EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning poster, created by the illustrator R. Bas for the Barcelona International Exhibition of 1929, showcases a captivating view of Paseo de Maria Cristina in Barcelona. The image is adorned with the Montjuïc fountains and the majestic National Palace, both of which were key attractions during the exhibition. The use of vibrant colors and Art Deco design elements, popular during the time, adds to the allure of the poster. The Barcelona International Exhibition of 1929, also known as the International Exposition of the Works and Techniques of Industry, Art and Agriculture, was a world's fair held in Barcelona, Spain. The event was organized to showcase the latest advancements in industry, art, and agriculture, and attracted millions of visitors from around the world. The poster features several notable figures of the time, including King Alfonso XIII, who opened the exhibition in 1929, and the artists Primo de Rivera and Miguel Miret i Argimon, who were instrumental in the organization and execution of the event. The presence of automobiles and cars in the poster reflects the growing importance of transportation and technology during the period. The poster was created using the lithography technique, which involves the use of a flat stone or metal plate to transfer an image onto paper. Lithography was a popular method for creating posters during the early 20th century due to its ability to produce high-quality, detailed images. The Barcelona International Exhibition of 1929 was a significant event in the history of Barcelona and Spain, and this poster serves as a beautiful reminder of the city's rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements during that time.
