    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Modernist Lady", ca. 1908. Charcoal drawing, pastel and chalk on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Framed in museum glass. Certificates can be issued at the request and expense of the buyer. Measurements: 60 x 45,5 cm, 86 x 75 cm (frame). Casas was the master of modernist drawing in Catalonia, sensual in line and expressive in equal parts, delicate and subtle, endowed with a very special sensitivity. In this work, the draftsman's line becomes precise and hurried in the face, modeling it with delicacy, using a faint play of half shadows that focuses the viewer's attention precisely on him. This is reinforced by the enigmatic expression of the represented woman, who looks directly at us with a soft smile. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernism. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Contemporary Art Museums of Barcelona and Seville, among many others.

Exhibitions: Sitges 2017, "Ramón Casas, the longed-for modernity", La Caixa, reproduced p. no. 92. Measurements: 38.5 x 46.5 cm; 58.5 x 66 cm (frame). In this work, an oil on canvas, Ramon Casas represents a view of the garden of the Molin de La Galette in Montmartre, made during one of the stays of the modernist master in the French capital. Montmartre has been one of the artists' quintessential neighborhoods, a convulsive Parisian corner where the Impressionist style was promoted by Manet, Degas and Whistler. The space is organized in depth on the basis of successive color planes; in the foreground, alternating greens and browns, whose horizontality is enhanced by the row of slender trees that close the space in front, far apart so as not to interrupt the view, with their high cut canopies, reinforcing a completely bright and colorful urban view. An outstanding painter and draughtsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.

Includes certificate of authenticity issued by Adrià Codina, descendant of the heirs of Ramon Casas Carbó. Measurements: 86 x 58 cm; 121,5 x 93 cm (frame). One of the disciplines in which Ramon Casas achieved special renown was poster design, a field in which this work occupies a prominent place in his production. It is the original project for a poster for La Prensa de Chile, in which Júlia Peraire is conceived as an allegorical figure of monumental character, without renouncing the modernist and symbolist aesthetics that defined the artist's career and brought him wide recognition. The composition presents his great muse seated, holding an imposing red flag that invades much of the background and gives the scene an intense visual force and a marked patriotic sense. Júlia wears a classically inspired tunic, with sober and fluid lines, evoking the feminine representations of freedom or the republic so frequent in the allegorical language of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The modeling of the face stands out especially, defined by firm and expressive features that accentuate Júlia's strong personality and make her a fully recognizable image. It is especially significant that the work was executed in 1907, the same year in which Casas painted his famous La Sargantain. As in the canvas kept at the Círculo del Liceo, Júlia Peraire reaffirms here her central role within the painter's creative universe, becoming the iconographic axis of one of Ramón Casas's most technically and expressive mature periods. Far from the commissioned portrait and the mere social representation, the artist places Júlia as the absolute protagonist of the composition, building an image of silent authority and powerful stage presence. A leading figure of modernism and one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time, Ramón Casas developed a decisive career between Barcelona and Paris, with an early presence at the Salon des Champs Elysées. His work is now part of the main public collections -Museo del Prado, MNAC, Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, among others-, confirming his position as an essential reference of modern portraiture and Spanish art collecting between the centuries.

Measurements: 51.5 x 36 cm; 74.5 x 56.5 cm (frame). The one now being auctioned is a previously unpublished poster, never before published, which Miquel Utrillo came to consider one of the best by the artist. This copy is today the only known testimony of this magnificent composition, preserved for decades privately in the artistic collection of the painter's heirs. The image shows a seated woman smoking a cigarette, elegantly dressed according to the fashion of the time in a long blue suit, a fur stole and a short-brimmed hat. In the background is the portrait of Paul Kruger, president of the South African Republic of the Transvaal and emblematic figure of the Anglo-Boer War, a conflict that aroused widespread sympathy in various European circles at the end of the 19th century. The presence of his effigy gives the poster a political and topical dimension, linking the advertised product to the Boer imaginary and to an evocative idea of resistance and international exoticism. The work is fully inscribed within the modernist aesthetics and advertising language that established Ramón Casas as one of the great renovators of Spanish poster design in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It fully combines the characteristics of modernism, visible in the stylized elegance of the female figure, the decorative refinement, the sinuous lines and the careful formal synthesis. Likewise, the composition reflects the modernist taste for cosmopolitan sophistication and the integration between art, design and advertising, essential elements in the poster production of Ramón Casas. A leading figure of modernism and one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time, Ramón Casas developed a decisive career between Barcelona and Paris, with an early presence at the Salon des Champs Elysées. His work is now part of the main public collections -Museo del Prado, MNAC, Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, among others-, confirming his position as an essential reference of modern portraiture and Spanish art collecting between centuries.

