Born into an aristocratic family closely linked to the world of art and literature, Josep M. de Sucre (Barcelona, 1886–1969) soon began attending the social gatherings of the intellectual cafes of Barcelona, such as Els Quatre Gats, where he coincided with Pablo Picasso and the writer Eugeni d'Ors, among others. He also made friends with Joan Salvat-Papasseit and Joaquín Torres Garcia. This context marked him throughout his career, making him a versatile and well-known figure in the world of Catalan culture. Poet, critic and promoter of major cultural events in the city such as the Saló d'Octubre, he began his artistic career in the late twenties with an exhibition at the Sala Dalmau, Barcelona. Employing an Expressionist language and a certain primitivism, his paintings bridge the transition from Modernisme to the avant-garde, portraying faces with disturbing expressions and a profound nihilism.
Except for a few group exhibitions in the 1920s at Galeria Dalmau, Barcelona, de Sucre's artistic career was developed mostly after the Civil War. In the 1940s and 1950s, he showed at the small Jardín gallery in Barcelona. In 1961, the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, then located in the Cúpula del Coliseum, hosted a retrospective of his work. Since then, he has had retrospectives at Palau Moja, Barcelona (2003), Fundació Arranz-Bravo, Barcelona (2012), and Biblioteca Lambert Mata, Ripoll (2017). His work is part of the collections of Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Museu de Granollers, Fundació Vila Casas, and MACBA, Barcelona.
