The exhibition "Empremtes: Lluís Domènech i Montaner a Canet de Mar" (Traces: Lluís Domènech i Montaner in Canet de Mar), organised by the Lluís Domènech i Montaner House Museum in Canet de Mar, analyses the deep relationship between the architect and this town.

The search for beauty, utility and comfort and a certain element of exhibitionistic luxury are essentials of Modernism, as found in the interiors of bourgeois housing.
Together with architects, carpenter-decorators became a fashionable profession, receiving commissions from the bourgeois and concerning themselves with the furniture design and decoration of the houses; a reflection of the tastes of the time and the new way of living. Gaspar Homar and Joan Busquets are two outstanding examples of this profession. The Museu Nacional d´Art de Catalunya holds a notable range their work, both projects and furniture.

The show brings together an outstanding series of engravings by the artist Ismael Smith in a style combining Modernisme, Noucentisme and Art Déco. It is completed by a series of bookplates and story illustrations and expanded by a selection of Goya engravings that influenced Smith, as well as some pieces showing the friendship and special connection between Smith and Marià Andreu  Mataró artist.

The exhibition is curated by Txema Romero, Director of Cerdanyola Art Musem.
