Another lovely painting from the Museu Emporda (I did love this Gallery, all locals and no Dali’s) this one painted in the 1950’s is of a kitchen in the country and could almost be a photo.
Again I have no idea who painted it, apologies to the artist.
The things which fascinated me were the cooking hobs, perfectly modern , set into the counter but made for fire like those of a mediaeval kitchen. I presume charcoal was used but it could just as easily have been sticks. I wonder did they have a problem of smoke in the kitchen, I produce pillars of smoke when I barbecue.

on November 3, 2009About ten years ago, in Barcelona, I visited a flat with the same cooking hobs. Not very handy nowadays, but still beautiful. The charcoal goes underneath. Don’t know if it smokes, but you can always open the window.