Includes certificate of authenticity issued by Adrià Codina, descendant of the heirs of Ramon Casas Carbó. Bibliography: Pèl & Ploma. May 1903. Nº 93. Year IV. Measurements: 48 x 33 cm; 90 x 75 cm (frame). The work now on auction is an extraordinarily singular piece within the artistic imagination of Ramón Casas: in 1902 he made a series of five charcoal drawings in which he represented different models driving automobiles, an extraordinarily modern and unusual theme for the time, especially because of the prominence given to women in relation to the world of motoring. A year later, Lluís Bartrina edited, based on these drawings, a collection of five black and white postcards printed by the Thomas publishing house in Barcelona. Several copies of these postcards are known to have been hand-colored, all different from each other and without following a specific chromatic pattern. For specialists in Casas's work, it is not difficult to recognize in some of these spontaneous colorings the direct intervention of the modernist artist's hand. Following Bartrina's indications, Casas could not apply color to the original drawings intended for the postcards, a limitation that seems to have left the painter with a certain feeling of unfinished work. Years later, taking advantage of his association as director of the magazine Pèl & Ploma, he decided to reinterpret one of those compositions in an imaginary poster of large dimensions (70 × 55 cm), reproducing one of the drawings initially created for the postcard series. The charcoal drawing preparatory to this poster is currently preserved in the Círculo del Liceo in Barcelona and belonged previously to the Viscount of Güell. With this work, Casas created a unique advertising poster devoid of any commercial purpose, where the language of modern posters becomes a purely artistic exercise. The painter made a very small print run, probably only four or five copies, of which only two are known today. Each one presents variations and different chromatic treatments, as if they were independent works. The copy in bidding stands out for being completely colored and retouched, while the other known copy is preserved in the Documentation Center of the Orfeó Català. A leading figure of modernism and one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time, Ramón Casas developed a decisive career between Barcelona and Paris, with an early presence at the Salon des Champs Elysées. His work is now part of the main public collections -Museo del Prado, MNAC, Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, among others-, confirming his position as an essential reference of modern portraiture and Spanish art collecting between centuries.

With labels on the back of Sala Parés and the Caja de Ahorros de Navarra, following a monographic exhibition. Measurements: 92 × 75 cm; 111 × 92 cm (frame). In "Woman in the Cloister", Ramón Casas constructs a scene of great atmospheric refinement, where the female figure is inserted naturally in an architectural space of historical character. The light, filtered through the vegetation, and the range of greens, ochers and earths generate a sensation of recollection that places the work in a more evocative than narrative dimension. The composition shows a mature mastery of the balance between figure and environment. The cloister does not act as a decorative background, but as an active element in the construction of meaning: the vegetation that invades the architecture, the rhythm of the arches and the spatial depth envelop the figure in an introspective atmosphere, in line with a certain symbolist sensibility present in Casas's production beyond his society portraits. From the technical point of view, the work shows a loose but controlled brushstroke, especially visible in the treatment of the foliage and the ground, as opposed to a greater definition in the figure, which directs the viewer's attention without breaking the unity of the whole. This type of pictorial resolution places the work within a moment of plenitude of the artist, when he assimilates the teachings of naturalism and Parisian currents to develop his own language, elegant and contained. The presence of the work in Alfonso Alcolea's catalog raisonné reinforces its relevance within Casas's corpus, as well as its provenance linked to Sala Parés, a fundamental space in the dissemination of Catalan modernism. A leading figure of modernism and one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time, Ramón Casas developed a decisive career between Barcelona and Paris, with an early presence at the Salon des Champs Elysées.

    Est: €500 - €600

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Bullfighting poster, 1913. Lithograph. Measurements: 41 x 20 cm; 45 x 24 cm (frame). Poster announcing the bullfight held in the New Plaza de Toros de las Arenas in Barcelona on Saturday, August 16, 1913. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernism. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona.

