Alexandre Cardunets i Cazorla
Barcelona (1871) - Badalona (1944)
A member of a humble family, at a very young age he began as an apprentice in a lithography workshop before starting his artistic training shortly afterwards at La Llotja, the Barcelona School of Fine Arts, as a student of the engraver Miquel Campí. He was chairperson of the Cercle Artístic (Artistic Circle, 1921).
As a sketcher, he made a name for himself with a series of drawings of streets and spaces of the old Barcelona that were about to disappear. He also made sketches of views of other cities, such as Toledo and Madrid.
Throughout his career he designed posters and made bookplates (Ex-libris de Joaquim Matas, 1905; MNAC collection), standing out for his creativity and the quality of his compositions.
