Moved to Paris in 1912 where Picasso, Manolo and Gris were among
his friends. After his return to Barcelona he enjoyed succes
with the objects he made in cut bronze and jewels. In 1924 he
settled once more in Paris where he had a workshop in which
he made large pieces out of thick metal. He created sculptures
for the 1929 World's Fair in Barcelona and for other events
in Barcelona and New York. Gargallo suffered from fulminating
bronchial pneumonia, causing his early death in 1934. His work
ranges from art nouveau to expressionism and cubism. Work: 'Le Prohête' (1933, bronze). Sources • Den Haag Sculptuur 98, Connaissance des Arts, Paris, 1998 |
