The Hôtel Mezzara is opening its doors to the public to host an exhibition entitled "Hector Guimard, Design Pioneer", a show presented and organised by Le Cercle Guimard.
The event provides an excellent opportunity to visit the rooms of the Hôtel Mezzara, a gem designed by this great Art Nouveau architect.

The exhibition can be visited on 27, 28 and 29 September from 5.30pm to 8pm and then every weekend until 9 December 2017.

The Museu d´Art de Cerdanyola (MAC) presents a small show in its permanent gallery dedicated to Ismael Smith and the subject of the nude in his work, revealing his most hidden side: his sexual identity and Jewish origins. Nude and Naked offers an overview of the artist´s work based on one of his most common themes, the nude, addressing various issues that relate to sexuality stereotypes and Smith´s personality. The team at El Palomar will provide a counterpoint from the perspective of the queer movement and there will be a series of installations from young emerging artists on display in the museum´s Arc space, establishing a dialogue with the disciplines of this versatile creator (sculpture, illustration, jewellery), as well as highlighting Smith´s most ground-breaking, modern vision.

Free entrance

The exhibition has been extended until 30 December 2017

The Gothsland Art Gallery is presenting a series of 25 carefully selected works produced by Joan Cardona i Lladòs (Barcelona, 1877-1957) between 1898 and 1909 to commemorate the 140th anniversary of his birth. The exhibition focuses on the Parisian period of this great draughtsman of satirical and humorous publications in Paris during the Belle Époque.

The exhibition "Ramon Pichot. From Els Quatre Gats to La Maison Rose" displays Pichot´s evolution from his initial Modernisme to the decorativism of the early 20th century. Pichot´s work is especially characterised by the treatment and predominance of colour. Three places would come to mark him throughout his career as an artist: Barcelona, Paris and Cadaqués, and in terms of subject matter he would alternate between genre scenes, portraits, the landscape of Cadaqués and Hispanic regionalism.

The MAPFRE Foundation in Barcelona presents one of the icons of art from the 'fin de siècle' period, The Gates of Hell by Auguste Rodin. This installation brings together a hundred sculptures and around thirty drawings, that have only been shown on rare occasions, plus various mock-ups and models that give an insight into the creative process of the sculptor and the evolution that the Gates were subjected to over the years. Considered the central work of the French sculptor?s career, who spent more than twenty years working on it. This monumental piece offers a spectacular view of hell, frenzied and tempestuous, yet also sensual and evocative.

This presentation at the Leopold Museum will be the most comprehensive retrospective exhibition of works by Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) in Austria since the artist´s resounding success at the 1904 Secession exhibition. An exponent of Symbolism and Jugendstil, a pioneer of Expressionism, and not least an innovator of monumental painting, Hodler was an important inspiration to numerous artists of Viennese Modernism, such as Gustav Klimt and Koloman Moser, as well as Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele.

This landmark exhibition explores the life and work of May Morris, the younger daughter of William Morris and one of the most significant artists of the British Arts and Crafts movement.

The Barcelona Design Museum joins the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of  Puig i Cadafalch's birth  (1867-1956) with an exhibition by the photographer Ramon Manent. This time, Ramon Manent's camera gives us his particular view of the most significant works of the architect.

In the years around 1900, the multi-ethnic realm of the Habsburg Monarchy experienced a lively exchange of art and culture between Vienna, its center, and the main cities of the Crown lands such as Zagreb. For the development of Croatian art around the turn of the century, this exchange was very significant. In the exhibition, the connections and points of reference at the start of the twentieth century are presented by key works of Austrian and Croatian artists of that period.
