The occasion for the publication of this catalogue was the exhibition bringing together some one hundred thirty works, including drawings, mosaics, marquetry, and furniture, by Gaspar Homar, a leader of the modernistes' revaluation of the decorative arts. The book begins with an introduction to the artist, followed by a catalogue of the works on exhibit, distributed among different chapters, which attest to the artist's eclecticism, his shunning of historicism, and his cultivation of diverse techniques such as marquetry, metalwork, mosaics and textile. At the end of the catalogue there is an extensive section of documentation including a cataloguing of works, a chronology, an exhaustive bibliography, and the English translation of the texts.
