Height of Creativity and Success in Catalonia
Beginning in the 1890s, when Casas and Rusiñol took up permanent residence in Catalonia, their work went from strength to strength. Continuing with some of the themes explored in the previous years in Paris and Catalonia, they produced several masterpieces such as Open Air Interior (Casas) and Morphine (Rusiñol), outstanding examples of how they assimilated the lessons learned in Paris in their handling of space, light, figures and colouring and in their choice of modern everyday life, including its miseries, as a subject of their painting.
