Federico Beltr�n Masses was a splendid colorist and a prominent representative of

Art Deco movement, one of the first in Spain.
The critics of the time depicted his art �a celebration of paganism and refined
intellectualism�.
The modern artist painted sexy women in chic dresses, in luscious interiors,
decorated with silk and jewels, reviving the magnificent Venetian or Byzantine
splendors.
