''Ramon Casas and Pere Romeu on a Tandem'' is a painting by Ramon Casas in exhibition at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona. == Description == Casas painted ''Ramon Casas and Pere Romeu on a Tandem'' in 1897 specifically for the interior of Els Quatre Gats, a bar that was at the center of the Modernisme art movement in Barcelona.〔McCully (1978), p. 64〕 It depicts Casas and Pere Romeu, one of the promoters of ''Els Quatre Gats'', on a tandem bicycle against the Barcelona skyline. Casas is seen in profile with his pipe, while Romeu looks directly at the viewer.〔Robinson et al, p.81〕 Although painted on canvas, the composition has the graphic quality of a huge poster with its bold drawing and simplified forms, reflecting the fact that the artist was a skilled poster designer and illustrator.〔(Ramon Casas and Pere Romeu on a Tandem and in an Automobile on the National Art Museum of Catalonia's YouTube channel )〕 The original inscription on the right side of the painting, which was later cut off, read "to ride a bicycle, you can't go with your back straight."〔 The message described the attitude of the bar founders (two of whom are depicted here), that in order to make progress, you must break with tradition, as was done at Els Quatre Gats. In 1901, this painting was replaced with another large composition by Casas, entitled Ramon Casas and Pere Romeu in an Automobile, in which the tandem bicycle has given way to a car, symbolizing the new century.〔 When reproductions of the two paintings appeared in the magazine Pel & Ploma, they were referred to as ''The End of the 19th Century'' and ''The Beginning of the 20th Century'', respectively.〔Robinson et al., p. 82〕
