Sert, José-Maria

A Catalan painter, best known for his monumental murals and his role in Parisian high society.

Short Biography

Sert, José-Maria was born on December 21, 1874, in Barcelona, Spain. He settled in Paris and became a prominent figure in the 'School of Paris' and the European art world. Although his style had a Baroque, decorative monumentality and he did not participate in the avant-garde experiments of Cubism or Dada, his role as a decorator and his network within the cultural elite was important. His work is representative of the more conservative, but luxurious, side of modern art.

Connection to the Book World

As a painter of monumental works, his contribution to illustrated books is modest. However, he did contribute to editions, often as an illustrator of classical or luxurious texts, in a style that reflects his theatrical and historical aesthetic.
