About the Item

JUAN CLARÁ AYATS Spanish, 1878 - 1958 A GIRL SEATED ON A STOOL TYING HER SHOE signed "Juan Clara" and stamped A.G. Paris and marks L.R. 213 (on the stool ) bronze figure 6-3/8 x 3 x 4 inches (16 X 7.5 X 10 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Collector, Madrid A brown patia bronze sculpture of Art Nouveau style, depicting a little girl sitting on a sidewalk tying her shoe. The plasticity that Juan Clará achieves with the bronze when shaping this beautiful little sculpture is wonderful. We notice the effort that the little girl is making to put on her shoe, her gestures and attitudes which moves us and attracts us towards her. 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.
