Biography
J. (JOSEP) SIMONT I GUILLEN
1875 Barcelona (Spain) - 1968 Caracas (Venezuela)
The Spanish artist Josep Simont i Guillén moved to Paris in 1898. A talented portraitist and keen observer of everyday life, he captured the essence of Parisian worldly life, from receptions at the Élysée Palace, theatrical performances, to galas at the Opera. His work is characterized by photographic realism with high technical detail and freshness, which seems to compete with the then-incipient journalistic photography. His work was extensively published in both French and international magazines such as L'Illustration, Le Monde Illustré, The Illustrated London News, and Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung.