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Pel y Ploma", 1902. Poster. Work that has recently been part of the monographic exhibition about the artist: "Orígens: Ramon Casas i Carbó", curated by a descendant of the artist. Measurements: 44 x 33 cm; 69 x 57,5 cm (frame). 100 issues of the literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma" were published between 1899 and 1903. Casas himself financed its edition and was its artistic director and main illustrator, while Miquel Utrillo was in charge of the literary section and Emilio Galcerán was in charge of the administrative part. It was one of the most representative magazines of Catalan modernism, a driving force of this movement and a platform for the dissemination of modern art. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Société d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernisme.

Published in Barcelona on October 21, 1899. Drawing exhibited at the exhibition of the magazine Pèl i Ploma held at the Salon Parés in November 1899. Work that has recently been part of the monographic exhibition on the artist: "Orígens: Ramon Casas i Carbó", curated by a descendant of the artist. The paper of the drawing has been restored. Measurements: 31 x 25.5 cm; 56 x 50 cm (drawing with frame); 37 x 26 cm; 42 x 32 cm (poster measurements). The set that we present is a testimony of the relevance that the magazine Pèl i Ploma had in the modernist society of the beginning of the 20th century, of which Ramon Casas was a fervent illustrator. The literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma" published 100 issues between 1899 and 1903. Casas himself financed its edition and was its artistic director and main illustrator, while Miquel Utrillo was in charge of the literary section and Emilio Galcerán was in charge of the administrative part. It was one of the most representative magazines of Catalan modernism, a driving force of this movement and a platform for the dissemination of modern art. Casas is the undisputed master of modernist drawing in Catalonia. His language is sensual and expressive in equal parts, delicate and subtle, endowed with a very special sensitivity. In this work, his line becomes precise and tight in the face, modeling it with delicacy, using a faint play of half shadows that focuses the viewer's attention precisely on it. The female figure was the protagonist of Catalan modernism; a modern woman, popular or bourgeois Barcelona manola, young and elegant ladies surprised in their moments of leisure, reading, walking or looking at the viewer, melancholic and tempting. The Catalan school of modernist drawing was radically opposed to the decorativist and symbolic of the prevailing Art Nouveau. Realistic and synthetic, it focused its attention on the contemporary urban world and not on the literary symbol. Thus, Ramón Casas and his contemporaries use the same sinuous, moving and deeply expressive line, but the conceptual basis is totally personal and different. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.

Casas 1910". Attached report and certificate issued by Adrià Codina. Measurements: 92 x 65 cm; 113 x 85,5 x 5 cm (frame). Few figures in the history of Catalan art possess the gravitational force of Júlia Peraire, whose presence in this canvas not only consolidates her role as the backbone of Ramón Casas's work, but also defines the technical and expressive zenith of his pictorial maturity. Far from the commissioned portrait or social representation, Casas here places Júlia as the absolute iconographic subject, articulating an image of silent authority and spatial dominance. Formally, the work is sustained by a fully mature economy of means and chromatic solidity. The saturated green of the dress acts as the structural axis of the composition, while the black of the bullfighter frames the figure and projects the flesh tones towards the foreground with remarkable plastic efficiency. In contrast to the more restrained linear drawing of his bourgeois portraits, Casas adopts a free and sketchy brushstroke, especially visible in the background and in the hands, where the stain acquires expressive autonomy and prioritizes atmosphere, volume and presence. This painting should also be understood as a previous version that allows us to follow the evolution of Ramon Casas until reaching the expressive and attitudinal zenith that will culminate in La Sargantain. Although the work is dated 1910, there are data that suggest that it was actually made around 1906, something not unusual for the artist, who on numerous occasions did not date his works until the moment of presenting them or putting them into circulation. This chronology is reinforced by the existence of another work, this one dated 1906, in which Julia appears with the same dress-jacket and a more relaxed attitude, establishing a clear stylistic and temporal link between both compositions and placing this piece within the creative process that would lead shortly after to the iconic image of La Sargantain. Although the artist reduces the electric tension and explicit defiance present in La Sargantain (1907), the figure maintains an absolutely modern pose and an imposing presence. A leading figure of modernism and one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time, Ramón Casas developed a decisive career between Barcelona and Paris, with an early presence at the Salon des Champs Elysées. His work is now part of the main public collections -Museo del Prado, MNAC, Museo Reina Sofía, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, among others-, confirming his position as an essential reference of modern portraiture and Spanish art collecting between the centuries.

