Description
"In an
article
published
in
Figueres
in
May
1921
,
Subias
Galter
(1897-1984)
praised
the
gouache
posters
that
Dali
had
done
for the
recent
Santa
Creu
festivities
.
Several
critics
had
pointed
out
that they and
other
works
in the
same
vein
owed
an
evident
debt
to the
painter
Xavier
Nogués
Casas
(1873-1941)
,
famous
for his
celebration
of
Catalan
country
life
;
Dali's
brilliant
colors
,
however
, as he
himself
wrote
in
1922
,
distinguished
him from the
older
man
.
Subias
appreciated
this
originality
and
deemed
the
posters
excellent
.
Fair
of the
Holy
Cross
(1921)
gives
a
good
idea
of what they
looked
like.
