The Colors of Catalonia
In the footsteps of twentieth-century artists
Come explore the extraordinary cultural heritage of French and Spanish Catalonia!
Forever linked to 3 major art movements - Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism - Catalonia has inspired artists like Henri Matisse, Aristide Maillol, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Salvador Dali, and many more. This narrative guidebook doesn't analyze paintings, but instead explores how Catalonia's landscape, culture, and talented local artists, like George-Daniel de Monfreid, Gustave Fayet, and Etienne Terrus, influenced the early artistic development of now-legendary painters, sculptors, and writers.
Praise for The Colors of Catalonia
"The Colors of Catalonia fascinates with its stories of the artists who found their inspiration there, and it beautifully captures the essence of a region for a new generation of travelers."
Thomas Swick, author of The Joys of Travel and A Way to See the World
"For those who visit this ancient kingdom, and those who can do so only in spirit, I heartily commend Virginie Raguenaud's delightful book, which brings to life the inspiring spirit of Catalonia."
Count Nikolai Tolstoy, author of Patrick O'Brian: The Making of The Novelist
