Painter and engraver, who got to know Cézanne’s work at a young age thanks to a grant that took him to Paris, the city he returned to after the First World War and where he encountered surrealism and artists such as Max Jacob and Pablo Picasso. In the twenties, he applied the avant-garde styles of the time and his painting oriented towards a cubist-inspired classicism, and the nude female became the main motif in his work. He also began to be recognized internationally at this time. In 1932, having returned to Barcelona, he got to know Francesc Cambó and his work focused on portraits of Catalan high-society of the period.
