“Art lovers pray in front of a painting that they love”

Pere A. Serra Bauzà

A GREAT COLLECTION OF MASTERS FROM THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURIES

Many of the works by the great masters of the 19th and 20th centuries exhibited at the modernist Casa Can Prunera belong to the Pere Serra Art Collection, the soul of this artistic home. A man who loved art, life, and culture.

In the hallways and rooms of Can Prunera, Joan Miró, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Miquel Barceló, Pablo Picasso, Santiago Rusiñol, Paul Gauguin, Giorgio de Chirico, Andreu Maimó, Henri Matisse, Nicolás de Staël, Henry Moore, Hermann Nitsch, Juli Ramis, Aligi Sasu, José María Sicilia, Lin Utzon, and many, many others await your gaze.

In the garden, sculptures by Jaume Mir, Llorenç Rosselló, Enrique Broglia, José Seguiri, Juan Martínez Lax, and José Luis Sánchez give meaning to this way of living, being, and existing in the world.

Thanks to this great collection, Can Prunera has become an essential landmark of contemporary art in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands, because, as Oscar Wilde wrote:

“Art cannot be abandoned, left behind, and then taken up again, for it is essential to life.”

In Can Prunera, we have more than thirty works by Juli Ramis, undoubtedly the mallorcan painter who achieved the greatest worldwide fame during the first half of the 20th century. A unique collection for your enjoyment.

Juli Ramis was born in Sóller in 1909. He was a pioneering painter of great creative genius who revolutionised the concept of abstract and material painting in Spain. In the 1960s he achieved worldwide fame and The Times magazine considered him one of the hundred best painters in the world. He exhibited his works throughout Spain, North Africa, Paris, London and Bordeaux and enjoyed firm friendships with Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris and Joan Miró.

PERE SERRA

The soul of Can Prunera

Pere Serra, solleric, was a man of culture, sensitive gaze and a humanist. In the early fifties, at the age of 27, he bought three drawings by Juli Ramis in Sóller. Nothing foretold that this young man who loved life, art and culture would end up being one of the great Spanish Art collectors.
