Laureano Barrau (Barcelona, 1863 - Ibiza, October 21, 1957) was a Spanish painter.
Laureà Manuel Innocenci Barrau i Buñol was born into a large bourgeois family. His father was an industrial engineer who had established commercial businesses in England and began his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he studied with the painter Antonio Caba. Later he moved to Madrid, where he studied the old Spanish masters at the Prado Museum.
In August 1884 ―at the age of 20―, the Barcelona City Council granted him the Fortuny pension, a scholarship similar to the Prix de Rome (which was awarded in Paris), which gave him the opportunity to study for three years at the Eternal city to the great Italian masters. He attended several national and international exhibitions, obtaining several awards. With that money, Barrau traveled to Paris, where he entered the Academy of Fine Arts, making himself known as "Lauréane Barrau." His tutor was the painter Jean-León Gerome (1824-1904). In 1885, already in Rome, he began to send his works as a pensioner of the Barcelona City Council.
Since 1887 he exhibited regularly in the Parés room in Barcelona, one of the most important Spanish galleries of the moment, and the most prominent in Catalonia. That year 1887 "he surprised everyone with his great painting The Surrender of Gerona, in which the rigid formulas of the history painting are animated with a totally unusual palpitation." In 1888 he obtained a second medal at the International Exhibition of Barcelona and a second prize at the Universal Exhibition of Brussels. In 1891 - at the age of 28 - he received the title of partner of the Salon de la Sociedad Nacional de Bellas Artes de Paris. In 1892 he obtained a third medal at the National Exhibition of Madrid and a second prize at the National Exhibition of 1904). He held solo and group exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, New York and Rome. He traveled through Andalusia, and in Seville he painted several pictures with matters of the tobacco factory, taking sketches that he later finished in Caldes d'Estrac (Caldetas), where he had his home.
In 1909 he visited Buenos Aires; and in 1911 he moved his residence to the island of Ibiza.In 1929 he was appointed "society" of the Paris Salons. Around 1930, Barrau and his wife Berta Vallier settled in the Puig de Missa house in the town of Santa Eulalia del Río, where the painter lived until his death. In 1950 he presented his last exhibition at the Sala Busquets (in Barcelona).
He died on October 21, 1957 at the age of 94.
His work is preserved in the Prado Museum, the Getty Museum (in California), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona, his house-museum in Santa Eulalia (Ibiza), and other art galleries in Buenos Aires. Aires, Montevideo, Paris and Rio de Janeiro, as well as various national and international private collections - such as at Casa Masó in Girona.

Note:
We are grateful to Mr. Noé Willer for confirming the authenticity of this work which is recorded in the archives of the Artist.
Painter born in Bordeaux, in 1889 and died in Paris in 1962.
He began painting his mother's portraits very soon.
He studied at the National Superior School of Fine Arts. The artist considered his teacher and inspiring Degas.
Between 1904 and 1907 he joined Fauvism. In 1905 he participated in the "Autumn Hall" and in the "Hall of Independents". In 1907 he presented his 1st individual exhibition at the Vollard Gallery. He specialized in female portraits of Parisian ladies, creating a unique, sophisticated and elegant female portrait prototype that characterized him forever.
He played an essential role in the evolution of women's fashion of his time. He designed numerous dresses, hats and accessories for famous designers such as Paul Poiret and Henry Marque
It goes down in history as the architect of a new type of woman, thin, with an elegant air, always with style, with unusual elongated necks, with impressive slanted eyes, that seem to look at the world in amazement, perhaps because they express a feeling of freedom towards Society and its norms. With these paintings of women, he showed the world the true French, elegant, beautiful and with a gooseneck.
In 1914 he won the Rome Prize.
Many celebrities of the time posed for the artist, Josephine Baker, Brigitte Bardot, etc. But although he painted numerous nude actresses...
