Interiors of 'Modernisme': Gaspar Homar and Joan Busquets
Interiors of 'Modernisme': Gaspar Homar and Joan Busquets
The search for beauty, utility and comfort and a certain element of exhibitionistic luxury are essentials of Modernism, as found in the interiors of bourgeois housing.Together with architects, carpenter-decorators became a fashionable profession, receiving commissions from the bourgeois and concerning themselves with the furniture design and decoration of the houses; a reflection of the tastes of the time and the new way of living. Gaspar Homar (in Spanish) and Joan Busquets (in Spanish) are two outstanding examples of this profession. The Museu Nacional dArt de Catalunya holds a notable range their work, both projects and furniture.
A display of this collection is currently on exhibition in room 56 of the museum, within the frame of Partage Plus-Digitising and Enabling Art Nouveau for Europeana, a project partially financed by the European Union, which makes this valuable modernist collection of the museum accessible to the public.
