Description

Rare Art Deco poster advertising the 1929 Universal Exposition in Barcelona. As a sort of “dry run” for the 1992 Summer Olympics, the exposition called for a great deal of urban development within the city (it required the urban planning of Montjuïc and its adjacent areas and the renovation of public spaces, principally Plaça d'Espanya) and became a testing-ground for the new architectural styles developed in the early 20th century. At a local level, this meant the consolidation of Noucentisme, a classical style that replaced the “modernisme”. The Exposition also allowed for the erection of several emblematic buildings and structures, including the Palau Nacional de Catalunya, the Font màgica de Montjuïc and the Poble Espanyol. Lithograph poster in A condition. linen backed. Dimensions in inches: 40.16 x 27.96''.
