exhibition «De Montmartre a Montparnasse. Artistes catalans a París, 1889-1914»

The exhibition «De Montmartre a Montparnasse. Artistes catalans a París, 1889-1914» in Barcelona offers a different look at the influence the French capital had on Catalonia’s artistic evolution in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This period was crucial to the development of movements such as modernisme and noucentisme, which led a prominent group of Catalan artists to settle in Paris, where they found an atmosphere of innovative ideas that influenced the city’s artistic development.

The exhibition brings together works by prominent Catalan painters, sculptors and writers who lived and worked in the emblematic districts of Montmartre and Montparnasse, such as Ramón Casas, Isidre Nonell and Joaquim Sunyer. Through paintings, drawings, posters and historical documents, visitors can appreciate these artists’ influence on Impressionism, Symbolism and Fauvism.

In addition to the works on display, the exhibition includes activities such as lectures and guided tours that enrich visitors’ experience of the exhibition. «De Montmartre a Montparnasse» not only highlights the connection between Catalonia and Paris, but also the lasting legacy of these artists in the history of modern art in the Catalan city.
