Bagaria

Lluis Bagaria i Bou (Barcelona, 1882 - Havana, 1940) one of most important Spanish caricaturists in the first half of the 20th century. His drawings, in a synthetic and decorative style, were published in the most important journals of Spain since 1906 to 1940.

Born in Barcelona, but it was in Madrid where he achieved a great popularity and fame. He published in the journal "El Sol", and drew the covers of "España" magazine. His caricatures against fascism during the war provoked his exile to Paris and into Cuba.
