Useful Addresses Tourist Offices Humour and irony, moreover, are constant features of Santiago Rusiñol's entire theatrical output, from L'alegria que passa to his last one-act farce or musical hall number. Even works influenced by Maeterlinck or Ibsen which aim to create a new Catalan drama contain sparks of irony and humour which keep the transcendental at bay and build bridges to the public at large. Rusiñol's alter ego, "Xarau", created in the - early 20th century, cast this same ironical gaze. The articles - he signed in the humorous weekly L'Esquella de la Torratxa (1907-1925) parodied the discourse of Eugeni d'Ors, alias "Xènius", the spokesman of the soberly classical Noucentista L'Auca del senyor Esteve (Ramon Casas-Gabriel Alomar) English RUSINOL movement, who wrote in La Veu de Catalunya. Some of RUSINOL Rusiñol's best known books - Del Born al Plata, L'illa de la calma and Màximes i mals pensaments – arose out of this lengthy collaboration with L'Esquella de la Torratxa. And this same wry humour was used by Rusiñol to create one of the foremost personages of modern Catalan literature, Senyor Esteve, a dull, humdrum small businessman who embodies the bourgeoisie who built modern Barcelona, and modern Catalonia, with all his contradictions and failings, but also with a few virtues. This literary character, later depicted in cartoons by Picarol, was to take on a life of his own and his name has become part of everyday language.

  • 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).

  • Ramon Casas En Nueva York. Sorolla, Zuloaga, Y Huntington
    Publicado en Cuaderno de Sofonisba, 28/04/2017 http://cuadernodesofonisba.blogspot.com.es/2017/04 /ramon-casas-y-archer-mhuntington.html Ramon Casas en Nueva York. Sorolla, Zuloaga, y Huntington Emiliano Cano Díaz Investigador independiente [email protected] Al hilo de la exposición “Tesoros de la Hispanic Society of America” que se celebra actualmente en el Museo del Prado, es oportuno recordar el primer viaje a EEUU del pintor Ramon Casas, y sobre todo su estancia en Nueva York desde mediados de febrero hasta el 20 de Abril de 1909, coincidiendo con las exposiciones individuales de Joaquín Sorolla (8 de febrero al 8 de marzo) e Ignacio Zuloaga (21 de marzo al 11 de abril) en la Hispanic Society de Archer M. Huntington. El viaje de Ramon Casas, que había comenzado el 28 de octubre del año anterior partiendo en barco desde Cherburgo (Francia) se debió, en palabras de su amigo Miquel Utrillo, “a la muerte de su novia, cosa que duraba desde hacía 16 años, del modo que el disgusto ha sido mayúsculo” (Carta a Francisco Valladar. 18/1/1909). La novia de Casas, Emilia Huet i Bas, había fallecido el 10 de septiembre de 1908, y la invitación al viaje provenía de Charles S. Deering, hombre de negocios, coleccionista de arte, admirador de Casas, y amigo también de los afamados pintores John Singer Sargent y Anders Zorn. Así, aunque el viaje supusiera por una parte una válvula de escape para el pintor después de una importante pérdida personal, también presentaba a priori una buena oportunidad profesional en la que darse a conocer al público americano, con la ayuda y complicidad de Deering.

  • The Existential Landscape. on the Geographical Value of the Work of Joan Maragall
    Boletín de la A.G.E. N.º 51 - 2009, págs. 401-404 THE EXISTENTIAL LANDSCAPE. ON THE GEOGRAPHICAL VALUE OF THE WORK OF JOAN MARAGALL Joan Tort i Donada Universitat de Barcelona ON THE IDEAS AND THE THOUGHT OF JOAN MARAGALL A key figure in the Catalan arts, Joan Maragall i Gorina, worked in many registers as poet, journalist, essayist and translator and displayed a prodigious intellect that incorporated successfully, and within the context of his age, the widely differing and complex geographical scales of Europe, Spain and Catalonia. Maragall, a member of the generation of Modernisme (albeit that his inclusion within the Catalan artistic movement has been qualified in a number of senses, see Terry, 2000; Marfany, 1976), worked predominantly in the creative production of poetry. A body of work in which the critics (Fuster, 1976) find significant reflections of Goethe, of Novalis and of Nietzsche –authors whom he translated, as he also translated Homer. Any present-day interpretation and appraisal of the hugely significant, complex intellectual figure of Joan Maragall necessarily requires a consideration of the context of the age in which he lived and worked (that is, the last four decades of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth). Maragall was, moreover, a multifaceted author of an immense curiosity and a very broad range of interests, which means that if we examine him solely in terms of the facet of his literary (and, specifically his poetic) output, we run the risk of oversimplifying our subject. Furthermore, his position as a Catalan intellectual who tackled, both directly and openly and in a manner that was firmly founded on dialogue, the age-old problem of the relationship of Catalonia with Spain makes him an author of great importance when dealing with this question –and not only, I believe, from a historical perspective.

