Self-portrait as a Soldier in the People’s Army
Ciutadella, 1896 – Rockbridge Baths, 1976
Pere Daura (1896-1976) was a well-known painter before the Spanish Civil War. He first developed a style rooted in Fauvism and Expressionism, and he later espoused abstraction as a founding member of the group Cercle et Carré (1929-1930) in Paris, together with the Uruguayan painter Joaquim Torres-Garcia and Michel Seuphor. The artist had left for the French capital at the age of 18, but in the early 1930s he settled in the village of Saint-Cirq Lapopie in southern France.If you want to know more about this self-portrait of Pere Daura, click here and you will have access to the Second Canvas guide, where you will find more about the history and details of this work.
