Masó Drawings

In the exhibition, one can see how Masó’s architectural and decorative projects, in addition to plans and technical drawings, often contain high-quality drawings and paintings. These are true examples of his aesthetic evolution from Modernism to Noucentisme and his commitment to modernity. However, the selection process was not easy, as the architect’s legacy consists of more than 4,700 works on paper, many of which are of the same quality as those chosen.

This exhibition is also intended to showcase previously unseen or little-known works by Masó, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of his legacy and projecting it throughout the country and beyond Catalonia. It allows for a journey through his architectural work, with drawings for his most famous buildings (the Farinera Teixidor, La Punxa, Casa Masó, Casa Masramon in Olot, Casa Casas in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, the current library in Palafrugell, the chalets in S’Agaró, etc.), as well as tracing his work as an illustrator and decorator of signs, textiles, decorative objects, furniture, and interiors. It also highlights his interest in nature, portraiture, ethnography, popular culture, history, and both ancient and modern art.
