Pablo Gargallo

Born in Maella, Aragon, he moved to Barcelona, with his family in 1888, where he would begin his training in the arts.

Gargallo developed a style of sculpture based on the creation of three-dimensional objects from pieces of flat metal plate, and he also used paper or cardboard.

He spent a significant part of his life in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris, France.

Together with Dídac Masana, Gargallo sculpted the great arch over the front of the stage of the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona.

He is considered to be one of the most significant artists of the Spanish avant-garde,[citation needed] and in 1985 the Pablo Gargallo Museum in Zaragoza opened in the former Argillo Palace.
