Roser Bru

Roser Bru Llop (15 February 1923 – 26 May 2021) was a Spanish-born Chilean painter and engraver associated with the neo-figurative art movement. via Wikipedia

In 1923, she experienced her first exile in Paris, due to the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera , because of the political activities of her father, Lluís Bru , a politician who later became a member of the Catalan Parliament. In 1929, she returned with her family to Barcelona, where her father actively participated in the establishment of the Spanish Republic . Although Roser was still a child, she acquired, thanks to her father, a strong democratic and republican conscience that she would maintain throughout her life and later express in her work. In 1939, after the defeat of the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War under Franco, the Bru family managed to escape, first to France and then to Chile. They arrived in the country on the ship Winnipeg , thanks to the efforts of the then-consul for exile, Pablo Neruda , along with 2,200 other Spanish exiles. They disembarked in September 1939, as World War II was beginning. They were 16 years old. https://roserbru.cl/web/biografia/
