4 Gats 1900

"4 Gats" is a poster created by Ramón Casas in 1900. It depicts a man sitting in a bar, smoking a pipe, while surrounded by patrons and a barkeep. The poster's vibrant colors and bold lines, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, capture the energy of a bustling café. This piece is a significant example of Casas's work, known for its focus on contemporary urban life in Barcelona, often showcasing the city's cafés, streets, and social gatherings. The poster's text, "4 Gats", refers to the famous Els Quatre Gats (The Four Cats) café, a popular meeting place for artists and intellectuals in late 19th-century Barcelona.
