Àngel Codinach i Campllonc

Àngel Codinach i Campllonc , often called Àngel Codinach for short (* 1922 in Olot ; † 1995 ibid) was a Catalan painter who followed the tradition of the Olot School .

Codinach belongs to the generation of artists who, like the Olotens painters Josep Pujol , Pere Plana i Puig or Joan Clapera i Mayà, have brought about an artistic renewal of Olot's landscape painting in a highly creative and innovative manner compared to their predecessors who were committed to classical landscape painting after the Spanish Civil War . Especially in the post-war 1950s and 1960s, Codinach, like many of his painter colleagues, found that there was almost no longer any interest in art. In this environment only those artists “survived” who lived their vocation with great devotion - similar to medieval craftsmen and artists. With highly developed skills and a fully developed aesthetic sense, Codinach's colorful and luminous, meditative landscapes of the Garrotxa were created , which often have the effect of poetry.
