Anton Clave 1913 L'Opinio. 1933 39 x 27 inches. I. G. Viladot, Barcelona. Condition A. Like most Catalonian artists, Clave was a strong supporter of the Spanish Republic. He was also part of a circle of poster artists that designed movie posters in a clear Art- Deco style. For this newspaper, he creates a sober and very strong image, utilizing the diagonal that is created by the placement of thestreet vendor and the newspaper that he holds in his hand.
