Lluïsa Vidal i Puig (Barcelona, 2 April 1876 – 22 October 1918) was a painter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dbd.cat/index.php?option=com_biografies&view=biografia&id=718 )〕 Raised in a well-off family closely related to Catalan modernist circles, she is known as the only professional women painter of Catalan modernism, and one of the few women of that period who went abroad to receive art lessons. == Biography == Born in the number 13 of Barcelona's Trafalgar street, Lluïsa Vidal was the second of 12 siblings (nine girls and two boys): one of her sisters became Pablo Casals's first spouse, and another one became the wife of the philologist and writer Manuel de Montoliu. Her father, Francesc Vidal i Jevellí, was a cabinetmaker, set designer, and a foundry worker interested in art and business. Lluïsa grew up in an encouraging environment for artistic creations. She received her first lessons from her father, and also from Joan González (Julio González's brother), Arcadi Mas i Fondevila and Simó Gómez. While in Paris, she attended Eugène Carrière's lessons, and she was especially influenced by artists such as Santiago Rusiñol (composition resources) and Ramon Casas (portraits). When she was 16 she visited Madrid with her father and went for the first time to Museo del Prado, where she discovered some Spanish masters such as Francisco de Goya or Diego Velázquez and realised the economic value of a good portraitist.〔, p. 75〕 Her professional career started in 1898, when she was 22 and held her first exhibition at Quatre Gats (Barcelona). It was her first exhibition, and she became the first and only woman to hold an exhibition there,〔 though some researchers doubt she even held an exhibition there in her early years,〔, p. 107〕 as in the early stages of her career she was closely controlled by her father, who was more prone to less bohemian environments than that of Quatre Gats. In April 1898 she exhibited three portraits at the 4th Exhibition of Fine Arts and Artistic Industries in Barcelona. These exhibition held over 2,000 works, some by Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Joan Brull, Joaquim Mir, Ramon Pichot or Arcadi Mas i Fontdevila. She received an honorific mention for one of her portraits, which depicted a priest named Collell. A brief review published in ''La Vanguardia'' mentioned Vidal as one of the best participants, stating that a portrait about a girl in Sitges was so simple and suggestive that could be envied by other male portrait painters.〔 Another review, published in ''Diari de Barcelona'' stated that her portraits were so remarkable that those artworks were recommended as an outstanding example of her abilities.〔 In November 1898 she held her first exhibition at Sala Parés, with the help of her father and Arcadi Mas i Fontdevila. 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「Lluïsa Vidal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
