The son of Spanish emigrants, Rafaél Pérez Barradas spent most of his artistic life in Spain, where he was soon contributing illustrations to the press. In 1913, he traveled in Italy and France, then settled in Condal. In 1928, he decided to return to Uruguay. He died prematurely of an illness. He is considered to have formed part of the Spanish artistic avant-garde at the beginning of the 1920s. Starting in a Post-Impressionist style that was soon influenced by Gauguin, he rapidly lightened his palette and became interested in the Cubist vision of reality while breaking out of the unitary vision of form.

Véronique Filozof arrived in Paris in 1923, but did not begin her career as a painter until the age of 44. She started her apprenticeship with traditional painting, attempting to portray a resemblance of the subject. However, allergic to any artifice such as perspective, and on the advice of the critic Georges Besson, she began to draw in other ways with only a pen and a bottle of Indian ink.
