La Catalana

This small sculpture currently located in front of the Tourist Office of Ceret is the work of Manuel Hugué, a Spanish (Catalan) sculptor who participated in the artistic revolution of the twentieth century and was the promoter of the artistic 'movement' with figures such as Picasso and Braque. There is a street named after Hugué ('rue Manolo', no less) and this artist's work was dedicated to French musician Séverac Déodat which helped to rescue from oblivion traditional Catalan music.
