    Est: €6,000 - €7,000

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Portrait of the tailor Benito Soler". Charcoal and chalk on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Family origin. Measurements: Benito Soler was an especially active figure in the circle of contertulios dels Quatre Gats in Barcelona. He even participated in the process of founding the venue. His tailor's shop was located nearby, in the current Portal de l'Àngel. Ramon Casas, Picasso, Opisso... and even the owner, Pere Romeu, wore suits made by Soler. Picasso immortalized the tailor and his family in "The Soler Family" (now in the Museum of Modern Art in Liège). Ramon Casas, in this individual portrait, captures with his usual psychological penetration, the awakened character and the frank temperament of the "tailor of the Bohemians", great geniuses then in the making. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernism. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Contemporary Art Museums of Barcelona and Seville, among many others.

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Cloister of Sant Benet de Bages". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner.

    Est: €35,000 - €40,000

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Cloister of Sant Benet de Bages". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm; 122 x 103 cm (frame). Already in 1881 Ramon Casas, who was then only fifteen years old, published a sketch of this cloister in the magazine "L'Avenç", founded that same year by Jaume Massó. Several years later, in 1909, the painter's family acquired the monastery (which would pass into Casas' hands after his mother's death), and commissioned the modernist architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. In this magnificent canvas Casas seems to reveal the hidden soul of the Benedictine monastery, the atmosphere of contemplation, silence and meditation that has survived the passing of the centuries to create a bridge between the ancient monks and the master of Catalan modernism. With just a few elements, Casas captures the fleeting appearance of the place at a given moment, in the manner of the Impressionists, but he also goes further by speaking through the bare walls and floors, through the vaults that reflect the light and vibrate with chromatic nuances with the shadow, of a past of recollection and prayer, which echoes the melancholy end of the nineteenth century. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Lady. Oil on canvas. Attached certificate issued by Don Marcial Barrachina Ramoneda. It has informative label on the back of Barrachina & Ramoneda. It has slight losses of the pictorial layer on one side. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements. 77,5 x 66 cm; 105,5 x 92,5 cm (frame). This painting by Ramon Casas presents us with a female representation of great subtlety and magnetism, in which the artist manages to capture the beauty and sensuality of the model with an unmistakable elegance. The woman, with an enigmatic gaze and serene expression, holds a light shawl with floral motifs that barely covers her torso, suggesting more than it shows. Her pose, with one arm bent at the waist and the other holding the cloth, reinforces her confidence and attractiveness, making her a captivating presence within the composition. This portrait is part of one of the recurring themes in Casas's work: the femme fatale. Influenced by modernist aesthetics and symbolism, the Catalan painter frequently explored the image of the woman as a powerful and seductive being, charged with mystery and independence. In his female portraits, Casas not only reflects the physical beauty of his models, but also endows them with a psychological aura that makes them even more fascinating. In this particular painting, the model, with her aloof attitude and deliberately slow pose, embodies that idea of the modern woman, self-confident and with an irresistible air of sophistication. Casas employs a refined play of light and shadow to gently model the body, highlighting the smoothness of the skin and the volumes in a natural way. The slight tilt of the head, together with the model's direct but reserved gaze, accentuate her charisma and make her the absolute center of attention. The fabric she holds, with its colorful and loose movement, introduces a vibrant counterpoint to the sobriety of the neutral background, adding a sensory dimension that reinforces the sense of intimacy in the scene. From the technical point of view, this work is a sample of Casas' pictorial mastery. His stroke is loose and fluid, achieving a balance between precision and spontaneity. The brushstroke is soft and enveloping, characteristic of Catalan modernism, and the use of warm and muted tones contributes to create a harmonious and enveloping atmosphere. The texture of the skin is worked with great delicacy, achieving an almost ethereal effect, while the representation of the canvas stands out for its chromatic richness and its loose, almost impressionistic treatment. An outstanding painter and draughtsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.

