Pendant
by DURRIO, Paco, Cast silver, 6,5 x 6,2 cm
Durrio is a representative of Spanish Art Nouveau, that is, of an internationally flavoured but nonetheless local version of craftwork. It is revealing that he lived mainly in Paris, where he exhibited his jewellery with great success at the Salon d’Automne in 1904. The elegant line of his creations is without question so full of expressive three-dimensionality that the Catalan inheritance of the artist cannot be denied.
