Jaume Otero i Camps was born in 1888 in Maó (Menorca) and died in 1945 in Barcelona. He was one of the leading 20th-century Catalan sculptors, known for his elegant modernist works and public commissions throughout Spain. Otero studied at the Escola de la Llotja in Barcelona under Manuel Fuxà, and later continued his training in Paris and Brussels. He received scholarships that allowed him to travel and study in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Italy, experiences that deeply shaped his artistic vocabulary. From 1911 to 1914, he worked in Paris with Albert Bartholomé, whose influence is evident in Otero’s stylized forms and decorative detailing. His sculptural style often emphasized femininity, with a focus on stylization and ornamentation, particularly in the treatment of fabrics, reliefs, and surface textures. ( Bio from AskArt )
