Antoni García Lamolla was a 20th century painter and sculptor who was a member of the ADLAN (Amics de l'Art Nou) group. Important events from his biography, described in Juan Manuel Bonet's Diccionario de las Vanguardias en España, include his first solo exhibition in 1935 at the Centro de Exposición e Información Permanente de la Construcción (Centre for Exhibition and Permanent Information on Construction) in Madrid, which was considered by the writer and art critic Manuel Abril to be "one of the most important surrealist exhibitions that Madrid has seen". It is also worth noting his second solo show, a year later, at the Círcol Mercantil in Lleida and his participation in the Logicofobista Exhibition in Barcelona with six paintings, ??among which "L'espectre de les tres gràcies dins l'aura subtil" stands out. (1935), which is currently part of the collection at the Museu d'Art Jaume Morera in the city of Lleida, together with, among others, "Diari d'un psicoanalista", two of his most successful works. As Bonet reports, the artist went into exile in Dreux, France after the civil war and it was not until 1963 that he began to return periodically to Lleida, the city where he had moved with his family in 1924. The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya has had three of his paintings since 2008. Reference bibliography: - Bonet, Juan Manuel. (1995). "Diccionario de las Vanguardias en España (1907-1936)".
