Abstract
The catalan popular engraving that goes from 1880 to 1910
approximately, evolves from forms and contents characteristic of previous times
towards a greater realism, driving subjects and representations closer to the
new needs of the masses consume. This was possible too with the consolidation
and expansion of new modern printing techniques such as xylography on forehead, lithography and other photomechanic variants.
It is intended to establish with these lines a certain autonomous evolution of
its forms and contents in relation to the vanguard trends of those years, that
is, to analyze the production of popular engraving that, coinciding
chronologically with the catalan
Modernism,
did not participate in it, taking its own parallel evolution, in literary forms
and styles or artistic conceptions, preceding
Modernism itself. Only in the last years of the nineteenth century,
in the midst of the effervescence of
Modernism,
we can see a certain change of course in its aesthetic invariantness.
