Ricard Opisso

He was linked to Els Quatre Gats group, together with Ramon Casas, Manuel Hugué, Isidre Nonell and Pablo Picasso, among others.

(from 1903) and L'Esquella de la Torratxa (from 1912), signing drawings oriented to political satire, which are graphically related to Art Nouveau.

Because of the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, Opisso abandons political satire and his drawings approach the theme of manners, specializing in popular scenes.

From this time they date their best-known works for the comic magazine TBO (in which he had begun to collaborate in 1919), where he specialized in the realization of covers.

At Astoria Hotel in Barcelona a collection of more than 200 Opisso illustrations is shown continuously since late 2007 on the ground floor (lobby and cafeteria).
