Presentation

In this significant work on Noucentista art, you will find a collection of the main examples from this period, a relatively unknown era that nonetheless includes many prominent and widely recognized works. The Noucentista movement is, in essence, what has shaped contemporary Catalan culture.

Examples of Noucentista works include Casa Cambó in Barcelona, the Mar i Murtra Gardens in Blanes, Turó Park in Barcelona, the monument to Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer, many houses found while strolling through Sitges, the paintings in the Torres i García Room of the Palau de la Generalitat, the Kursaal Theatre in Manresa, and the ceramics of the Can Culleretes restaurant.

During this period, we witness the confluence of a joint effort between politics and culture. Noucentisme emerged in the historical period of the first third of the 20th century, which determined the cultural, political, and largely social development of Catalonia. It coincides with the affirmation of Catalanism, which intensified particularly with the establishment of the autonomous government of the Commonwealth of Catalonia.
