Hermenegildo Anglada-Camarasa (Barcelona, 1871 - Pollença, 1959) was a Spanish painter. n 1894 he moved to Paris, where he adopted a more personal style, after that of Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec, with their depictions of nocturnal and interior subjects. But his work was also marked by the intense colours which presaged the arrival of Fauvism. Lively brushwork reveals strong Oriental and Arab influences. Allied with the Vienna Secession movement, his decorative style draws comparison to Gustav Klimt. He died in Pollença, on the island of Majorca, and is commemorated by a bronze bust on the Pine Walk at Port de Pollença.
