La práctica: París, entre amigos (1891–1897)

What is it about?

In the words of early 20th-century writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna, José Cabrero y Mons (1871–1954) is the central figure in the novela del Arte. However, he remains the only unknown artist in José Gutiérrez Solana’s iconic painting La tertulia del café de Pombo, one of the most significant works in the Museo Reina Sofía. This monograph delves into his fascinating artistic life, uncovering previously unpublished details, including rare books from his personal library, correspondence with fellow artists, his artistic work, and his remarkable collection of modern art, featuring works by Puvis de Chavannes, Solana, Rodin, Carrière, Iturrino and De Groux, among others.
