  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups). New Banner, Basilica of the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 506 Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Background At the 20th International Conference of Vexillology in Stockholm in 2003, Wladyslaw Serwatowski presented the paper “Was Antonio Gaudí i Cornet (1852–1936) a Vexillographer?” in which he analyzed the vexillological works of the Catalan architectural genius Gaudí.

Modernisme was made pos- sible in Catalonia by the growth of construc- tion through the urban development project of the Eixample (expansion) following a plan by Ildefonso Cerdà. The old walls were demo- lished in 1854, and a new city sprang up. The emerging bourgeoise, enriched thanks in parti- cular to the textile sector, was looking for ways to show off its power. This was a golden age for the architects, the real protagonists of Mo- dernisme, who broadened horizons and excer- cised their skills in other fields.

  • Modernist Movement
    THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE MODERNISMIN ARCHITECTURE AND THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND, CONSEQUENTLY, IN DESIGN, CAN BE CONSIDERED THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTISTIC MOVEMENT IN MODERN CATALAN CULTURE. THE MODERNIST MOVEMENT are not only important as architects but also for their extensive humanistic training. Although Gaudí had the same training, his circumstances were very dif- ferent from those of the others. Our study of this architectural movement must be seen as a debate with the central idea of Gaudí, of whom we spoke in the odernism in architecture and the first issue of this magazine, as a count- sought with faith and courage and industrial arts and, consequently, erpoint to the other two architects, without renouncing the past.

    1 Welcome to Barcelona Obertura 2 We are proud to present a new Barcelona Obertura, Classic & Lyric season, a joint initiative of the Liceu Opera, the Palau de la Música and L’Auditori to promote Barcelona as one of the global cities where classical music matters. When major institutions with such vast history as the three promoters of Barcelona Obertura work together for their city, results are clear: an exceptional season that will help Barcelona gain fame for its excellence in the classical music scene. I want to thank the three institutions for their work and commitment, their directors and teams, as well as Barcelona Turisme. I also want to thank Fundació Banc Sabadell for sponsoring this catalogue. After two years working on the project and various press trips, we have achieved remarkable communication successes - with a dozen appearances in specialized and general international media - and we can say that Barcelona Obertura is contributing to make our city much more attractive and diverse. As a Barcelona Global member, I’m proud of this project and its future.
