Museu Nacional d'Art Catalunya: Modernist

The MNAC mixes Modernist painting, sculpture, furniture, etc., pretty freely, which seems appropriate. It was a movement, of sorts, that spilled over every line.
In a display of furniture by Gaudi and his disciple Jujol; Gaudi had few disciples...




Did not get the title or artist, but liked this

Loved this one, too, Ramon Casas' Bull (Dead Horse); note
the matador hiding behind the live horse

Pablo Gargallo, Portrait of Picasso, 1913

Fransesc Masriera, In the Presence of the Lord, 1891;
somehow Klimtish (is that a word?)




















































Dali's portrait of his father, 1925; they did not agree on art

Among the domes at MNAC

Picasso's Woman in Hat and Fur Collar, 1937


Muchas

Age of posters..evaporated milk and absinthe...a popular Spanish drink even today
is Tiger's Milk...milk and gin; seriously

Cointreau for kiddies?

Another Ramon Casas, Ramon Casas and Pere Romeu in a
Motor Car
, 1901

Alas, my favorite Casas was on loan in Madrid

More incredible furniture



Lambert Escaler, Female Bust with Mirror, 1902






Entire rooms...




This space available


Incredible stuff, incredible age...too bad it was such a dead end
