Catalan Modernism

Catalan Modernism, also known as Modernisme, was an artistic and architectural movement in Catalonia, Spain, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It sought to break away from traditional styles by emphasizing creativity, craftsmanship, and new materials. Inspired by nature, it features organic shapes, intricate details, vibrant colors, and innovative design. Prominent figures like Antoni Gaudí transformed cities with iconic buildings that blend art and architecture seamlessly. Modernism aimed to express local identity and cultural pride, leaving a lasting legacy in Barcelona's cultural and physical landscape.
