Modernista Movement
The Modernista Movement was an early 20th-century cultural and artistic movement, primarily in Catalonia, Spain, around 1910-1930. It aimed to break away from traditional styles by embracing innovative design, vibrant aesthetics, and a unified artistic approach across architecture, graphic arts, and literature. Inspired by Art Nouveau, Modernista sought to reflect modern life with expressive curves, decorative motifs, and a focus on craftsmanship. Prominent figures like Antoni Gaudà exemplified its spirit through distinctive, nature-inspired architecture. Overall, it was about revitalizing arts and culture with creativity, originality, and a forward-looking vision.
