Life:
Born in Barcelona
in the year 1861.
After his first studies he worked into the familiar textile businesses, but he
left quick that activity, breaking
with the industrial tradition of his family.
Instead of his initial position as self made man in art, he developed his own technical capacity in the Centre d'aquarelistes de Barcelona
(Water
color Center of Barcelona), he also was a disciple of Tomas Moragas.
After a travel to Paris (1889) where he lived in
Montmartre with Ramon
Casas and with Ignacio Zuloaga, his picture adapted grey tonalities following
the Whistler
manner and influenced by impressionists. His production of
that period are basically landscapes, urban themes, portraits and also Art
Nouveau symbolic compositions.
From 1896 and after a travel to Andalusia, he started to paint gardens.
From his return to Barcelona he was one of the most active developers of Art
Nouveau movement "Els Quatre Gats" joining artists and vanguard
writers.
He also was linked with "L'avenç" a magazine treating
Art Nouveau themes.
The life of Santiago Rusiñol is strongly linked with the
town of Sitges
Rusiñol knew it in 1981 and he was immediately enthusiastic
by this town where he bought a house
to expose his enormous collections of ironforged and glass pieces,
pictures and other objects that today are part of the "Cau
Ferrat Museum". In thesame place he organized the famous
Modernist Festivals.
This enthusiasm of Rusiñol on Sitges was based obviously in the
exceptional natural conditions and beauty of the site, but,
probably, also because the existence in it of an interesting
painters school named "Escola Luminista" - with members
as Joan Batlle i Amell, Felip Massó, Arcadi Mas i Fondevila, Joan
Roig i Soler, Joaquim de Miró and others. (On that school, see
the specific bibliography at the end of
that page).
In addition of his activities as a painter, he also was a reputed writer.
Rusiñol started to write at the age of twenty. His first writings were
nature descriptions and also letters specially
to his future women Lluïsa
Denís. This texts where very important for him, to test with the language
and we found in them some caricature's air. Some of this writings, not to
be published, were nevertheless published in the journal La Vanguardia
reveling the
criticism and irony of Rusiñol.
Lately, during his stay in Paris, he send to the same journal the "Cartas
desde el Molino" (Letters from the
mill) -1890-1892 - where he
depicts de bohemian life in the Moulin de la Galette". This
genre expressed trough letters to the director and literary critiques are
collected in "Impresiones de arte"
- 1897 - including "Desde
una isla" (From an island) - 1893 - , "Desde otra isla (From
another
island) - 1894 - and "Desde Andalucia" (From Andalusia)
- 1895 -.
His highest literary level is developed since de period he translates some
works of Baudelaire influencing his first books: "Anant pel món" - 1896 -, Oracions - 1897 -,
"Fulls de la
vida" - 1898 -, El jardí abandonat - 1900 - and Cigales i formigues -
1901 - linked with the French symbolism.
Rusiñol was
also tempted by the theatre. He wrote various plays with
enormous success like "Els Jocs Florals de Canprosa", "El Pati
blau" - 1903 - and also big series of drams, comedies and vaudevilles,
culminating in 1917 with the theater version of "L'auca del senyor Esteve".
In order to defend the Modernisme (Catalan
Art Nouveau) against his adversaries
of the Noucentisme - movement following the modernisme in
Catalonia - he used the alias of Xarau in his writings in the
magazine "l'Esquella de la Torratxa".
Rusiñol died in Aranjuez - Spain - in 1931.
