From the internet: Manuel Martinez Hugué dit Manolo (1872-1945) Manuel Martinez Hugué, also called Manolo, was born in 1872 in Barcelona and in 1900 moved to Paris where he met Picasso. He stayed in the French capital ten years in the course of which he led the life of a miserable vagrant. In these difficult conditions, he wasn’t able to work but he nevertheless made many brilliant acquaintances -Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Léon-Paul Fargue- and visited the Louvre, Cluny, Guimet and Carnavalet Museums. When D.-H; Kahnweiler, a merchant, contracted him, he enjoyed the freedom of working far from Paris in Céret, a small village in French Catalonia. He stayed there from 1910 to 1928. Then, as he suffered from polyarthritis, he moved back to Spain, in Caldas de Montbuy (in the Barcelona region), where he stayed to his death on 17 November 1945.