    Est: €30,000 - €35,000

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Cloister of the Monastery Sant Benet del Bages ". Oil on canvas. Attached certificate issued by Don Marcial Barrachina Ramoneda. It has a carved and gilded wooden frame. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 75 x 61 cm; 98 x 85 cm (frame). Ramon Casas, a key painter of Catalan modernism, represented on several occasions the cloister of the Monastery of Sant Benet de Bages, a space that attracted him both for its serene atmosphere and its architectural richness. In this painting, Casas manages to capture light and color with exceptional mastery, demonstrating his profound knowledge of perspective and expressive use of the chromatic palette. The cloister, a space of meditation and recollection in the monastic tradition, is represented here with a masterful play of light and shadow. The lighting highlights the arches and columns, generating a contrast between warm and cold tones that adds depth to the composition. Casas employs loose brushstrokes and a rich pictorial texture, giving the work an almost ethereal feel, where the architecture seems to dissolve in the light and air. His technical mastery is evident in the way he uses color to model the volumes, especially in the central wall of reddish tones, which becomes a vibrant visual focus within the scene. Through this representation, the artist not only documents the place, but also imbues it with an evocative atmosphere. Casas, influenced by impressionism and modernism, achieves in this work a balance between architectural fidelity and a subjective interpretation of light and space. His interest in the monastery of Sant Benet de Bages is part of his desire to capture the essence of historic Catalonia. An outstanding painter and draughtsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend.

He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona. Although Ramón Casas is known above all for his portraits, in his works the architectural setting is sometimes very important when it comes to constructing the ambience and atmosphere in which the characters are set. In this view of the interior of the Romanesque cloister of Sant Benet del Bages, the painter plays masterfully with light and shadow, making a practically monochrome use of color, to build the solid gallery covered with barrel vaults of the old monastery and evoke the atmosphere of serenity and silence, of meditation and meditation. Attached certificate issued by Mr. Marcial Barrachina Ramoneda.

Dieser Wagen wurde ein solcher Verkaufsschlager, dass die Firma schon 1911 bei Paris ein weiteres Montagewerk für dieses exclusive und teure Fahrzeug einrichten konnte. Das Unternehmen überstand den spanischen Bürgerkrieg und baute weiter bis in die 1940er Jahre Autos. Schon vorher war der Bau von Flugzeug-Motoren und die Rüstungssparte (Schützenpanzer HS 30) hinzugekommen. 1970 wurden die Werke stillgelegt, Teile der Produktion übernahm der Schweizer Oerlikon-Bührle-Konzern.

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Portrait of General Weyler", 1915. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Work reproduced in the catalog raisonné "Ramón Casas, una vida dedicada a l'art", Isabell Coll, Ed. El Centaure groc, Barcelona, 1999, ref. 440, p. 355. Attached certificate of authenticity issued by Marçal Barrachina. Measurements: 61 x 45,5 cm; 92 x 77 cm (frame). Ramón Casas immortalizes in this splendid portrait General Valeriano Weyler y Nicolau, a Spanish military man and politician for whom the painter felt great affection, according to documentation found among his personal papers. Already in 1895 Ramón Casas had painted his work "El embarque de tropas", an oil on canvas that captures the embarkation of 1482 Spanish soldiers for the war in Cuba, an event also witnessed by Weyler himself. In the tender canvas we see a dignified and elegant portrait, with a man looking directly at the viewer, proud of the many decorations that adorn his uniform and that, however, do not compete in importance with the face, absolute center of the composition. At the compositional level we see the simplicity, order and clarity typical of all Casas's portraits, which on the other hand follow the forms of representation more to the taste of the time. From the very beginning Casas showed a clear predilection for portraiture, and a special mastery in capturing reality through a language that was totally his own, synthetic, expressive and modern, leaving behind the decorativism and symbolism of the prevailing Art Nouveau. In 1899, when he was only thirty-two years old, he inaugurated an anthological exhibition of his work in Barcelona. This exhibition made known to the public his collection of more than one hundred charcoal portraits of personalities of the time, painted that same year. This exhibition consecrated Casas as the best portraitist of his time, thanks not only to his formal mastery, but also to the perfect psychological description of his models. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism.

