Artistic Works
Versatile, with excellent drawing technique, great sensitivity and a strong Catalanist, Lola Anglada is considered the last of the classical Catalan illustrators of the 20th century and one of the most important writers of the pre-war era.
She collaborated with several children's magazines, including En Jordi, En Patufet, La Nuri (set up by Anglada herself) and La Mainada. The character that she made most well-known, "El més petit de tots" ("the smallest of all of them"), is a symbol of Catalan national identity of that period.

Famous quotes containing the words artistic and/or works:
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honor.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 5–6)
