Ramon Casas. Portraits in Charcoal. Catalogue offering the collection of original portraits made by Ramon Casas of Catalan and Spanish personalities from the cultural, artistic, political, economic and social spheres of his day, conserved as part of the Drawings and Engravings Department of the MNAC. Most of these works, begun by Casas at the waning of the 19th century, were first made public in the pages of 'Pèl & Ploma' and in the exhibition put on in 1899 at the Sala Parés. This collection constitutes an unparalleled chronicle of Catalan culture, as valuable from a historical and documental standpoint as for its intrinsic artistic merits, as it provides us with a magnificently executed portrait of the epoch, the ambience of a fully modernista, intellectual and bourgeois Barcelona.
