Josep Maria de Sucre (Barcelona, 1886-1969): painter, poet, art critic. An essential cultural catalyst. His work connects Noucentisme with 20th-century Catalan avant-garde. He anticipated neo-expressionist approaches, exploring human psychology through faces, masks, and portraits. The Espais Volart exhibition highlights this expressive intensity. Beyond his own production, the show emphasizes his role as a patron. He supported a post-war generation of artists, pushing them towards international modernity. Thirty Catalan creators revisit this legacy, linking the republican period with new European trends. A dossier curated by Aitor Quiney and Joan Gil Gregorio. Rediscovering a pivotal figure in the narrative of post-war Catalan art.

The venue
Espais Volart
Industrial modernism: epicenter of Catalan art.
Nestled in the Dreta de l'Eixample, Espais Volart stands out as a hub for contemporary Catalan art. Housed within the former textile warehouses of Casa Antònia Puget and Casa Felip – modernist buildings dating back to 1904 and 1901, respectively – the center retains its industrial past. The renovation preserved its original structure, offering spacious, bright rooms perfect for exhibitions. Managed by the Fundació Vila Casas, this museum hosts temporary and retrospective shows, championing the work of established and emerging Catalan artists. A cultural landmark in dialogue with its bourgeois architectural surroundings.
