Daniel Sabater

In 1912 he moved to Paris and painted for the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul], a large number of portraits of the Venerable Mother and St. Vicente, who issued for their Missions in China. He then he received a small pension and returned to Magrid where he spent the first War World, painting for antiquarian miniatures, which experts and dealers attributed to masters of the seventeenth century.

This disappointment motivated his maritime exodus, which would be crowned with great triumphs and a large production distributed among the most important museums and private collections of the American geography.

New York keeps two of his works in the Hispanic-Society pf America. In Cuba, in the National Museum of Havana they have two canvases, in a Gallery are: “Head of Christ”, “We will all be equal”, “The Truth” and “Life and its thorns.” Mexico is the depository also of many of his productions, both in the capital and in most of its important cities; as in Brazil and in Uruguay.

His great capacity and his prodigious creative fertility have allowed his work to also spread throughout Europe and enter the world best collections and museums, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Spain.

The cycle of his hectic life ended on September 27, 1951.
