Garba. 1905.
Garba was a short-lived arts and cultural publication that was active from 1905-1906; it featured short stories, poems, art, and articles, all related to the taste and aesthetics of Modernisme and dedicated to promoting Catalan culture and society. The magazine's illustrators included Adrià Gual, Ricard Opisso, and Joan Llimona, whose creative practice centered largely on religious paintings, and he produced few posters. Here, he employs this academic style to portray an allegorical woman peddling the newest issue of Garba to the disinterested men around her.
