Medardo Rosso

Fundación MAPFRE Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)

Known for his depictions of ordinary, often humble and marginalized individuals, Medardo Rosso (Turin, 1858-Milan, 1928) was one of the sculptors who, at the turn of the 19th to 20th century, contributed to freeing sculpture from the weight of the academic tradition. One of his goals was to capture the different conditions of the human being —joy, sadness and helplessness—, which led him to work unceasingly on variations of the same character or theme. Curated by Gloria Moure, this exhibition revives the memory of this artist through a hundred works including sculptures, photographs and drawings. Through these, we can clearly appreciate the extent to which Rosso’s ideas and approaches respond to a vision far removed from his time and which were, therefore, pivotal to sculptural creation in the twentieth century.

Mathieu Pernot

Document-monument

Fundación MAPFRE Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)

The work of Mathieu Pernot (Fréjus, France, 1970), one of the most outstanding artists on the current scene, reflects his atypical and alternative approach to photography. Documento-monumento [Document-monument] is the first ever presentation in Spain of a tour through his almost 30 years of artistic production. In his photographs, Pernot mixes motifs related to current issues (ethnic minorities, urban planning in the peripheries, refugees, immigration, wars…) with others that refer to more personal questions, using a style in which the documentary is combined with archival work and approaches from other genres. The exhibition spans his early work as a student at the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles up to his most recent projects, including Le Grand Tour, awarded the biannual Henri-Cartier-Bresson Prize in 2019. In addition to this accolade, Pernot has won the Prix Nadar (2013) for his collaboration with Philippe Artières looking at the archives of the Bon Sauveur psychiatric hospital in Picauville (Normandy), and the Prix Niépce in 2014.

Sorolla’s summers

Fundación MAPFRE Recoletos Exhibition Hall (Madrid)

This exhibition, with which Fundación MAPFRE joins in the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of Sorolla’s death, allows us, through a small but very select selection of works, to retrace the painter’s artistic journey through the presentation of the most popular theme of his career, beach scenes, and to show the uniqueness of an artistic vision that oscillated between tradition and modernity, between the vernacular and the cosmopolitan.
