Traces of the Fantastic in Catalan art

Main Article Content

M. Lluïsa Faxedas

This article studies the presence of the Fantastic in three specific moments of modern Catalan art history: the painting of the Modernisme, Dau al Set and its context, and some contemporary photographic practices. The aim of the article is not to produce an inventory of Catalan works and artists that have worked on or with the Fantastic, but to discover its presence in the aforementioned moments, and to try to suggest its meanings. To do this, the article tries to establish a working definition of Fantastic art in order to define its chronology and its main aspects; it examines also the presence of the Fantastic in the Catalan cultural context.
