ARTIST: ALEJANDRO DE RIQUER (1856-1920) SIZE: 18 7/8 x 51 1/4 in./48 x 130 cm DESCRIPTION: “Starting in 1897, [Riquer’s] posters took on a fully decorative and modernist aspect. They are flat, the female character that appears in them hardly stands out from the background of the mosaic. The influence of Mucha is evident, but de Riquer does not reach the Byzantinism of the Czech, he is less mannered... Salon Pedal [is] perhaps his masterpiece... This extremely original and daring composition, with a very long format is undoubtedly inspired by Japanese kakemonos [or hanging scrolls]: he combines the aesthetics of Japanese xylography based on planes of both graphics and colors but applies the typical modernist floral decoration. For once, the female type is not Pre-Raphaelite, but of very Spanish finesse” (Artes Gráficas, p. 152). Rare! (Art Nouveau; Bicycles)

The decorative pigmented cement tiles were first invented in France in the mid-19th century, but it was a Barcelona company that developed them into an alternative product to natural stones like marble.

While undoubtedly influenced by the style, the Spanish aesthetic of the late 19th century invited a broader integration of the arts. Notice here the influence of Japanese woodblock printing in the layers of floral details that traipse into the scene; the woman's fiery red tendrils and loose dress reference Pre-Raphaelite portraits; the composition and symbolist imagery are a nod to Belgian posterists like Livemont. Ultimately, the design is meant to promote shoe polish: a testament to de Riquer's unique vision, as well as his goal to democratize art by bringing visions such as these to the average people.

ARTIST: ALEJANDRO DE RIQUER (1856-1920) SIZE: 13 5/8 x 28 1/2 in./34.6 x 72.3 cm PRINTER: Utrillo & Rialp, Barcelona DESCRIPTION: The Saint Lluch Artists' Circle was co-founded by de Riquer, Antoni Utrillo, and Joan Llimona, among others, in Barcelona in 1893. They took issue with the anticlerical sentiments in Modernisme, and aimed to bolster Catholic morals, family virtue, and the path of humility pursued by the medieval guilds. This initiative had a large impact on the development of the Catalan noucentisme movement. Here, de Riquer promotes the group's fourth art exhibition with bold typography and sensitive floral details. "The sunflower is contemplated with attentive reverence by a maidrepresented only by her head, covered with a veil trimmed with pearls, and by delicate hands. Everything has a delicious archaic taste and tender femininity... The inclination of the brow accentuates the curls of her hair with a typically modernist play of curves" (Cartellisme Catalunya, p. 24). (Art Nouveau; Spain; Exhibitions)

ARTIST: ALEJANDRO DE RIQUER (1856-1920) SIZE: Each: 22 3/8 x 46 1/4 in./57 x 117.6 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: This is a rare complete set of the Four Seasons by de Riquer. More seldom seen than the equivalent series by Mucha, they are the artist's masterpiece. A letter from the publisher Pierrefort to the artist indicates that the panels were printed on "paper exactly similar to the one used by Mucha for his animated Flowers," and that, because of the intricate detail and shading within the designs, seven instead of six colors would be used in the printing process. The letter continues: "The artist responsible for the lithographic process is not only skilled in the use of colour but is also an excellent designer. He admires your panels very much and will do everything in his power to reproduce them properly. I have additionally agreed to keep an unflinching eye on the process myself. We shall experiment, something that is not easy, given the size of the lithographic stones" (Art Nouveau/Weill, p. 54). (4) (Art Nouveau; Spain)

Thomas, Barcelona DESCRIPTION: De Riquer was the earliest Spanish posterist of note, and, as can be seen from this design for an 1896 exhibition of arts and crafts, he was right up there with contemporary Art Nouveau pioneers, particularly Mucha and Livemont. He studied and traveled extensively in Europe, absorbed the influence of William Morris in England, and became quite versatile at various forms of design in many media. He produced illustrations, prints, ex-libris, and several murals. His posters continue to guide succeeding generations of Spanish graphic artists. This is a two-sheet design.

Writing specifically about this 1900 seasonal panel series, Rogers states that "In Spain, de Riquer has executed some charming decorative panels, which are worthy to rank with the best efforts of Mucha. The set representing the four seasons, of which 'Spring' is undoubtedly the best, are single-figure studies in the open air, and treat the subjects from an original and unconventional point of view" (p. 127). And here is that "best" panel, a dreamy, thought-provoking composition done with such ease that not only is the redhead experiencing the rebirth of the world around her, she is irrefutably an essential part of it. And note the date at the artist's signature in this panel is 1899, while "Winter" is dated 1900, proving that great allegory takes time. Beginning in 1879, the artist traveled widely, from Rome to Paris to London. He became associated with the Arts & Crafts Movement, inspired by William Morris, becoming a prot
