About the Item
Born in Cuba and raised in Barcelona, Beltrán-Masses’ Spanish roots permeate deeply throughout his work. He learned his craft under the tutelage of the great Spanish painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida at the Barcelona Academy of Fine Arts, and quickly earned the support of the cultural elite in Spain, France, England, and, eventually, the United States. The artist’s unique figural style set him apart from his contemporaries, whose work was by then firmly entrenched into the stark abstract planes of Cubism. He soon emerged as the leading portraitist of society’s elite, a reputation that earned him the friendship of Rudolph Valentino and took him all the way to Hollywood in 1925. Valentino introduced the artist to a crowd of Hollywood elite who soon become both sitters and patrons, including Douglas Fairbanks, Marion Davies, Pola Negri and Joan Crawford. At his height, the artist portrayed celebrities and royals alike from the world over, including Alfonso XIII of Spain, the Shah of Persia, dukes and princesses from around the world, and millionaires as Rothschild and idols of the screen as Pola Negri and Rudolph. This important work is illustrated in Federic Beltrán-Masses: Blue Nights and Libertine Legends, 2012, by G. Stair Sainty and M. Finer.
