Escofet-Tejera & Co. Mosaics
1900
Alexandre de Riquer created this stunning advertisement for a mosaic company around 1900, perfectly capturing the elegance of the Art Nouveau style. Notice the two women: one stands regally in a rich, patterned gown holding a blueprint, while the other kneels to delicately paint tiles, suggesting that creating these mosaics is high art. The border is filled with stylized yellow flowers, framing the scene like a precious tapestry. This poster wasn't just selling tiles in Barcelona, Madrid, and Sevilla; it was selling a lifestyle of beauty and craftsmanship.
