EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a detail from the frieze of glazed ceramic panels created by the renowned Spanish artist, Francesc Xavier Nogués i Casas (1873-1941). The panels, which date back to 1920-21, can be found in the Cooperative Wine Cellar of El Pinell de Brai, located in the Terra Alta region of Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain. The Noucentisme painting, rich in color and horizontally composed, is a stunning representation of the world of wine and oil. The intricately designed ceramic panels are filled with allegorical and satirical scenes, providing a unique commentary on the daily life and traditions of the region. In this particular detail, we see a scene of grape harvesting, with men and women working together to gather the ripe grapes from the vine. The joy and camaraderie of the harvest are palpable, as the community comes together to celebrate the bounty of the land. Nogués i Casas was a leading figure in the Noucentisme movement, a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in Catalonia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement sought to promote a modern, European identity for Catalonia, and Nogués i Casas' work, with its vibrant colors and contemporary themes, was at the forefront of this movement. The cooperative wine cellar in El Pinell de Brai is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Catalonia and the importance of its agricultural traditions. The frieze of ceramic panels, with its intricate designs and satirical commentary, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of this fascinating region.
