Auca (cartoon)
An auca () is a genre of a story in pictures developed mainly in Catalonia. Description The auca was present in some other parts of Spain, even though it was most popular in Catalonia. It has a structure somewhat similar to comics, but has more rigid. The auca has a number of images that can be evenly divided by 4 (usually 48), all images are of the same size, all fit on one page, and there is a small piece of text, called ''rodolí'' (, plural ''rodolins'') - underneath every image, usually in the Catalan language and since the 19th century also rhymed. History The auca began as a card game played for money. The cards were possibly also used for divination, judging by the images that initially appeared on them: the Moon, the Sun, stars and animals, among them a goose, which gave its name to the game. (''Auca'' means "goose" in the north-western dialects of Catalan; it is ''oca'' in modern standard Catalan.) The earliest preserved auca was created by Pere Abadal in 1670 in Moià ...

Gabriel Alomar
Gabriel Alomar (; 1873–1941) was a poet, essayist, educator and diplomat of the early twentieth century in Spain, closely related to the Catalan art movement Modernisme. He was an active leftist libertarian, chiefly in Barcelona and the other Catalan-speaking regions, from the first years of the 20th century until his death from pneumonia in exile. Beginnings Alomar was born in Palma and raised in the Balearic Islands, a traditional province of Spain where the power of the Catholic Church was very strong. His father was a minor bureaucrat and so was moved around rather often; this made Gabriel's childhood rather more cosmopolitan than was normal for Spanish youngsters of the time. In 1888, after finishing secondary school in Palma, he (like many young Majorcan men) went to mainland Barcelona to finish his education. In this environment, he became active as a journalist as well as continuing to publish poetry in what the critic Josephine de Boer has called a Parnassian mode ...

It was often inspired by natural forms such as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers. Other characteristics of Art Nouveau were a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by asymmetry or whiplash lines, and the use of modern materials, particularly iron, glass, ceramics and later concrete, to create unusual forms and larger open spaces.Sembach, Klaus-Jürgen, ''L'Art Nouveau'' (2013), pp. 8–30 One major objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the traditional distinction between fine ...
