Playwright, theatre director, painter and teacher, Adrià Gual studied drawing and painting with Pere Borrell and worked in his father's lithography workshop, which he left in 1901 to devote himself fully to the theatre. As a painter, the influence of his master led him at first to a rigorous realism, although he later joined the postmodernist group of the Colla del Safrà. He took part in the Fine Arts Exhibitions in Barcelona, and as a playwright he founded his own company and directed the Catalan School of Dramatic Art. He is represented at the MACBA in Barcelona, and in 2007 his works formed part of the exhibition "Barcelona and Modernity: from Gaudí to Dali", held at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
