Daniel Argimon’s space (1929-1996) invites you to discover one of the most important representatives of Catalan informalism. A painter, engraver and lithographer, his works have been exhibited all over the world and are held in the main museums and public collections of contemporary art in Europe and America. Argimon, also recognized for his significant work as a professor of lithography, was a politically and socially committed artist as well. He helped to found several artists’ associations dedicated to defending the profession.
