J. VILARRASA FESTA MAJOR. 1932. 463/4x34 inches. Barral Herms, Barcelona. Condition B: restored losses and overpainting in bottom left corner; repaired tears in margins, some affecting image; tears along vertical and horizontal folds. This previously unrecorded poster uses the yellow and red colors of the Catalan flag combined with sheets from a daily calendar, to announces a series of fiestas in Catalan, begining on the 5th of July. The celebrations cover a broad spectrum of events including religion, arts, sports, literature and folklore. Although there is a predominance of text the artist makes an interesting attempt to skillfully incorporate it into the Art Deco and geometrically inspired design. Not in Cataluna.
