Inscriptions: “OTERO” , at the lower right side.
This head is part of Otero’s production between approximately 1915 and 1920. During this period the artist’s style was a symbiosis of the classical Noucentisme (a Catalan cultural movement at the beginning of the twentieth century) and the decorative Art Deco. (See Ràfols 1920, pp. 109-113).
Jaume Otero was pupil and collaborator of Manuel Fuxà. In 1906 he won an educational grant and left for Paris and Brussels, where he returned a second time thanks to a financial aid from Barcelona City Council. In Paris he collaborated with Albert Bartholomé. |
