Jesús Carlos de Vilallonga (1927-2018)
Jesús Carlos de Vilallonga was born in Santa
Coloma de Farners, Spain. He studied art in Barcelona, Madrid, Paris
and Rome. In 1958, he signed an exclusive contract with Dr. Max
Stern, owner of the prestigious Dominion Gallery in Montréal, who
was responsible for introducing such artists as Henry Moore, Marino
Marini, Van Dongen and Picabia in Canada. Vilallonga's contract with
the gallery continued for thirty years, until the death of the
gallery owner.
Vilallonga's work has been presented in numerous one man shows
around the world, including the Lefevre Gallery in London, the
Sagittarius Gallery in New York, Galeria Juana Mordó in Madrid, Art
Contemporain in Paris, Dau al Set in Barcelona, Galerie
Debellefeuille in Montréal and a extensive retrospective at the
Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza in California in 2000. Vilallonga's
paintings are the subject of several books and documentaries and can
be found in many major museums, corporations and important private
collections.
After being based in Montréal, Canada for a number of years,
Vilallonga returned to live in Spain where he worked actively in his
studio in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter until his death.
