Isidre Nonell

Spain · 1872–1911

Isidre Nonell i Monturiol was a Catalan artist from Spain known for his expressive portrayal of socially marginalized individuals in late 19th-century Barcelona. He is considered to belong to the post-Modernista generation, with an often post-impressionist brushstroke but a darker tone than many of his contemporaries. == Life == Isidre Nonell was born in 1872 in Barcelona. His parents, Isidre Nonell Torras and Àngela Monturiol Francàs, owned a small but prosperous factory which made soup noodles. Together with his childhood friend, Joaquim Mir, with whom he attended the same school in the neighborhood of Sant Pere in the old part of town in Barcelona, he developed artistic ambitions at an early age.
