Moviment Noucentista

Moviment Noucentista was a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in early 20th-century Catalonia, roughly between 1906 and the 1930s. It sought to modernize Catalan art and literature, moving away from the romantic styles of the past. Influenced by European trends, Noucentisme emphasized order, classicism, and a return to traditional values while celebrating Catalan identity. Key figures included writers and artists who aimed to balance modernity with authenticity, fostering a sense of pride in Catalonia's heritage. The movement played a significant role in shaping Catalan nationalism and cultural revival during a period of political and social change.
