Josep Coll Bardolet (1912-2007) - Dancers Island Of Majorca

Important mixed media work by Josep Coll Bardolet, a Majorcan artist. This work is large-format for an artist of his. Coll Bardolet's works are distinguished by their vibrant energy, and in this particular case, with its depiction of Majorcan customs, they testify not only to his vitality but also to his passion for Majorca and its traditions (he lived in Valldemossa from 1943 until his death in 2007). This work was created between 1980 and 2007, according to the Coll Bardolet Cultural Foundation of Valldemossa.
