Exhibition “From Montmartre to Montparnasse. Catalan artists in Paris (1889-1914)”

Exhibition Message:

• «The Paris The Catalan creators met at the beginning of the 20th century was the world capital of modern art and the cradle of avant -garde experimentation. Painters, engravers, illustrators, musicians, performers, writers, journalists and other characters reflected their perception of the City of Light in works that we can now contemplate in this great exhibition. »

• «This multidisciplinary proposal allows the public to enter the urban and human landscape of the momentin its daily reality and the ways of living it; It brings us closer to the work of artists and their conditions and the world of leisure and shows. Portraits and self -portraits complete a panorama that runs between two major historical events – the universal exhibition of 1889 and the beginning of the Great War in 1914 – and between two urban poles marked by artistic life: the Montmartre of the late nineteenth century and The Montparnasse that has been consolidated as an art related to art since the beginning of the 20th century. There are also other Parisian geographies: the Ile de la Cite, Belleville, the Saint Martin channel or the boulevards and their surroundings. “
