Like "Le Chat Noir", "Els Quatre Gats" attempted its own literary and artistic magazine, to which Casas was a major contributor. That was short-lived, but was soon followed by "Pèl & Ploma", which would slightly outlast the bar itself, and "Forma" (1904–1908), to which Casas also contributed. "Pèl & Ploma" sponsored several prominent art exhibitions, including Casas' own well-received first solo show (1899 at Sala Parés), which brought together a retrospective of his oil paintings as well as a set of charcoal sketches of contemporary figures prominent in Barcelona's cultural life.
