Frank Burty Haviland

He studied music with Ricardo Viñes, when he met Déodat de Séverac, who introduced him to Manolo Hugué.

The three became friends, and through Manolo Burty got into close contact with the Cubist painters in Paris.

It included some of the most important painters of the time, with Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Georges Braque, Max Jacob and Auguste Herbin.

Burty was portrayed by Amedeo Modigliani in 1914, and is probably also the subject of the 1913 The Smoker by Juan Gris.

When the museum acquired the Burty archive, including 83 paintings and over 700 drawings, in 2008,[6] they held a retrospective exhibition about him from 5 December 2009 until 30 May 2010.
