Biography\u00a0:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in 1901, the son of Evaristo Rodriguez Br\u00e9a and Antonia Bonome P\u00e9rez, he began working at a very young age in his father\u2019s modest cabinetmaking workshop. Not particularly attracted to this trade, when his father asked him what he wanted to do, he replied: \u201csculptor.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the age of 13, he entered the religious imagery workshop of Jos\u00e9 Rivas, at the foot of the cathedral he admired so deeply, and at 18 he joined the workshop of Enrique Carballido.<\/p>\n

“For he is so, so young, Bonome! Ridiculously young, said a critic who perhaps did not realize that these years of training \u2014 real apprenticeship in a real workshop (one saint a day, quickly, for all the processions, chapels, and devout women of the province) \u2014 are each worth four years – at least – of study in an academy…”\u00a0 Margarita Nelken (Madrid, 1932)<\/em><\/p>\n

In 1924, he moved to Madrid, where he exhibited at the Galician Center, the National Exhibition, and later in La Coru\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

In 1925, at the Galician Center in Buenos Aires, he sold nearly 30 of his works.<\/p>\n

From 1926 to 1927, he exhibited in Barcelona, at the Venice Biennale, then in Monza (Italy), where he met Pirandello, and later in Havana.<\/p>\n

In 1929, he arrived in Paris, where Lucas Moreno and Mendez Casal were waiting for him.<\/p>\n

In 1931, he exhibited at Leblanc-Barbedienne, which would later become his publisher.<\/p>\n

In 1940, he married Simone Grottard, with whom he had two daughters, Jacqueline and H\u00e9l\u00e8ne.<\/p>\n

The Second World War brought a profound change in the artist\u2019s life, leading him to produce decorative cast-iron objects, then to turn toward art ceramics in order to support his family.<\/p>\n

Some of his works can be found in Tokyo, Philadelphia, France, Switzerland, Germany, and of course Spain \u2014 in museums and private collections – including: portraits of the Spanish ambassador Qui\u00f1ones de Le\u00f3n, Manuel Portela Valladares (President of the Government of the Second Spanish Republic in exile in Paris), the great architect Palacios, Valle-Incl\u00e1n, Isabelle Mallet (creator of the \u201cWeek of Kindness\u201d in Paris), painter Nestor de La Torre, the mausoleum of poet P\u00e9rez Lugin, \u201cThe Woman of the Idol\u201d (Georges Pompidou National Center in Paris), \u201cAgriculture and Labor\u201d (Ministry of Labor in Madrid), \u201cCompostellana domu\u201d (Prado Museum in Madrid), \u201cPain,\u201d Joan of Arc\u2026and the renowned Catalan cellist Pablo Casals.<\/p>\n
