The year 2024 is the centenary of the birth of the sculptor and professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona, Luisa Granero.<\/p>\n

At the age of 16, Luisa Granero entered the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona and to pay for her studies she worked as a model and assistant in sculptors' workshops throughout her career.<\/p>\n

In 1964 she became the first woman in Spain to obtain the chair of modeling and composition at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, future Faculty of Fine Arts and where she taught until his retirement<\/p>\n

She was the winner of the Barcelona City Prize in 1966, a member of the Real Academia de San Fernando (Madrid) and the Real Academia de Santa Isabel de Hungr\u00eda (Seville) since 1969, of the National Sculpture Society (New York) since 1973 and of the Royal Catalan Academy of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi since 2006, among other distinctions and recognitions.<\/p>\n

His work represents a personal reading of the classic canons focusing his gaze on the female figure, often linked to motherhood, through a simple and clean gesture. His sculptural production, made with such diverse materials as terra cotta, plaster, bronze and marble, constitutes an ensemble that has been widely recognized in various museums, as well as public spaces.<\/p>\n

He maintained artistic links with creators such as Ar\u00edstide Maillol, Ernest Santasusagna, Llu\u00eds Muntaner, Jaume Otero or Mart\u00ed Llaurad\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Luisa Granero is a figure that we want and need to vindicate, on the one hand for being the first professor of sculpture in Spain, and, on the other, for having succeeded in materializing her artistic vocation, through a huge artistic production at a historical moment in which the role of women was defined, in general terms, in the family sphere. He thus broke the gender mandate.<\/p>\n

The University of Barcelona maintains a strong commitment to the culture and policies of incorporating the gender perspective in a transversal way, highlighting the contribution of women throughout history in all areas of university life.<\/p>\n

Giving visibility and recognizing the contribution of women to culture from the university level is part of the political will of the University of Barcelona in order to advance in the construction of a more equal society in terms of rights between men and women .<\/p>\n

Granero is a figure who is part of the human heritage of the University of Barcelona and of the country's culture, both in its teaching and artistic aspects, and for her significant contribution in her role as a creative woman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
