Biography
Miguel Hernandez plies several trades, including hairdressing, before taking part in the Spanish Civil War in forces opposed to General Franco. Imprisoned in France in a concentration camp, he begins to draw at the age of forty-six. Following his release, he sets up a small studio in Paris where he paints in oil. His brightly colored works are populated by figures with wiry limbs and strange faces.Shop
