The ceramist Antoni Cumella (1913-1985) is remembered as "energetic, impulsive, and enterprising." He knew he wanted to be an artist from a young age. He was also known for his loyalty. The critic Alexandre Cirici Pellicer described him as a man "of the kind Caesar wanted around him to avoid the presence of traitors," "lucid, constant, obstinate, faithful." And the critic André Barey asserted that it was necessary to visit him in his studio to witness how he sought "a painful balance between the outside world and his own." "What is important for Cumella is confronting the essential, rejecting conformity and frivolity, never changing the form without having deeply considered the content," Barey said.
