Polychrome Glazed Terracotta Tile On A Tin-glazed Background. Ignacio Zulo
A work dating from the heyday of Catalan Modernism and the emergence of Noucentisme, characterized by a synthesis of a more assertive graphic style, stylized forms, and the revitalization of artistic ceramics as an advertising medium.
A rectangular commemorative ceramic tile bearing the inscription “ART AND FASHIONS / BARCELONA.”
Along the outer edge, a yellow border outlines a background of intense cobalt blue, bearing the inscription “ART ABDA FASHIONS / BARCELONA.” The four corners are adorned with fantastical figures in a lighter shade of blue, accompanied by sinuous decorative motifs.
The central medallion, highlighted by the same shade of yellow, frames the depiction of a richly decorated archway opening onto a country road. A figure seen from behind, accompanied by a donkey, is walking toward what appears to be a village.
