Greyhound

As we have already indicated previously, this stately and elegant dog was part of the beaten lead sheet work Woman with Parasol, 1921, currently unlocated, which is one of the seven pieces - later there would end up being ten, since its author would unfold three of them in two separate and distinct works - made by Gargallo between 1920 and 1923, during what we have called the lead intermediate, which would be the origin of the sculptures modeled in negative, a fundamental innovation with transcendent consequences that began to materialize with the whole of the from which this hieratic and refined animal figure comes from.
