Idees

What En Cesc (Barcelona, 1927-2006), la Roser Capdevila (Barcelona, 1939) and la Pilarin Bayés (Vic, 1941) have in common is that they have mapped Catalan landscapes and their people (physically and also emotionally) with impeccable fidelity and verisimilitude, from the fields to the cities, from the countryside to the neighbourhoods of Barcelona, from the trades of the stockbreeder or peasant farmer to those of the street sweeper or fruit seller, but also politicians, the rich, the poor, transport systems, hospitals, culture, customs… Their drawings have recounted the history of Catalonia over recent decades and are, in themselves, part of the heritage of its people.

This is an exhibition of their early drawings, the birth of their style and some other graphic curiosities by three of the most prolific and influential illustrators and cartoonists in Catalonia in recent decades.
