Born in Guaira de la Melena, Cuba, Federico Beltrán Massés first trained in Joaquin Sorolla's studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona, ??then in Madrid. In 1916, the artist moved to Paris where he lived for almost thirty years. His first Spanish success was achieved at the Venice Biennale in 1920. He acquired an international reputation that led to exhibitions in Buenos Aires, London, New York, Palm Beach and Paris during the 1920s and 1930s. A portraitist to the wealthy and the aristocractic classes, his works are distinguished by their dreamlike and mysterious, often nocturnal style.
Madame Bonnardel, born Countess of Montgomery, lived in an apartment on avenue Malakoff, and her living room quickly became one of the most popular places in Paris in the 1930s, visited by personalities from the world of art, music and fashion and politics. In Vogue magazine of June, 1933, Ms. Bonnardel appeared in evening dress "on a black and pale gray dress by Vionnet, with a supple orange belt, is a wonderful black crepe cape lined with orange, going through the head. Black gloves showcasing Cartier bracelets". The following year, Federico Beltrán Massés will resume the outfit and the pose of this shot by George Hoyningen-Huenede (1900-1968), the respected fashion photographer of the 1920s and 1930s. Beltrán Massés represented Madame Bonnardel in a nocturnal Venice. We would like to thank Antonia Salom de Tord for graciously confirming the attribution of this work after photographic examination and for the information she sent us. This portrait will be included in the catalog raisonné currently under development.
