Casademont’s work, mainly landscape in genre, figurative in style and rendered in soft tones, often reflected the light, mist, and clouds so characteristic of the Empordà region, and his paintings were exhibited all over the world. As well as painting, he also practised photography, and his photographic collection is now housed at the Museum of History of Girona.
Among his recognitions, Casademont was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi by the Government of Catalonia and the Gold Medal by the Town Council of Vichy.
As a curiosity, Casademont was a contemporary and close friend of Salvador Dalí. Like Dalí, he was born in Figueres and lived in Cadaqués. Dalí would visit him at La Bruguera, and in fact, his agent, the “Captain” Peter Moore, lived on the neighbouring estate, now known as the Castle of La Bruguera – currently a cultural project based on the solidarity economy. Later, Gala, Dalí’s wife, acquired the castle in the centre of Púbol. Today, that castle, known as the Gala Dalí Castle Museum, is one of the region’s top tourist attractions.
At the end of 2023, we launched our artistic programme. We’re very excited to share with you the new artistic directions we’re exploring, alongside our community of guests and collaborators.
