Spanish born artist Clave fled Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War in 1939, arriving in Paris. Clave would supplement his career as a painter by producing a great deal of illustrations, costume designs and set designs for theater and ballet productions by Ruth Page, Federico Garcia Lorca and others. Clave's period of theater design spanned roughly 1946 to 1954, when he elected to fully devote himself to only painting.
