Hoy es el aniversario de la muerte del artista Pablo Picasso, y para conmemorarlo hemos decidido dedicarle el Art Bite del día a una de sus obras que más presencia tiene en la vida cotidiana de la gente de nuestra ciudad, Barcelona.

Situada en el corazón histórico, la fachada del Col·legi d'Aquitectes de Barcelona forma parte ya del paisaje urbano de la ciudad, las miles de personas que pasan cada día por la Plaça Nova bajando desde Portal de l'Àngel, o yendo hacia la Catedral, están siempre acompañadas por la magnífica obra del artista.
