This work is commonly regarded as one of the most influential pieces of modern art, and has become a celebrated work from it’s era. It was initially rejected by the Cubist art community as too Futuristic yet managed to be exhibited at Galeries J. Dalmau, Cubist Exposition of 1912 in Barcelona. Later it caused such a frenzy while exhibited at the 1913 Armory Show in New York that lines stretched for blocks with people waiting to see it.
Catmota is a showcase for intriguing art from the undiscovered to the influential. Whether it achieves stillness in the midst of chaos or shatters the serene, art should be seen without the corrupting influence of fads or wealthy collectors.
