As Barcelona changed around them, modernist artists including Pablo Picasso, Isidre Nonell, and Ramon Casas produced work fueled by and focused on political and humanitarian concerns.   Barcelona 1900 portrays the artistic, cultural, social, and political history of the city at this crucial turning point.\r\n\r\n Featuring more than 192 color and black-and-white illustrations-paintings, sculptures, drawings, and objects of applied art-the book illustrates the development of the modern city, Art Nouveau, and modernism alongside Barcelona's tumultuous social conflicts, the daily life of the middle classes, the anarchist movement, and the anticlerical sentiment of the day. In a series of thematic chapters, Barcelona 1900 explores the city's artistic flowering in all its dimensions: paintings by Picasso, Casas, and Santiago Rusinol  the Art Nouveau jewelry of Lluis Masriera  public and domestic architecture by Gaudi, Domenech, and Josep Puig  posters, advertisements, and other ephemera by Casas and other proponents of modernisme  and works of Catalan literature.   Accompanied by a wealth of historical and contemporary photographs of the cityscape, this book-which also serves as the catalog for a landmark exhibition of the same name organized by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam-invites the reader to promenade along the most remarkable spots in the city, from Las Ramblas, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, and the Palau de la Musica  to Els Quartes Gats, the cafe where Picasso and his friends met  and Parc Guell and Gaudi's Sagrada Familia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
