This artist's proof was part of the Exhibition of the magazine Pèl&Ploma in the Sala Parés in 1899. A photograph of the exhibition is preserved where it is reproduced. In the catalog that was published in the magazine Pèl&Ploma also appears referenced. Measurements: 40 x 32,5 cm; 43,5 x 36 cm (frame). 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.

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.

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). "Granada farmhouse with Sierra Nevada in the background", 1885. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. With label on the back indicating that the work was exhibited at the Anthological Exhibition of landscape painters of Granada in 1962. It has slight damage. Measurements: 35 x 42 cm; 41 x 48 cm (frame). The canvas was painted by Ramón Casas immediately after his stay in Granada between mid-August 1883 and March 1884. Encouraged by his friend the painter Laureà Barrau, Casas went to Andalusia at the age of 19 to capture the light and the characteristic atmosphere of these lands. On this occasion he offers us a rural scene with Sierra Nevada in the background. He uses a style that derives from the innovations of impressionists, with a luminous and bright color, where the warm earthy foreground and orange stand out, and reduces the forms to geometric figures of simple character, achieving an effect that is, at the same time, decorative and highly expressive. 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.

Measurements: 29 x 21 cm; 55 x 47 cm (frame). Drawing made by Ramon Casas for the artistic and literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma", of which 100 issues 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. In this work Casas represents an elegant lady dressed according to the bourgeois fashion of the beginning of the century, with an elegant hat covering her up-do and an umbrella in her right hand. It is an image loaded with instantaneity, typical of the feminine representations of the Catalan school of the end of the 19th century. It combines the formal sensuality of the sinuous and expressive line, typically modernist, with the great realism with which a strictly contemporary image has been captured. It is a work closely linked to the graphic design of the time; the expressive linearity, the sobriety of the colors and the attention to current themes, coincide with the features of the posters and illustrations for magazines. 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.

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.

Poster art was a turning point for advertising in the early 20th century. Due to the great demand, many were the painters who expanded their business to make advertisements for circuses, traveling companies and municipal festivals that visited their cities, as well as advertising for drinks and liquors, perfumes, soaps, cosmetics and other products.

Measurements: 60 x 45.5 cm, 86 x 75 cm (frame). Casas was the master of the modernist drawing in Catalonia, sensual in the 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.

This artist's proof was part of the Exhibition of the magazine Pèl&Ploma in the Sala Parés in 1899. A photograph of the exhibition is preserved where it is reproduced. In the catalog that was published in the magazine Pèl&Ploma also appears referenced. Measurements: 40 x 32,5 cm; 43 x 36 cm (frame). 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.

            RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Cloister of Sant Benet de Bages". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm; 122 x 103 cm (frame). Already in 1881 Ramon Casas, who was then only fifteen years old, published a sketch of this cloister in the magazine "L'Avenç", founded that same year by Jaume Massó. Several years later, in 1909, the painter's family acquired the monastery (which would pass into Casas' hands after his mother's death), and commissioned the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. In this magnificent canvas Casas seems to reveal the hidden soul of the Benedictine monastery, the atmosphere of contemplation, silence and meditation that has survived the passing of the centuries to create a bridge between the ancient monks and the master of Catalan modernism. With just a few elements, Casas captures the fleeting appearance of the place at a given moment, in the manner of the Impressionists, but he also goes further by speaking through the bare walls and floors, through the vaults that reflect the light and vibrate with chromatic nuances with the shadow, of a past of recollection and prayer, which echoes the melancholy end of the nineteenth century. 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.

With "Pèl i Ploma" stamp in the lower right corner. This drawing was conceived as a gift for the subscribers of the magazine. Measurements: 32 x 25 cm; 48 x 41 cm (frame). Drawing made by Ramon Casas for the artistic and literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma", of which 100 issues 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. In this work Casas represents an elegant lady dressed according to the bourgeois fashion of the beginning of the century. It is an image charged with instantaneity, typical of the feminine representations of the Catalan school of the late 19th century. It combines the formal sensuality of the sinuous and expressive line, typically modernist, with the great realism with which a strictly contemporary image has been captured. It is a work closely linked to the graphic design of the time; the expressive linearity, the sobriety of the colors and the attention to current themes, coincide with the features of the posters and illustrations for magazines. 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.

En 1907 la hacendada madre del pintor catalán Ramón Casas, Elisa Carbó i Ferrer adquiere el monasterio de Sant Benet de Bages, cerca de Manresa, para reconvertirlo en una residencia de recreo, encargando su rehabilitación al afamado arquitecto modernista Josep Puig i Cadafalch. El cenobio románico se encontraba en estado ruinoso después de que los monjes benedictinos lo abandonaran como consecuencia de la Desamortización de Mendizábal. En 1912 tras el fallecimiento de Elisa la propiedad recae en su hijo Ramón quien pasa largas temporadas estivales junto a sus familiares y amigos. El enigmático claustro románico se convertirá en un improvisado estudio de pintura donde el artista abandonará momentáneamente los cuadros modernistas para adentrarse en el género del paisaje de manos de su gran amigo Santiago Rusiñol.

            RAMÓN CASAS Barcelona 1866 - 1932 Estudio preliminar para El desembarco de tropas Dibujo a lápiz sobre papel Firmado Medidas 690 x 825 mm El 8 de marzo de 1895 Ramón Casas asiste al embarco de 1482 soldados destinados a reforzar la armada española en la Guerra de Cuba. El pintor barcelonés aprovecha la ocasión para realizar algunos bosquejos que luego plasmaría en la obra El embarque de tropas (óleo sobre lienzo, 90 x 180 cm). La presente obra muestra el retorno de los soldados repatriados al Puerto de Barcelona tras la contienda caribeña, con el semblante triste y cansado, camino a sus cuarteles. Se trata de un estudio previo del artista para la misma ilustración publicada en Pèl & Ploma, el 3 de febrero de 1900.
