Lluís Graner i Arrufí, or Arrufat in Spanish (1863 in Barcelona – 1929 in Barcelona) was a Catalonian painter in the Realistic style. == Biography == He studied at the Escola de la Llotja from 1883, with Antoni Caba (color/composition) and Benet Mercadé (drawing).〔Joan-Josep Tharrats, ''Cent Anys de Pintura a Cadaqués''. Barcelona: Parsifal Edicions, 2007, ISBN 84-95554-27-5.〕 During his final year at school, he received a grant to study in Madrid, where he copied and learned from the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado. After that, supported by a fellowship, he moved to Paris and became a member of the Academie des Beaux-Arts.〔(Brief biography: ) @ the Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana〕 Later, he returned to Barcelona, but continued to travel to cities throughout Europe, including Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf.〔"Lluís Graner i Arrufí". L'Enciclopèdia.cat. Barcelona: Grup Enciclopèdia Catalana.〕 Influenced by Richard Wagner's concept of "Gesamtkunstwerk" (Total Work of Art), he was motivated to create his own total art experience and organized the "Sala Mercè" (Mercy Hall) in Barcelona's Rambla District. The project involved contributors from every artistic discipline, including the new field of cinematography. The room was decorated by Antoni Gaudí. Other participants included Adrià Gual, Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, Enric Clarasó, Enric Morera and Enrique Granados. Despite some early public enthusiasm, the endeavor was ultimately a failure and the Hall closed it doors in 1908, after only four years, obliging him to survive by painting portraits for wealthy clients.〔(Joan M. Minguet i Batllori ): "La Sala Mercè: de l'apogeu a la decadència" from Xavier Fabregas: "Lluís Graner i I'aportació del cinema a I'escenografia teatral", ''Aproxirnació a la historia del teatre catalas'', Editorial Curial, Barcelona, 1972〕 In his later years, he left Spain, living successively in Havana, New York and several other places while travelling to Santiago, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.〔 During these years, he lived almost entirely on money sent to him by his friends. He returned to Barcelona in 1928, the year before his death, and held a major show at the Hotel Ritz. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lluís Graner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
