Description
Els Quatre Gats (The Four Cats) is a café in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain that famously became a popular meeting place for famous artists throughout the modernist period in Catalonia. The café opened on June 12, 1897 in the famous Casa Martí, and served as a hostel, bar and cabaret until it eventually became a central meeting point for Barcelona's most prominent modernist figures. Ramon Casas i Carbó (January 4, 1866 - February 29, 1932) was a Catalan Spanish artist. As a graphic designer, his posters and postcards helped to define the Catalan art movement known as modernisme. As part owner of a bar Casas engaged heavily in graphic design, adopting the art nouveau style that would come to define modernisme. He designed posters for the café, many of which depicted Romeu's gaunt visage.
