Painter and engraver, linked to the second generation of Noucentism. He studied at the Escola Superior de Bells Oficis de la Mancomunitat in Barcelona. In 1918, he joined the Agrupació Courbet, an artistic movement which sought to renew the Catalan artistic scene drawing on a base of Noucentism. In the twenties he went to live in Paris and Brittany, and he frequently exhibited his artwork at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris. He returned to Barcelona in 1931, where he was heavily involved in cultural life in the city during the Civil War. His restless spirit led him to Buenos Aires in 1951, and from there on to São Paulo, where he taught engraving at the Fine Arts school and also opened an art gallery. His art derives from an admiration for Picasso and a deep assimilation of Catalan Romanesque art, with a spiritual plasticism that places him in the Catalan avant-garde.
