NOGUɓ, Xavier: A Colorful Scene of Drunken Men in Noucentisme Tiles, Barcelona, Spain This panel of six polychrome tiles, created by the Catalan artist Francesc Xavier NOGUɓ (1873-1941), showcases a lively and humorous scene of drunken men. The tiles, produced around 1915 during the Noucentisme period, are a prime example of the decorative arts movement that emerged in Catalonia, Spain. Noucentisme, also known as Novecentismo or Novecente, was a modernist artistic movement that arose in response to the traditionalist Modernisme style. It emphasized simplicity, clarity, and a return to classical forms, while also incorporating elements of contemporary life. NOGUɓ's tiles perfectly encapsulate this blend of the old and the new, with their vibrant colors and intricate details. The tiles depict a group of men, each in various stages of inebriation, gathered around a table. Their expressions range from merriment to dishevelment, and their clothing, while traditional, is slightly disheveled, adding to the overall sense of fun and mischief. The men's masculine energy is palpable, making this a truly contemporary and engaging work of art. The tiles are not only a visual treat, but they also offer a glimpse into the cultural history of Barcelona during the early 20th century. The costumbrist tradition, which focused on depicting everyday life and local customs, is evident in the scene, adding to the tiles' historical significance. This horizontal panel of tiles, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a standout piece in the Barcelona City History Museum's collection and a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary Western art, particularly the Noucentisme movement.
