Painting of Sitges by Spanish artist Angel Badia Camps

Picked up this fabulous little oil painting yesterday of Sitges near Barcelona. Painted on canvas and signed Camps we believe its by Spanish artist Angel Badia Camps who was well known in the 1960's as an illustrator for comic books. More can be found on this work at;

Sitges by Angel Badia Camps


The colours on this painting are wonderful and evoke the fishing village Sitges must have been in the 1960's. At the time it was a place that attracted many artists and writers and became a focus for the counter culture against Franco's dictatorship. A marvellous find.
