Els Quatre Gats Poster,Ramon Casas,1899
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 MartÃ,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.
