Durrio
(1868–1940) Other names: Francisco Durrieu de Madrón Graniè, Francisco José Juan Jorge Luis Durrieu Granier, Paco Durrio Biographical The son of French immigrants (his father was from Saverdun, Ariège, and his mother from Pinsaguel, Haute-Garonne), Durrio was a Spanish sculptor, ceramicist, and goldsmith associated with the Art Nouveau and Symbolism styles. He moved to Bilbao with his family at an early age and began his artistic education in 1878 under the local painter Antonio María Lecuona, who gave him drawing lessons. At the age of thirteen, he enrolled at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios of Bilbao to study sculpture. That same year, he went to Madrid to continue his training, enrolling in the Escuela de Artes y Oficios of Madrid and, in 1883, at the Escuela Especial de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado de Madrid. There, he met the painter Pablo Uranga, and they travelled to Segovia, where they learned the art of ceramics from Daniel Zuloaga. After completing his studies, he briefly returned to Bilbao in 1888 before moving to Paris. He became an active member of the Parisian art scene, forging friendships with Pablo Picasso and Paul Gauguin. He grew particularly close to Gauguin, whom he held in high esteem and who would influence his ceramic and jewellery work. It was through the workshop of the ceramicist Ernest Chaplet that he first became acquainted with Gauguin. Durrio held numerous exhibitions in Paris, and his work was highly praised by critics. Place of birth: Valladolid Place of death: Paris Son of Eugenio Carlos Próspero Durrieu de Madron and Adorine Granier y Vignaux. |
