PublicidadRicard Opisso Publicidad CULTURA Inicio sesión Menú 0 Sergi Doria BARCELONA - Actualizado:23/11/2019 20:43h GUARDAR Sitges celebra el 125 aniversario del Cau Ferrat de Santiago Rusiñol y Barcelona revive el sexenio prodigioso de Els Quatre Gats (1897-1903), la taberna que Pere Romeu fundó al estilo de Le Chat Noir de París. Celebración, en este caso, que no remite a aniversario alguno: el Modernismo, antaño tan menospreciado, es hoy en Barcelona una conmemoración perpetua. Erigida sobre el antiguo monasterio de Montesión, la Casa Martí de Puig i Cadafalch albergaría la taberna que Romeu inaugura el 12 de junio de 1897. Con una visión publicitaria avant la lettre, Rusiñol la promociona en un opúsculo de letra gótica que ilustra Ramon Casas. Els IV Gats -con números romanos- se dirige «a las personas de buen gusto; a los ciudadanos de verdad; a quienes, además del alimento para su cuerpo, necesitan alimentar el espíritu». De lo primero -la colación terrenal- no se puede decir gran cosa, pues la oferta culinaria peca de escasa y mediocre; el «Cu-Cut!» satiriza al quijotesco Romeu librándose de sus cuatro gatos: «Ya que no puedo mantenerlos, los llevo a la Catedral, porque allí nadie los inquieta y no se mueren de hambre», reza el pie de la viñeta. Lo segundo -el alimento espiritual- convertirá a Els Quatre Gats en feudo del arte moderno. El 3 de diciembre de 1900, Picasso -algún diario de la época habla de Ruiz Picazzo- organiza su primera exposición y Casas dibuja al carbón a Romeu para el cartel promocional y el anuncio del espectáculo de marionetas y sombras chinescas. LO MÁS LEÍDO EN ABC Cataluña ABC Como explica Jordi Notó en «Els 4 Gats» (Viena-Ayuntamiento de Barcelona), Romeu y Utrillo importaron esos espectáculos de aquel Piden cárcel para dos Chat Noir donde sonaba el piano de Eric Satie: «Tanto marionetas 1 concejales por expulsar como sombras chinescas servían para dos tipos de espectáculos, de los hoteles a medio millar de policías del dirigidos a dos públicos diferentes: el infantil y el adulto… 1-O Independientemente de la técnica y del público también parece que era frecuente escuchar la versión musical de la tonada popular ‘Tururut’, Cataluña impide la 2 venta de alcohol por la interpretada por Albéniz o Granados e, incluso por ambos a cuatro noche y no descarta un manos». Más música. En Els Quatre Gats nació la Asociación «toque de queda» Wagneriana de Barcelona y el guitarrista Tárrega presentó su Serenata El TSJC condena a Española. 3 cuatro ex miembros de la Mesa del Parlamento catalán por desobediencia Si añadimos la carta del menú que dibujó Picasso, a cambio de comer gratis -un bono de 30 comidas salía por 60 pesetas- queda El Ayuntamiento de 4 Barcelona inicia el patente la excelsa dimensión de los «alimentos espirituales» -que no trámite para retirar la los terrenales- de Els Quatre Gats.

  • 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).

  • Christians in Search of Non-Christian Certitudes: Naturism, Spiritualism, Theosophy (From Catalonia to Asiatic Cultures, 1917–1930)

His name was Guillem Rovirosa. Rovirosa studied Management in the Electrical and Mechanical Industries School of Barcelona Industrial University. It was a very interesting Catalan institution that brought together a group of very singular students. As much as possible, I have reconstructed the lives of each member of this group, as well as that of Rovirosa, since 1917, and have observed several affinities among them. They were all people with a deep interest in any technical novelty and shared an important ability to innovate (a great propensity for creativity). Rovirosa was himself an inventor of most diverse types of electromechanical solutions, from mechanical toys to cinematographic projectors and even an electromechanical method to make wines age faster – perhaps much faster – than usual1; his friend Josep Grau was one of the promoters of using X-rays in Spain2.

La darrera dècada del segle XIX ofereix les condicions necessàries perquè l'arquitectura europea trobi una sortida a la crisi que vivia l'historicisme. La insatisfacció davant l'eclecticisme, l'alternativa presentada pel moviment "Arts and Crafts", el nombre creixent d'arquitectes que, cada vegada més, utilitzen els nous materials amb una llibertat expressiva absoluta i, finalment, l'exemple de llibertat creadora i de ruptura amb el passat que donen els pintors, són les circumstàncies que concorren en les complexes manifestacions plàstiques de la fi del segle. Les causes, les dates i els noms són diferents a cada país europeu, però tots tenen un denominador comú. El modernisme abandona la tradició històrica i decideix aprofitar els avantatges que li ofereixen la tècnica i la indústria. A Bèlgica i França va rebre el nom d'Art Nouveau, a Alemanya el de Jugendstil, a Àustria el de Wiener Sezession, el de Liberty a Itàlia, i el modernisme a Espanya.

  • Julio González First Master of the Torch in Dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro
    Julio González First Master of the Torch in dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro González: First Master of the Torch David Smith, ARTnews, February 1956 The Bull in its symbolic action has stood for many things in Picasso’s history, things Spanish and things noble. The Bull has been the artist, the people of Spain, the open-eyed conscience of free men, the disemboweler of the lie of Franco, the aggressive protector of women, and among other symbols, the lover of woman. But after the death of Julio González, Picasso’s friend of forty-five years, the Bull becomes a skull on a green and blue fractioned table before the window curtained in violet and black. Coming home from the funeral Picasso had done this picture of a bull’s skull and dedicated it: “En homage à González.” To the wall of his studio was tacked a snapshot of his friend. For Picasso all source of life becomes the nature of painting. On what peaks did memory ride — for they were friends from youth, from the days of the Barcelona café, Els Quatre Gats. In 1901 Picasso shared González’s living quarters in Paris until he found a studio. Throughout the succeeding years they remained on good terms, visiting each other, even working together; and then, the end at Arcueil in March of 1942. The youngest of four children (the others, his sisters Pilar and Lola, his brother Juan), González was born in Barcelona in 1876. Both Juan and Julio were apprenticed in their fa- ther’s metal shop, becoming third-generation smiths.

  • Picasso Versus Rusiñol
    Picasso versus Rusiñol The essential asset of the Museu Picasso in Barcelona is its collection, most of which was donated to the people of Barcelona by the artist himself and those closest to him. This is the museum’s reason for existing and the legacy that we must promote and make accessible to the public. The exhibition Picasso versus Rusiñol is a further excellent example of the museum’s established way of working to reveal new sources and references in Picasso’s oeuvre. At the same time, the exhibition offers a special added value in the profound and rigorous research that this project means for the Barcelona collection. The exhibition sheds a wholly new light on the relationship between Picasso and Rusiñol, through, among other resources, a wealth of small drawings from the museum’s collection that provide fundamental insight into the visual and iconographic dialogues between the work of the two artists. The creation of new perspectives on the collection is one of the keys to sustaining the Museu Picasso in Barcelona as a living institution that continues to arouse the interest of its visitors. Jordi Hereu Mayor of Barcelona 330 The project Picasso versus Rusiñol takes a fresh look at the relationship between these two artists. This is the exhibition’s principal merit: a new approach, with a broad range of input, to a theme that has been the subject of much study and about which so much has already been written. Based on rigorous research over a period of more than two years, this exhibition reviews in depth Picasso’s relationship — first admiring and later surpassing him — with the leading figure in Barcelona’s art scene in the early twentieth century, namely Santiago Rusiñol.
