The Novecentismo or Noucentismo is an aesthetic movement that is closely associated with the avant-garde of the early TWENTIETH century. The second term was coined by Eugenio d'ors, with the idea of referring to this same movement, but in the area of Catalan, and making this style something which the modernism and symbolism. He argues that art must break with reality, provides an important role for the humor, defends a pure art, an art for art's sake, and the renewal of the language at all levels. Rejects both the romanticism, such as sentimentalism, advocating for a domain of order and beauty and a constant search of the cosmopolitan, turning its attention to the city.

In this lot you appreciate decorative elements plant lines are very clean and elegant, highlighted in gold on the vase, the more dark. The human figures are almost hidden as they have been made in a tone very similar to the vases in which they are sitting. The interaction between the two characters is very relaxed, almost informal, and the butterfly wings us away the figures of the known cupids of the classical tradition and of the angels the most typical.
