The 'Golden Age' of Catalonian drawing

The exhibition 'Drawing in the Golden Age: Catalonian artists around 1900' opens in Artur Ramon Art gallery

Barcelona, 01/20/12

The gallery presents a selection of 125 drawings by great masters of Catalonian art from 1850-1950, such as Ricard Canals, Isidro Nonell, Ramón Casas, Mariano Fortuny, Manolo Hugué or Santiago Rusiñol, in an exhibition that gives continuity to the project "L'edat d'Or Catalonian painting" which has occupied the rooms of the gallery in recent months. A representative list of artists of Noucentisme and Modernism which now join other greats from the late nineteenth century.

Notable designs by Mariano Fortuny, Xavier Gosé and Joan Cardona; the essentialism of Manolo Hugué; the goal of realism by Francesc Gimeno; the initial constructivism of Rafael Barradas; the manners of Pichot and Canals; Pau Roig looking through Toulouse-Lautrec and Beardsley Smith; or the first modernist Torres-García, and the Parisian Sunyer along with Decó artist Maria Andreu.

The works comprised in Drawing in the Golden Age: 1900 Catalan artists come from important Spanish collections, most of them shown for the first time to the public. The exhibition will stay at the gallery halls (C / de la Palla, 25) over the forthcoming weeks. A unique opportunity to enjoy the splendor of Catalonian art from the XIXth and XXth centuries.
