      Day 3

      Barcelona

      April 23, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

      Today was St George’s Day, the patron saint of Catalonia. There were lots of stalls selling roses and most people carried one - it was a bit like Valentine’s Day.

      I had a very interesting time walking around the city. I spent the morning at the Museu Nacional D’Art de Catalonia. It is a beautiful building with a great collection of medieval and more modern art and the views from the roof were spectacular.

      The weather was fine all morning but there were a few hail storms this afternoon which caused a bit of excitement at the outdoor cafes.

      Barcelona - Day Three

      May 10, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Today was Montjuïc. And more stairs. Lots of stairs. We started with half the modern art floor of the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. It’s gigantic. They housed posters from the resistance during Franco’s rise to absolute power. Great narratives and sequencing of the works. That always makes me happy.

      Of course I forgot to
      bring my binoculars, but I could ID the Monk and Rose-ringed Parakeets, a magpie, serin and other common birds.

      Gail went down to the Montjuic prison and I was supposed to go to the Miro Museum. I trekked back to finish the second half of the art museum. It was fabulous. Beautifully curated. It told a complete story from one room to the next. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

      Gail and I went to a flamenco performance after a short nap. It was just an hour but packed with singing, guitar playing, and of course, dancing. Costumes we gorgeous. They put on a good show. Except the old ladies who talked during much of the performance, it was super fun.

      I returned to Tierra del Fuego (solo - not a great place for a vegetarian) for a truly delectable conejo asada with a couple glasses of red wine. The cook and waitress joked with me that I had to finish it! In Spanish! So fun to be able to play in Spanish. (Gracias a Pablo)

      Tomorrow we head down to Sevilla.      Read more

      MNAC (Museo Nationale Art de Catalunya)

      August 3, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F

      The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya - National Art Museum of Catalonia is the national museum of Catalan visual art.
      Situated on Montjuïc hill, the museum is especially notable for its outstanding collection of Romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art and design from the late XIX and early XX centuries, including modernisme and noucentisme. The museum is housed in the Palau Nacional, a huge, Italian-style building dating to 1929.

      Art of Spanish Civil War

      August 3, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

      The museum contains the permanent collection of modern art dedicated to art produced during the period of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). A total of 108 pieces are shown including paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs, sculptures, paper money, along with new media , such as illustrated publications, posters, photomontage or cinema, which were put at the service of both sides. Works by 43 artists are on display, some of whom had never been exhibited in the museum’s rooms. A set of 57 works from the reserves are exhibited for the first time in the rooms of the permanent collection. Works from private repositories will also be shown for the first time, as well as some recent acquisitions, which will help to enrich the exhibition discourse.

      During the years of the war, many artists decided not to remain neutral: art becomes a powerful weapon to stir consciences and add followers to one or another political cause.

      Despite the dramatic conditions of the context, this mobilization led to the culmination of some of the aspirations of modern and avant-garde art. The war as a reason unfolds a whole iconographic program where they emphasize subjects like the war front, the aerial bombings or the massacres and evacuations of the civilian population.

      Nationalpalast in Barcelona

      March 24, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Das nicht so schöne Wetter nutzen wir zum Besuch des Nationalpalast.

      Der Palau Nacional mit seinen vielen Türmen und Kuppeln gleicht einem Schloss und wurde im Jahre 1929 für die 2. Weltausstellung in Barcelona fertig gestellt. Er liegt zu Füßen des Montjuïc und in unmittelbarer Nähe des Olympiastadions.

      Nach dem Besuch des Museum wollten wir uns noch das Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau besuchen. Also einmal quer durch die Stadt mit der U-Bahn ein paar Meter gehen und dann standen wir vor verschlossen Türen😢
      Laut Google sollte es offen sein.
      So konnten wir uns das historische Krankenhaus leider nur von außen anschauen.
      Das Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau - oder kurz "Hospital Sant Pau" - hat sich seit seiner Gründung vor rund 600 Jahren von einem mittelalterlichen Wohlfahrtshaus zu einer modernen Krankenhausanlage entwickelt. Heute ist das Hospital Sant Pau eines der schönsten und bedeutendsten Gebäudekomplexe des Modernisme.

      Das Hospital Sant Pau ist eine wunderschöne Anlage aus der Zeit des Modernsime, ein Meisterwerk des Architekten Lluis Domènech i Montaner. Immer mit der Absicht, dem Menschen und seiner Gesundheit zu dienen, baute er ein Krankenhaus, das als Gesamtkunstwerk Farbe und Frische statt Sterilität zu bieten hatte.      Read more
