Sculptor of Catalan origin, trained with the sculptor Casanovas, Appel.les Fenosa stayed in Paris between 1921 and 1929, before settling permanently in France in 1939. He began his profession with direct carving, which he gradually left for modelling. During his first stay in France, he became close to the Spanish artists of the École de Paris, befriended Picasso and the writers Cocteau, Éluard and Michaux, whose busts he would later produce. Around 1950, in addition to the surrealist poetry that marked the beginning of his production, he began to search for unity between nature and man's creative gesture. Dancers is one of the most representative works of her art. This sculpture has a vegetal and organic dimension thanks to the play of interlacing formed by the female curves; it also expresses her passion for music.
