Born in Barcelona, he trained under his father, the renowned industrial draftsman Josep Fàbregas Bausili.
Ricard was an early prodigy in drawing and, after studying at La Llotja, divided his work between easel painting and drawing applied to the graphic arts. In this latter field, his illustrations for the devotional booklets of the Foment de Pietat Catalana, as well as the advertising for the annual festivities of the Tailors’ Guild, are particularly well known.
During the Spanish Civil War, he created the posters for which he is most recognized.
He died at the age of forty-one, leaving behind numerous examples of his versatility and, above all, his mastery in drawing applied to different media.
