 <\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/a>As in other years, February is the month of the great painter Antoni Vives Fierro<\/strong>. Just in the middle of the art season! According to Mr. Cabanas, on this occasion Vives Fierro has made a break with the past. The exhibition \u201cClothes hanging\u201d<\/em><\/strong> testifies that Vives Fierro is reinventing himself: beginning from the collages of urban landscapes to dolls and, finally, to rag dolls. Everything has an explanation\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During this inauguration, the painter also presented his book \u201cOlor a trementina\u201d<\/em> (Odor of turpentine): these are the memories of his long art curriculum. He has done more than two-thousand exhibitions, twelve of which have been at the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/a>Mr. Josep M. Cadena<\/strong> also met Antoni Vives Fierro at the legendary Penya (Circle) Punyalada. According to this art critic, the re-generation is a characteristic of the mood of Vives Fierro: \u00abHe has always been regenerating himself!\u00bb. And, precisely today, \u00abhe has done the laundry and now he is busy with \u201cClothes hanging\u201d<\/em>. In fact, at the Rusi\u00f1ol Gallery \u2014in addition to the paintings on the walls\u2014 we can also see drawings hanging from a rope, sustained by the typical clips on the clothesline.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/a>Concerning the rag dolls that we see in most of the paintings of \u201cClothes hanging\u201d<\/em>: \u00abThe personages described are some little beings \u2014they seem child\u2014 who dress and act like older, but through an ironic sense they judge the environment in which they are growing. They are allegories and references of the civil society in which we live and where we are the protagonists\u00bb (from the Josep M. Cadena\u2019s writings).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/a>Antoni Vives Fierro<\/strong> is speaking about his memories: \u201cOlor a trementina\u201d<\/em> (Odor of turpentine). He says that, perhaps, he had written them too early because, since four years up to now, many things have happened (not always positive). Nevertheless, if he had written these pages before, they would have had a dramatic tone. \u00abI have been writing for two year as if they were sabbatical years for my soul. I have remembered people and things. I have redacted spontaneously using only my memory. I have presented this book linked to my exhibitions, accompanying my work!\u00bb.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/a>Among the attendees someone says that he has difficulties in order to accept the evolution of the artist from the urban landscapes to rag dolls. The topic of cities appears again in the debate: \u00abNow I only travel to Paris. But the city I have enjoyed the most is La Habana\u00bb. More than the walls, he was captivated by the mood of the people of that region\u2026 Also the rag dolls have been the topic of some questions: \u00abThey seem childlike figures but actually they are a kind of little monsters: they can be friendly or sinister. They have allowed me to express myself freely\u00bb.<\/div>\n
