Joan Vilacasas

Joan Vila i Casas, known as Joan Vilacasas (Sabadell, 3 June 1920 - Barcelona, 17 January 2007) was a Catalan painter, engraver, ceramist, writer and collector. Vilacasas is one of the key names of the Catalan informalist generation. Like many other artists of the moment, in 1949, he embarked on his way to Paris in search of his own language that could overcome the devastating panorama and the impoverishing isolation suffered during Francoism period in Spain.
