Catalan Painting. The Avant-garde is part of the series of major works that Enciclopèdia dedicates to the main movements of Catalan pictorial art. In this case, it focuses on one of its most brilliant periods: from the beginning of the 20th century until 1939.

The Catalan avant-garde contributed great figures to the universal history of art, such as Picasso, Miró, and Dalí, but also many other high-level artists, such as Togores, Torres-Garcia, Barradas… who achieved major prestige in the decision-making centers of European and North American art.

Directed by Doctor Joan Maria Minguet Batllori, Professor of Contemporary Art History at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the book contains texts by the country’s leading specialists and, in addition to updating knowledge about the best-known painters, it champions many other artists who participated in that great cultural revolution: Garcia Lamolla, Ángeles Santos, Joan Massanet, Àngel Planells, Artur Carbonell, or Joan Sandalinas, among others.

The general introduction and specific commentaries on the one hundred and fifty works, arranged chronologically, allow us to know, understand, appreciate, and enjoy one of the most brilliant and universal periods of Catalan art.
