Juan Clará Ayats
"A Girl Sitting on a High Chair" 20th Century Bronze Sculpture by Juan Clará

1920

About the Item

JUAN CLARÁ AYATS Spanish, 1878 - 1958 A GIRL SITTING ON A HIGH CHAIR signed "Juan Clara" (on the back of the chair ) bronze figure 8-3/4 x 7-1/8 x 4-3/4 inches (22 X 18 X 12 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Spanish Collector A young girl sitting on a high chair, with a naughty attitude that wants to escape from the high chair. She is making a great effort to get rid of the bars of the high chair, just as her whole body accompanies her to this effort. The candid and innocent attitude of the girl, but at the same time fun and mocking we love and conquer. Juan Clará Ayats. Olot (Gerona), 6.XII.1875 - Paris (France), II.1958. Sculptor Student of José Berga at the Olot School of Fine Arts, developed his training in France, first at the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse, in 1896, and from 1901 in Paris. At this stage he lived with his younger brother, José Clará, also a sculptor, who also paid part of his studies. It is difficult to specify the works modeled by the two brothers at this initial stage, given their great formal resemblance. All his plastic production was made in France, where he dedicated himself professionally to the modeling of commercial figures, specifically of small format, in any other representation of children's figures. He died in Paris in 1958.
