The travelling exhibition "Modernisme and Flowers: From Nature to Architecture" focuses on how the decorative arts of Modernisme represented plants and flowers when used in construction. An exhibition is for the first time establishing a dialogue between the world of plants and Modernista architecture. The exhibition discourse has been divided into four areas. The first explains the creative process of artists when "capturing" the images of flowers. The second involves a journey through eight applied arts fields in architecture and their respective creation processes: ceramics, mosaics, ironwork, stonework, stucco, hydraulic mosaics, stained glass and plasterwork. The third offers an exhibition tour of flowers and plants that recreate a huge timeless garden. The exhibition concludes by looking at the difficulty of preserving the applied arts in construction. The exhibition at the Casa-Museu Lluís Domènech i Montaner in Canet de Mar has been enlarged with new pieces and also pays special attention to how flowers were represented in ceramics in the buildings by the architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
The exhibition curators are Fatima López, Marta Saliné and Sergio de la Fuente, PhDs in Art History and members of the GRACMON research group at the University of Barcelona.
