Connaught Brown’s upcoming exhibition is its fourth to focus on the sculpture of modern Spanish artist Baltasar Lobo (1910-93).
In his works, Lobo portrayed the female figure and the mother and child, inspired by the primitive forms of Iberian masks and sculptures. Elegant and rhythmic, he showed femininity in a style that ran between figuration and abstraction.
He was among the émigré artists who fled to Paris during the rise of Franco and was an associate of artists such as Pablo Picasso and Jacques Lipchitz.
