Subject Information	Domenech y Montaner is considered one of the protagonists of Catalan architectural Modernism, which is characterized by rationalism, and which contrasted with the more expressionist Modernism headed by Gaudi. One of his first works was a building for the Editorial Montaner y Simon (1880). With J. Puig i Cadafalch, he was the director of the Montaner i Simon publishing company in Barcelona from 1886-1897. Modernisme is the Catalan name for Art Nouveau. [The building is now Fundacio Antoni Tapies. Antoni Tapies created the sculpture crowning the building entitled Nuvol i cadira (Cloud and Chair, 1990). This sculpture represents a chair jutting out of a large cloud. The chair, a recurring motif in Tapies' works, alludes to a meditative attitude and to aesthetic contemplation.]
