Barcelona and Modernity: Gaud\u00ed to Dal\u00ed <\/span><\/strong>
\nOur recent trip to Spain is still percolating through our veins, trying to integrate into a meaningful set of perpectives. One thing is for certain; our entire experience in Spain was influenced by the Modernism movement explored by Barcelona’s artists, architects, and designers in the years between the Barcelona Universal Exposition of 1888 and the imposition of the Fascist regime of Francisco Franco in 1939. The movement was essentially Catalan<\/em> in its roots, and made Barcelona the center of an artistic exploration and expression that continues to resonate across Spain and around the world. Among the late-comers to this Catalan Renaixen\u00e7a<\/em> (Renaissance) were four artists who made lasting global as well as regional impacts: Antonio Gaudi, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali.<\/p>\n

Their influences are discussed in some detail in this description of a special exhibition at the Met in New York back in 2007, Barcelona and Modernity: Gaud\u00ed to Dal\u00ed<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, if you want to learn more about it.<\/p>\n

Everywhere we went in Spain we encountered a different tributary of this Catalan river of creative expression, in the architecture, the art, the music, even the food and the wine (and certainly many of the wine labels<\/em>!). These included in particular visits to several of Gaudi’s structures; the Miro Museum; Picasso Museum; and the Dali Museum (more on those later), as well as some stunning wineries…!<\/p>\n
