In his works, Juan Clara manages to capture emotions in a very realistic
and naturalistic form. They are inspired by everyday experiences, and
appear to have been captured right in motion. The many lovely details of
the mostly children and women depicting sculptures by Clara are typical
of the Art Deco style, even though some features such as modern and
futuristic structures seem to be missing. Juan Clara manages to combine
the future with the past, without sticking to a particular theme, which
makes each of his works individual and special.
Little is
actually known about this outstanding artist. Juan Clara was born in the
North of Spain in the year 1875 and exhibited his works in Paris. There
he for the most part worked together with the Goldscheider foundry and
seems to have been influenced by the culture and artistic movement of
Art Deco. - Kunst & Ambiente
