Emilio Grau-Sala (1911 - 1975) was active/lived in Spain, France.  Emilio Grau Sala is known for Abstract florals-still life, figure and genre painting, stage design, illustration.

Son of the draughtsman Juan Grau Miró, Grau Sala combined his attendance at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts with an essentially self-taught training. In 1930 he held his first exhibition at the Badriñas gallery in Barcelona. At the outbreak of the Civil War, in 1936, he moved to Paris, where he settled in the Montparnasse colony of Spanish artists. That same year he was awarded the first Carnegie Prize.
