Leisure and social life
Leisure and social life are two of the ambits most looked after by the Barcelona bourgeoisie. The cafés and other venues that emulate the most prestigious French saloons become centres of great importance for the development of an art that, in part, responds to these needs.

Europeana: Partage Plus
Partage Plus is a project coordinated by Collections Trust and the Musées Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire of Belgium, with the aim of publishing, through the web portal of Europeana, a catalogue with more than 75,000 art nouveau works.
The project, in which 23 institutions participate from all over Europe, started in March 2012, and finished in March 2014.
The Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya is the only one from the Spanish state that participates, with the contribution of 2,082 works of all artistic types: posters, medals, sculptures, paintings, furniture, drawings, prints, decorative arts, etc., 56 of which can be seen in 3D. All of which can be consulted in our online catalogue.
The contribution of the museum counts on works by Antoni Gaudí, Josep Llimona, Ramon Casas, Gaspar Homar, Isidre Nonell, Santiago Rusiñol, Joan Busquets, Alexandre de Riquer, Lambert Escaler and other Catalan artists who lived and created under the influence of art nouveau, better known here in Catalonia as Modernisme. In addition to this representation of Catalan art, the museum also presents works by foreign creators such as Maxfield Parrish, Henri Privat-Livemont, Edward Penfield or Alphonse-Marie Mucha.

The woman, an active social life
The 1910s are also remarkable for the abandonment of the corset that, on one hand, was driven by women’s emancipation and growing activity in social life and, on the other hand, symbolized the women’s liberation from the rigid roles and tough boundaries that society used to put on them.
The New Woman was bicycling, driving, playing tennis and golf, swimming and doing other sports. This new trend of participating in lots of outdoor activities promoted the idea of the athletic woman as fashionable and socially acceptable, but also gave a push for development of women’s sportswear design and cleared the path for women to wear trousers.
