Summary: Paris, capital of the nineteenth century and of modern art, was a city that during the second half of that century and the early years of the twentieth possessed the same capacity that today, at the start of the twenty-first, New York has for attracting artists from all over the world. Accordingly, even though Spain had opened an Academy in Rome in 1873, it was inevitably Paris, and not the Italian capital, that attracted the attention of most Spanish artists. Paris has always been, of course, a window for Spain. An absolutely decisive moment—albeit indirectly—in the evolution of a Spanish Paris was the year 1897, in which an establishment called Els Quatre Gats, created by a group of friends (Pere Romeu, Santiago Rusiñol, Miquel Utrillo and Ramón Casas) in imitation of Le Chat Noir and others in Montmartre, opened its doors in the central Carrer de Montsió in Barcelona, on the ground floor of an Art Nouveau building by Josep Puig i Cadafalch. Els Quatre Gats: like the embassy of a certain Paris, in the Catalan capital.
