A personal friend of Pablo Picasso, whom he met during his formative years in Madrid, Agero shared a studio with the Malaga-born artist in the iconic building known as the \"Bateau-Lavoir.\" The book offers a profound look at his figure, his context, and his artistic production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on the figure of Augusto Agero (Madrid, 1880 - Paris, 1947), a sculptor whose career has been eclipsed by history. The work reconstructs his life and career, placing him within the circle of artists and intellectuals who made up the Parisian avant-garde of the early 20th century. It explores his relationship with Picasso, with whom he shared studios and experiences in the legendary group known as the \"Bande à Picasso.\" Through this research, the artistic and social context of the era is analyzed, as well as Agero's sculptural production, offering a detailed vision of an artist who was a witness and participant in one of the most creative and revolutionary periods of modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of Augusto Agero and his rescue from historical oblivion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSpanish artistic emigration to Paris in the early 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship of friendship and collaboration between Agero and Pablo Picasso.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe creative atmosphere and bohemian life in the \"Bateau-Lavoir.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of sculpture in the context of the historical avant-gardes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the history of contemporary art, especially the period of the Parisian avant-gardes.
