were composed of universal, rather than physical, forms. Bisttram did not limit himself to a non-objective style, however, but also painted realistic subjects. Known as a modern Taos painter...Category
