About the Item

JUAN CLARÁ AYATS Spanish, 1878 - 1958 A GIRL BUST signed "Juan Clara" and Buenos Aires stamp mark (on the back ) bronze figure 6-3/8 x 4-1/8 x 4-1/8 inches (16 x 10.5 x 10.5 cm.) 8 x 4-1/8 x 4-1/8 inches (20 x 10.5 x 10.5 cm.) base included PROVENANCE Private Spanish Collector Art Noveau bronze girl bust with Onix base, signed on the back and with foundry seal. It represents a young girl, with a beanie on her head from which the curls of her hair stand out. Her attitude is naive and fun, and reflects the innocence of a girl that attracts us so much. 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.
