Bales de paper. Domènech i Montaner en la cultura satírica popular (1900-1906)

Exhibition gathering forty cartoons published in the satirical press of Barcelona at the start of the twentieth century, with the architect and politician Lluís Domènech i Montaner as its common thread.

The exhibition brings together forty cartoons published in the satirical press of Barcelona at the start of the twentieth century, and centres on the public image of the architect and politician Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It is presented at the Centre d'Estudis Lluís Domènech i Montaner, an exhibition space in Canet de Mar.

The route invites visitors to read his figure as satirical cartoonists constructed it, understood as a space of collective production of critical discourse. The works serve to analyse the social imaginaries of that era and to understand caricature as a key element in the formation of public opinion.

The visit presents popular culture of the early twentieth century as a tool of social criticism and political vision, and shows how the press and graphic humour commented on the public life of the city.
