2. Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866–1932) was a Catalan Spanish artist.
Living through a turbulent time in the history of his native
Barcelona, he was known as a portraitist, sketching and painting the
intellectual, economic, and political elite of Barcelona, Paris, Madrid,
and beyond; he was also known for his paintings of crowd scenes
ranging from the audience at a bullfight to the assembly for an
execution to rioters in the Barcelona streets. Also a graphic
designer, his posters and postcards helped to define the Catalan art
movement known as modernism.
In 1890s, Casas was one of many artists exercising their artistic
talents around the Moulin de la Galette in Paris. Casas and his
friend, and fellow artist, Santiago Rusinol, constructed several
exhibitions back in their native city of Barcelona, that exhibited
their first-hand experiences of the French culture and art. Over
time, these exhibitions quickly evolved into a center of progressive
painting scenes within the Modernist movement. Casas became a
leading figure in the revival of Catalan culture, and was one of the
first Spanish artists to introduce French Modernisme to Spain in
the late nineteenth-century.

10. Els Quatre Gats, often written Els 4 Gats, was a café in Barcelona which opened on 12 June 1897. It also operated as a
hostel, a cabaret, a pub and a restaurant. Active until 1903, Els Quatre Gats became one of the main centers of
Modernisme in Barcelona.

11. The artist Ramon Casas i Carbó
largely financed this bar on the
ground floor of Casa Martí
(1896), a building by the
architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch
in Carrer Montsió near the
center of Barcelona. Els Quatre
Gats was reconstructed 1978.
Pablo Picasso visited this pub–
restaurant often in his early art
career.

Els Quatre Gats was the inheritor of a
legacy of tertulias and art reunions specific
to Barcelona but also drew inspiration
from the Parisian cabaret Le Chat Noir