  • RUSIÑOL (Barcelona 1861 - Aranjuez 1931)
    - RUSINOL English Cover - Stately Garden. Raixa II (Majorca, 1902, private collection) SANTIAGO RUSIÑOL (Barcelona 1861 - Aranjuez 1931) The leader of the Modernist movement Santiago Rusiñol was the eldest son of a family of textile manufacturers with a factory in Manlleu and an office on Carrer de la Princesa in Barcelona. At the age of twenty- eight, when he was married with one daughter, he decided to turn his back on middle class life and become a professional painter. The atmosphere created by the Barcelona Universal Exposition of 1888 prompted him, the following year, to set off for Paris. There he took up a Bohemian lifestyle, first in Montmartre and then on the Île Saint-Louis, where he moved in 1895. Rusiñol immersed himself in the intellectual and artistic circles of the city that was then the epitome of modernity and played a key role in importing the new trends into Catalonia and Spain. Towards the close of the century, he frequented the Académie de la Palette, where Pierre Puvis de Chavannes worked, met the musician Erik Satie, became an habitué of Le Chat Noir and Le Mirliton alongside Toulouse- Lautrec, saw Maeterlinck's plays, attended performances at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre and Antoine's Théâtre-Libre, and Reciprocal Portraits (Santiago Rusiñol and Ramon Casas) (c. 1890, Cau Ferrat) observed the new advertising techniques – posters, cafés and newspapers. Rusiñol assimilated all the new aesthetic trends that were emerging in Europe in the wake of the crisis of Positivism and Realism – notably the Decadent facet of Symbolism – and made his own personal interpretation of Zola's Naturalism.

    PRIMEROS DIBUJOS EN PRENSA DEL PINTOR JOAQUÍN MIR PAINTER JOAQUÍN MIR’S FIRST DRAWINGS IN PRESS INOCENTE SOTO CALZADO Universidad de Málaga. España [email protected] Los cuadros del pintor Joaquín Mir, admirados por su cromatismo, tienen su base en un dibujo ejemplar, practicado desde el comienzo de su formación, un período poco estudiado. Al inicio de su carrera profesional recibió una gran influencia de su primer maestro y de su pasión gráfica. La ilustra- ción le sirvió para darse a conocer a través de las páginas de las revistas gráficas de final del siglo XIX, haciendo propios los temas y formas heredados en un corto espacio de tiempo. Se presentan sus cer- canías al pintor Luis Graner y sus primeras publicaciones en Barcelona Cómica y Madrid Cómico, as- pectos no desvelados hasta el momento, junto a un ensayo de hemerografía. Palabras clave: Joaquín Mir; ilustración; Barcelona Cómica; Hispania; Picasso. The paintings by the artist Joaquin Mir, admired by their chromaticism, are based in a exemplary drawing practiced since his formative years, a period little studied. He was greatly influenced by his first teacher and his graphic passion at the beginning of his professional career. The illustration hel- ped to make him known through the pages of the graphic magazines in the end of 19th century, ma- king own the themes and forms inherited in a short time. His proximity to the painter Luis Graner, his first publications inBarcelona Cómica and Madrid Cómico and a hemerographical essay are presented in this paper. These aspects have no been revealed until this moment.

  • Transforming Barcelona: the Renewal of a European Metropolis/Edited by Tim Marshall
    Transforming Barcelona Barcelona is perhaps the European city that has become most renowned for successfully “remaking” itself in the last 20 years. This image has been spread cumulatively around the world by books, television and internet sites, as well as by films and the use of the city in advertisements. This book is about the reality behind that image. It describes how the governors, professional planners and architects, and, in a wider sense, the people of the city and of Catalonia brought about the succession of changes which began around 1980. Transforming Barcelona is made up of chapters by those involved in the changes and by local experts who have been observing the changes year by year. Particular emphasis is placed on the political leadership and on the role of professionals, especially architects, in catalysing and implementing urban change. Other chapters look closely at the way that the treatment of public space became a key ingredient of what has been termed the “Barcelona model”. Critiques of this model consider from two different perspectives — environmental and cultural — how far the generally acclaimed successes stand up to full analysis. The book is fully illustrated and contains an up-to-date bibliography of writings on the city in English. This book will be of particular interest to those studying or practising in the fields of urban regeneration, urban design and urban geography, as well as all those fascinated by the multiple dimensions of the current transformation of older cities. No other book is available in English that provides such extensive understanding of Barcelona from authoritative local participants and observers.

  • Modernism in England and in Catalunya
    Jasmine Lara MERCADO Cristine Paula MARQUEZ Mohamed SULMAN Shazad We investigated about modernism in England and Catalonia. Their differences and similarities and the works of some famous modernists. We also searched the name modernism in other European countries. We learned about works of Gaudi and through pictures we are going to show you some of his works, his relation with Eusebi Güell and his connection with Shakespeare’s work. Modernism is a movement with cultural trends and changes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It includes the activities and creations of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, philosophy, activities of daily life, and even the sciences, social, and political environment of an industrialized world. Modernists were not interested in the present day but they make use of the works of the past Modernism was first evolved in Europe around the 20th century It is equivalent to a number of other end of the century art movements with the names of Arts and Crafts Art Nouveau Jugendstil Sezession Liberty style Modern or Glasgow Style Josep Llimona Ramon Casas Santiago Rusiñol Antoni Gaudi Joan Maragall Lluis Domenech i Montaner Josep Puig i Cadalfach W.

It was dominated by a combination of simple decorated geometric forms and some human and plant forms. On the other hand Catalonia reviewed the history and its own traditions from a society that wants to be modern and cosmopolitan. In the 1890s, architects and decorators relive the past with a medieval flavor.

Quizás la investigación nos conduzca a establecer más distancia o más cercanía entre estos dos prototipos de mujeres tan populares y tan distantes uno del otro. Sirviéndonos de una obra maestra del pintor Ramón Casas, tomando en particular su vida y su obra como hilo conductor del estudio, seremos capaces de analizar en profundidad la mirada que este artista le dedicaba a las mujeres que retrataba y que compartían su vida de cualquier manera.
