Jose Loygorri (Spanish, 1884-1979). Portada (Cover page). Blanco y Negro magazine cover. 1920.
Art deco illustration by Carlos Saenz de Tejada for Balenciaga, detail, 1930s.
This great painter and illustrator (Tangier, 1897-Madrid, 1958), the son of a diplomat, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. He begins his career as a theatrical figurine maker. In 1925 a fire in his studio destroyed a good part of his work. A year later he moved to Paris. During the Civil War he returned to Spain. The Francoist iconography appropriated his works: his works were manipulated to adapt them to the propaganda of the regime, which stigmatized him for life. (x)
