Antoni Clavé i Sanmartí (Barcelona, ​​Spain, April 5, 1913 - Saint-Tropez, France, August 30, 2005) was a Spanish painter, engraver and sculptor.

In 1930 he entered the Barcelona School of Art where he remained for two years. After finishing his studies, he began his work as a poster artist and achieved great success in the world of cinema. He also collaborated in the magazine "Pocholo" (Vives, 1931)

In the 1980s he dedicated a series of works to Picasso under the title A Don Pablo. His latest works are characterized by the recreation of textures within abstraction, with profuse use of papier froissé.

In 1984 the Spanish State recognized his artistic value with the exhibition of more than 100 of his works in the Spanish pavilion at the Venice Biennale. That same year he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
