Baile de Máscaras. 1926.
Beginning in 1889, the Cercle Artístic de Barcelona organized annual costume dances as part of the Carnival festivities; from 1915 on, posters became crucial advertising tools, and the group hosted poster competitions for each year's event. For the dance of 1926, it appears that the theme was based around African culture. Nogués—who for some reason signed his works "Babel"—was a painter, draftsman, potter, printmaker, and illustrator for the magazine Papitu.
