Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866–1932) was a Catalan Spanish artist. Living through a turbulent time in the history of his native Barcelona, he was known as a portraitist, sketching and painting the intellectual, economic, and political elite of Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, and beyond; he was also known for his paintings of crowd scenes ranging from the audience at a bullfight to the assembly for an execution to rioters in the Barcelona streets. Also, a graphic designer, his posters and postcards helped to define the Catalan art movement known as modernism.

40. Together with Rusiñol, Casas was one of the founding members of the Els
Quatre Gats circle of artists in Barcelona, and a leading representative of the
Catalan Modernista movement. Casas abandoned his studies when he was 11
years old in order to pursue his vocation as a painter. In 1882, aged sixteen,
and with the financial support of his father, he travelled to Paris with Santiago
Rusiñol. There he studied under Carolus Duran and at the Académie Gervex,
where Eugène Carrière and Puvis de Chavannes taught. His talent did not go
unnoticed, and just a year later he exhibited at the Salon des Champs
Elysées. In 1900 Casas held a solo show at the Sala Parés in Barcelona,
establishing him as the leading Catalan portrait painter of the day.
Casas' mother purchased the monastery of Sant Benet de Bages in 1907 and
hired Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. Casas would spend much time there, and
would repeatedly depict the monastery and its surroundings. Five years later,
when his mother died, he inherited the monastery. In 1913 he acquired an
architecturally notable home in Barcelona, a tower on Carrer de San Gervasi
(now Carrer de les Carolines). By the 1920s, Casas had fallen far away from the
avant-gardiste tendencies of his youth. If anything, his work from this period
looks like it came from an academic painter of an earlier time than his work of
the 1890s. He continued painting landscapes and portraits, as well as anti-
tuberculosis posters and the like, but by the time of his death in 1932, shortly
after the emergence of the Second Spanish Republic, he was already more a
figure of the past than the present.

51. Recognised as one of the masterpieces of ukiyo-e style (“pictures of
the floating world”) and inspiring “Japonism”, a cultural and artistic
trend that invaded Europe in the second half of the 19th century, “The
great wave off Kanagawa” served as inspiration to Ramon Casas,
when it came to decorating the walls of the “Salón de las Sirenas” in
Hotel España.
When, at the beginning of the 20th century, the architect Lluís
Domènech i Montaner began work to renovate the hotel, he entrusted
the painter Ramon Casas with the task of decorating the dining room.
Casas, who, together with artist and writer Santiago Rusiñol, was one
of the main introducers of Modernism into Catalonia, covered this
room’s wall with a spectacular recreation of a seabed halfway between
reality and fantasy, inhabited by mermaids, Mediterranean fish,
crustaceans and cephalopods, on a background of light colours and
embossed waves.
