Luis Molné (or Luis Vidal Molné ) painter and lithographer born in Barcelona in 1907 and lived in Monaco where he died in 1970. Friends with Antoni Clavé he belonged to the Catalan school of the twentieth century. Andry-Farcy and Gérald Schurr agreed on the representative term of Spanish Expressionism .
He studied at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, but, with his independent and avant - garde spirit he deserted the academic lessons to work as an autodidact.
The historian Francisco Agramunt Lacruz quotes the name of Luis Vidal Molné - with those of Antoni Clavé, Eduardo Pisano or José Garcia Tella - in what constitutes the history of the artists of Spain linked to that of the republican exile. Coming to France in 1939, Luis stayed successively in Toulouse, Paris (his vision of the French capital is preserved by a series of lithographs featuring the Lapin Agile, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe Etoile ...) and Nice (where he makes a lasting friendship with the sculptor Maurice Gambier d'Hurigny ). The interest aroused in 1945 in France toward the exiled Catalan culture, supported by intellectuals such as Joë Bousquet , Albert Camus , Jean Cassou , Georges Duhamel , Jean-Paul Sartre , Jean Paulhan , Pierre Seghers , Max-Pol Fouchet and Paul Éluard, promotes the birth of a magazine entitled For Catalonia where, returns Geneviève Dreyfus-Armand, a section entitled The Catalan artists seen by the French critics devotes studies among others to Luis Molné (as well as Antoni Clavé or Emile Grau Sala). This movement also has its exhibitions like the one held in n the Altarriba Gallery.
Luis Molné eventualy settles in the Principality of Monaco where he is naturalized Monegasque by princely grace. From then on, besides his work as a painter, he realizes for the Principality theater decorations, ceramic works and lithographs for art editions.
In 1965 Galerie Anne de Francony exhibits the lesser known body of work that she describes as "unusual and surrealist " (exhibition titled Luis Molné, the dream and the unusual ), we can not fail to think, There are similarities in the burlesque cinema of Luis Molné, filial links with the film An Andalusian Dog by Luis Buñuel .