We thank Adrià Codina for the verification and cataloguing of the work. Certificate can be issued at the request and expense of the buyer. Measurements: 35 x 31 cm; 60 x 57,5 cm (frame). This delicate drawing is a representative sample of the refined graphic language of Ramon Casas, one of the key figures of Catalan modernism. The work presents an intimate and restrained female portrait, resolved with an economy of means that underlines the artist's sensitivity. Casas constructs the face with a soft and enveloping stroke, combining precise lines with barely sketched areas, which gives the figure an ethereal and elegant presence. The lowered gaze and serene demeanor convey a sense of introspection and melancholy, frequent traits in his female portraits. The hat, treated with a dark, vibrant mass of charcoal, frames the face and balances the composition, while the light accents of color on the lips and clothing add warmth and refinement without breaking the tonal harmony. Ramón Casas is one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time. His early participation in the Sala Parés and, especially, his success in the Salon des Champs Elysées, which earned him membership in the Société d'Artistes Françaises, consolidated his reputation. Since then, he developed an intense activity between Paris, Barcelona and Madrid. Today, the work of Ramón Casas is part of the main Spanish public collections, among them the Museo del Prado, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, the Museo Reina Sofía and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, confirming his position as an essential artist for the collecting of modern Spanish art.

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Female portrait", 1911. Pastel on paper. Presents marks of humidity. Signed and dated in the lower right area. Measurements: 50 x 40 cm. In this female portrait, Ramon Casas demonstrates his extraordinary ability to build an elegant and contemporary image from a simple and direct language. The use of pastel allows him to work with speed and precision, achieving a balance between definition and suggestion, and giving rise to a portrait of great naturalness, fully in keeping with the modernist aesthetic, a movement of which Casas was one of its leading figures, characterized by the synthesis between formal elegance, psychological modernity and intimate sensitivity. From the stylistic point of view, the work is clearly related to the famous drawing that Ramón Casas made of the watercolorist Pepita Teixidor, currently in the collection of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC). Both works show a similar conception of the female portrait. The portrait stands out for the economy of means and the subtlety of the stroke: a refined composition, centered on the bust of the figure, where the artist gives special prominence to the face and the large hat. The chromatic range, dominated by ochre tones, blacks and soft powdered shades, contributes to create a serene and sophisticated atmosphere, very characteristic of Casas' mature production. Ramón Casas is one of the key figures of Catalan Modernism and one of the most internationally renowned Spanish artists of his time. Initially trained in Barcelona, he completed his artistic education in Paris, at the academies of Carolus-Duran and Gervex, and soon became part of the most prestigious exhibition circuits of the French capital. His early participation in the Sala Parés and, especially, his success in the Salon des Champs Elysées, which earned him membership in the Société d'Artistes Françaises, consolidated his reputation.

Provenance: Family of the artist. Outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas begins in painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism.

Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons.

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Coastal landscape". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 45 x 65 cm; 69,5 x 91 cm (frame). This magnificent canvas by Ramón Casas reveals the peaceful soul of a coastal landscape. With only a few elements, the master of Catalan modernism captures the fleeting appearance of the place at a given moment, in the manner of the impressionists, but also goes further by speaking through the calm waters, which reflect the light and vibrate with chromatic nuances with the shadow. In it, it is possible to note the importance of the new Parisian artistic currents, especially impressionism, in the formation of his style. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies.

She commissioned the renowned Modernista architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to renovate it. The Romanesque monastery was in ruins after the Benedictine monks abandoned it as a result of the Mendizábal Disentailment. In 1912, after Elisa's death, the property passed to her son Ramón, who spent long summers there with his family and friends. We thank Adrià Codina for his help in cataloging this work.

Pere Romeu was one of the promoters of the iconic venue ‘Els Quatre Gats’, whose arcade can be seen on the background of the drawing. Ramón Casas was another of the promoters, who paid for the interior decoration of the venue and donated the painting ‘Pere Romeu i Ramón Casas en un tándem’, currently preserved in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. The drawing on the back is probably a sketch for the mural "Sala de las Sirenas" in the dining room of Hotel Espanya in Barcelona, made circa 1902-1903.

Ramón Casas endows this landscape with a great aesthetic richness through the adoption of impressionist techniques. His palette is distinguished by its luminosity and brightness, with a clear prominence of the green of the vegetation in the lower part and the intense blues (cerulean) of the sky. The artist simplifies the figures to elementary geometric schemes, thus achieving a result of double value: decorative and of deep expressiveness. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies.

