Painter, graphic humorist, sculptor and cartoonist. Ramón Monzón's versatility is evidenced by the variety of artistic languages and techniques. On this occasion, we show a painting in which he develops a particular post-cubist concept. In 1952, together with García Lorente and Enric Badía Romero, he founded an academy for teaching drawing by correspondence. He also began to work as an illustrator of sticker albums. In 1949 he did small jobs at Editorial Bruguera under the direction of Mr. Morillas. Around this time, he participated in the development of a cartoon film for the cinema, and thanks to all this he was able to integrate into the industry and strengthen the path in his career as a cartoonist.