This magnificent poster was printed by Lit. Henrich y Cía. in Barcelona in 1898. Made from the drawing by Casas, this version is the most sought after among collectors because it belongs to the first (very short) print run of posters that was made. Very few copies of these posters have come down to us today because they were used in their entirety to hang them in the streets. Ramón Casas was an artist famous for his illustrations and portraits, and specifically in his female portraits both aspects of his work converge, since the female figure constituted the very essence of his posters and illustrations. From the very beginning Casas showed a clear predilection for portraiture, and a special mastery in capturing reality through a language that was totally his own, synthetic, expressive and modern, leaving behind the decorativism and symbolism of the prevailing Art Nouveau. In 1899, when he was only thirty-two years old, he inaugurated an anthological exhibition of his work in Barcelona. This exhibition made known to the public his collection of more than one hundred charcoal portraits of personalities of the time, painted that same year. This exhibition consecrated Casas as the best portraitist of his time, thanks not only to his formal mastery, but also to the perfect psychological description of his models. In this case it is a study that the painter made for the work "First you will pass over my corpse" or "Summer Study", preserved in the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.

Poster art was a turning point for advertising at the beginning of the 20th century.

    RAMÓN CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Chaplain". Oil on canvas. Signed Published in Isabel Coll's book, pg 315. Measurements: 91 x 42,5 cm; 114,5 x 66,5 cm (frame). Portrait of a priest by one of the great representatives of Catalan modernism, Ramon Casas. Painted full-length, the vertical framing welcomes his figure in the foreground, occupying a large part of the canvas. This is a representation characteristic of his ability to combine a realistic and vivid portrait with a modern treatment of color and line. The intense red contrasts with other ochre tones in the background and with the white of the blouse, attracting all the viewer's attention. The chaplain looks at us from the front while holding his stole with his right hand in a gesture that seems to emphasize his status, his belonging to a religious order. The face conveys a hint of self-consciousness, hidden behind a slightly haughty attitude. Casas was a great portraitist, capable of capturing the imperceptible nuances of mood. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernisme. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Contemporary Art Museums of Barcelona and Seville, among many others.

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Lady", ca.1900. Mixed media (pastel and watercolor) on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. With "Pèl i Ploma" stamp in the lower corner. Measurements: 30 x 22,5 cm; 49 x 41 cm (frame). Drawing made by Ramon Casas for the artistic and literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma", of which 100 issues were published between 1899 and 1903. With great economy of means, energetic and spontaneous stroke, Casas captures with few and accurate touches of color and emphasis in the drawing the elegant aspect of a bourgeois lady of the dawn of the century, wearing a hat, wearing a green blouse of fresh tonality and sporting a shawl or scarf of the same carmine color as her lips. Casas achieves a perfect balance between energy and melancholy, the latter given by a dreamy slant in her eyes. The short hair, delicately outlined, suggests the image of an independent woman. It is a work closely linked to the graphic design of the time: the sinuous line, the chromatic sobriety and the attention to current themes coincide with the features of posters and illustrations for magazines. Casas himself financed the edition of "Pèl i Ploma", and was its artistic director and main illustrator, while Miquel Utrillo was in charge of the literary section and Emilio Galcerán was in charge of the administrative part. It was one of the most representative magazines of Catalan modernism, a driving force of this movement and a platform for the dissemination of modern art. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies.

Certificates can be issued at the request and expense of the buyer. Measurements: 60 x 45,5 cm, 86 x 75 cm (frame). Casas was the master of modernist drawing in Catalonia, sensual in line and expressive in equal parts, delicate and subtle, endowed with a very special sensitivity. In this work, the draftsman's line becomes precise and hurried in the face, modeling it with delicacy, using a faint play of half shadows that focuses the viewer's attention precisely on him. This is reinforced by the enigmatic expression of the represented woman, who looks directly at us with a soft smile. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernism. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid.