    Oil on canvas, canvas only dimensions: 74 x 60 cm, framed dimensions: 90 x 75 cm. Exhibited at: "Barcelona i els 4 Gats", Ramón Casas, Gothsland Gallery, 2019. Provenance: from an important private collection in Barcelona. The son of a wealthy family of landowners who emigrated to Cuba, in 1881 he included a sketch of the cloister of the monastery of San Benito de Bages. That same month, accompanied by his cousin Miquel Carbó i Carbó, a medical student, he began his first stay in Paris. That winter he studied with Carolus-Duran and, later, with Henri Gervex. Meanwhile, he worked as a correspondent in the French capital for L'Avenç. The following year he exhibited some of his works at the Sala Parés in Barcelona and in 1883 he exhibited his Self-Portrait Dressed as a Flamenco Dancer at the Sala des Champs-Élysées in Paris. That painting earned him an invitation to join the Salon of the Société d'artistes françaises. For the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, the Spanish committee selected two oil portraits by Casas: an 1891 portrait of Eric Satie and another of Casas's sister, Elisa. His portrait of an execution using The Vile Garrote won one of the top prizes in Munich in 1901. His works were exhibited throughout Europe and in other parts of the world, such as Buenos Aires. In 1902, twelve of his works were permanently displayed at the Círculo del Liceo, an exclusive club associated with the Barcelona opera house. Reference bibliography: Coll Mirabent, Isabel.

Reproduction of the original painting by Ramon Casas, property of Cafés Tupinamba, S.A., commissioned to the famous modernist painter by this firm in 1898 to advertise their café. Ramon Casas was an artist famous for his illustrations and portraits, and specifically in his female portraits both aspects of his work converge, since the female figure constituted the very essence of his posters and illustrations. From the very beginning Casas showed a clear predilection for portraiture, and a special mastery in capturing reality through a language that was totally his own, synthetic, expressive and modern, leaving behind the decorativism and symbolism of the prevailing Art Nouveau. In 1899, when he was only thirty-two years old, he inaugurated an anthological exhibition of his work in Barcelona. This exhibition made known to the public his collection of more than one hundred charcoal portraits of personalities of the time, painted that same year. This exhibition consecrated Casas as the best portraitist of his time, thanks not only to his formal mastery, but also to the perfect psychological description of his models. In this case it is a study that the painter made for the work "First you will pass over my corpse" or "Summer Study", preserved in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.

The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernisme. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona.

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). Original cover for the magazine Pèl i Ploma. Set formed by a mixed technique on paper and a poster. Reproduced on the cover of the magazine nº21. Published in Barcelona on October 21, 1899. Drawing exhibited at the exhibition of the magazine Pèl i Ploma held at the Salon Parés in November 1899. Work that has recently been part of the monographic exhibition on the artist: "Orígens: Ramon Casas i Carbó", curated by a descendant of the artist. The paper of the drawing has been restored. Measurements: 31 x 25.5 cm; 56 x 50 cm (drawing with frame); 37 x 26 cm; 42 x 32 cm (poster measurements). The set that we present is a testimony of the relevance that the magazine Pèl i Ploma had in the modernist society of the beginning of the 20th century, of which Ramon Casas was a fervent illustrator. The literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma" published 100 issues between 1899 and 1903. Casas himself financed its edition and was its artistic director and main illustrator, while Miquel Utrillo was in charge of the literary section and Emilio Galcerán was in charge of the administrative part. It was one of the most representative magazines of Catalan modernism, a driving force of this movement and a platform for the dissemination of modern art. Casas is the undisputed master of modernist drawing in Catalonia. His language is sensual and expressive in equal parts, delicate and subtle, endowed with a very special sensitivity. In this work, his line becomes precise and tight in the face, modeling it with delicacy, using a faint play of half shadows that focuses the viewer's attention precisely on it. The female figure was the protagonist of Catalan modernism; a modern woman, popular or bourgeois Barcelona manola, young and elegant ladies surprised in their moments of leisure, reading, walking or looking at the viewer, melancholic and tempting. The Catalan school of modernist drawing was radically opposed to the decorativist and symbolic of the prevailing Art Nouveau. Realistic and synthetic, it focused its attention on the contemporary urban world and not on the literary symbol. Thus, Ramón Casas and his contemporaries use the same sinuous, moving and deeply expressive line, but the conceptual basis is totally personal and different. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.
