Carrer del Comerc, 28 (Commerce Street), Barcelona
Picasso's final studio in Barcelona was graciously lent to him by Catalan sculptor Pau Gargallo, known for his involvement in the decoration of numerous astounding modernist projects throughout the city. The same building housed the studio of painter Isidre Nonell, who would influence Picasso's work not so much with regard to style, but rather with thematic and conceptual affinity. Picasso occupied this studio until his permanent departure to Paris in April 1904, marking the end of his time in Barcelona.