With label on the back indicating that the work was exhibited at the Anthological Exhibition of landscape painters of Granada in 1962. It has slight damage. Measurements: 35 x 42 cm; 41 x 48 cm (frame). The canvas was painted by Ramón Casas immediately after his stay in Granada between mid-August 1883 and March 1884. Encouraged by his friend the painter Laureà Barrau, Casas went to Andalusia at the age of 19 to capture the light and the characteristic atmosphere of these lands. On this occasion he offers us a rural scene with Sierra Nevada in the background. He uses a style that derives from the innovations of impressionists, with a luminous and bright color, where the warm earthy foreground and orange stand out, and reduces the forms to geometric figures of simple character, achieving an effect that is, at the same time, decorative and highly expressive. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Lady with umbrella". Charcoal, pastel and wax on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. With Pèl i Ploma stamp in the lower right corner. Measurements: 29 x 21 cm; 55 x 47 cm (frame). Drawing made by Ramon Casas for the artistic and literary magazine "Pèl i Ploma", of which 100 issues were published between 1899 and 1903. Casas himself financed its edition and was its artistic director and main illustrator, while Miquel Utrillo was in charge of the literary section and Emilio Galcerán was in charge of the administrative part. It was one of the most representative magazines of Catalan modernism, a driving force of this movement and a platform for the dissemination of modern art. In this work Casas represents an elegant lady dressed according to the bourgeois fashion of the beginning of the century, with an elegant hat covering her up-do and an umbrella in her right hand. It is an image loaded with instantaneity, typical of the feminine representations of the Catalan school of the end of the 19th century. It combines the formal sensuality of the sinuous and expressive line, typically modernist, with the great realism with which a strictly contemporary image has been captured. It is a work closely linked to the graphic design of the time; the expressive linearity, the sobriety of the colors and the attention to current themes, coincide with the features of the posters and illustrations for magazines. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises.

    RAMON CASAS CARBÓ (Barcelona, 1866 - 1932). "Bullfighting poster, 1913. Lithograph. Measurements: 48 x 22,5 cm; 52 x 26,5 cm (frame). Poster announcing the bullfight held in the New Arenas Bullring in Barcelona on Sunday, May 18, 1913. An outstanding painter and draftsman, Casas began painting as a disciple of Joan Vicens. In 1881 he made his first trip to Paris, where he completed his training at the Carolus Duran and Gervex academies. The following year he participated for the first time in an exhibition at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and in 1883 he presented a self-portrait at the Salon des Champs Elysées in Paris, which earned him an invitation to become a member of the Salon de la Societé d'Artistes Françaises. He spent the following years traveling and painting between Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Granada. In 1886, suffering from tuberculosis, he settled in Barcelona to recover. There he came into contact with Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière and Ignacio Zuloaga. After a trip through Catalonia with Rusiñol in 1889, Casas returned to Paris with his friend. The following year he took part in a group exhibition at the Sala Parés, together with Rusiñol and Clarasó, and in fact the three of them continued to hold joint exhibitions there until Rusiñol's death in 1931. His works at this time are halfway between academicism and French impressionism, in a sort of germ of what would later become Catalan modernism. His fame continued to spread throughout Europe, and he held successful exhibitions in Madrid and Berlin, as well as participating in the Chicago World's Fair of 1893. Casas settled permanently in Barcelona, immersed in the modernist environment, although he continued to travel to Paris for the annual salons. He financed the premises that would become a point of reference for the modernists, the café Els Quatre Gats, inaugurated in 1897. Two years later he organized his first individual exhibition at the Sala Parés. While his fame as a painter grew, Casas began to work as a graphic designer, adopting the Art Nouveau style that came to define Catalan Modernisme. In the following years his successes followed: he presented two works at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, won a prize in Munich in 1901, several of his works were included in the permanent exhibition of the Círculo del Liceo, had several international exhibitions and, in 1904, won first prize at the General Exhibition in Madrid. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Museum of Montserrat, the Cau Ferrat in Sitges, the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona.
