Biography

He was born in Granada[2] on 10 August 1875.[3] In addition to "Tovar", he also signed with the pseudonym "Don Hermógenes".[2] Tovar was described by Mariano Sánchez de Palacios as «one of the most representative figures of the journalistic Madrid of the first quarter-century».[4] The newspaper La Libertad tagged him as "the most popular cartoonist in Madrid".[2]

Manuel Tovar stated in an interview that his education was self-taught, and that one of the artists that more influenced him was Ramón Cilla.[5] Despite of some early collaborations for magazines in Valencia and Barcelona,[6][2] he soon moved to Madrid.[2] Tovar drew caricature portraits, political satire and costumbrismo,[4] and also worked in oil and watercolour painting, though he was less well known in those techniques.[2] His illustrations were published in periodicals like Madrid Cómico, Gedeón, La Correspondencia de Españan, El Liberal, ABC, El Sol, La Voz, La Esfera, Blanco y Negro,[3] Nuevo Mundo, Mundo Gráfico,[4] Buen Humor,[7] El Imparcial, La Hoja de Parra, Gutiérrez, La Risa, ¡Oiga usted...!, Heraldo de Madrid, España Nueva, La Bandera Federal and Don Quijote,[8] .

He was married to Concepción Rodríguez and had two children, Manuel and Conchita.[2] After his death on 10 April 1935,[5][3] Tovar was buried in the cemetery of La Almudena.[2]
