Desolation (Llimona)
''Desolation'' is a 1907 sculpture by Josep Llimona in the collection of the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona.〔(MNAC's website )〕
==Background==
Considered one of the finest sculptors of Catalan Modernism sculpture, Llimona joined the Symbolism movement during the first few years of the twentieth century after a phase in which he had adopted an idealism deeply rooted in his solid religious convictions. Llimona contributed to the founding of the Artistic Circle of Sant Lluc, the intention of which was to preserve art from the excesses of contemporary artists. Female nudes were prohibited in the Circle's initial statutes, but later the prohibition was lifted; Llimona did not depict the female nude until then. It was then that he sculpted ''Desolation'', a work he exhibited for the first time in 1907 and which demonstrates the artist's ability to communicate feelings that reflect a deep humanity through a naked female figure.
''Desolation'', a paradigm of ''Modernisme'' sculpture, magisterially represents the formal traits of Symbolism as adopted by the more outstanding Catalan sculptors of the day. These traits include undulating lines and softened contours, features that derive from ''The Danaide'' by Auguste Rodin. Even so, a notable difference exists between the resigned, melancholic and chaste attitude of ''Desolation'' and the vitality, strength and sensuality of the French sculptor's work. With ''Desolation'', Llimona brought his process of sculptural renewal to a peak while also summing up the Symbolist aesthetic of one of Catalan art's most brilliant periods.〔(MNAC's artwork at their Online Collection )〕
