Frank Burty Haviland , also Frank Burty or Frank Haviland , (born October 15, 1886 in Limoges , † 1971 in Perpignan ) was an American-French Cubist painter, friend of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and a collector of African art. He signed with "Frank Burty". In later years he was a co-founder and curator of the art museum in Céret .

Live and act

Frank Burty Haviland was the son of Charles Haviland (1839-1922) and Madeleine Burty (1860-1900). His father was the owner of the famous Haviland & Co. porcelain factory in Limoges , and his mother was the daughter of the art critic Philippe Burty . His older brother Paul Haviland was a photographer and art critic.

Burty Haviland was raised strictly according to the Quaker beliefs . After finishing school in Paris, he studied music with Ricardo Viñes , where he met Déodat de Séverac , who introduced him to Manolo Hugué . They became friends and through Manolo they got in close contact with the Cubist painters in Paris. In 1909 he bought Picasso's factory in Horta de Ebro . In 1910 the three friends traveled to the south of France, where Burty Haviland bought a monastery in Céret , which until 1914 became the "École de Céret". It brought together the most important painters of the time such as Pablo Picasso , Juan Gris , Georges Braque , Max Jacob and Auguste Herbin . Burty Haviland married Joséphine Laporta, a young woman from Céret, in 1914.

That year, Burty Haviland was portrayed by Amedeo Modigliani , and it is believed that the 1913 subject The Smoker by Juan Gris also depicts him. Chaim Soutines Le Rouquin from 1917/1919 is also considered his portrait. A bust was created by his friend Manolo Hugué.

In April 1914 he had a solo exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz ' Gallery 291 in New York City. A year later, his work was featured in the first exhibition at Marius de Zayas ' Modern Gallery in New York City, along with works by Picasso, Braque, de Zayas, Francis Picabia, and others. The Modern Gallery presented his work in other exhibitions over the next few years. In November 1917 Burty had a solo exhibition at the Galerias Dalmau in Barcelona and in 1921 at the Brummer Gallery in New York. His later style was more classical and moved away from Cubism.

Burty Haviland spent most of his life in Céret, and together with the painter Pierre Brune (1887-1956) he was the driving force behind the planning of the Musée d'art moderne de Céret in 1948 , which was founded in 1950. He helped to ensure that 14 works by Henri Matisse and 53 by Picasso were donated to the museum by the artists. He worked as the museum's curator from 1957 to 1961. The museum acquired the Burty Archives in 2008, which includes 88 paintings, 727 drawings, and 34 etchings. The museum in Céret showed a retrospective from December 5, 2009 to June 6, 2010.
