Exhibition in Madrid. Fundación MAPFRE Recoletos Exhibition Hall

From 01/02/2018 to 06/05/2018

From 1st February at the Fundación MAPFRE Recoletos Hall in Madrid we are presenting an exhibition that explores the friendship between three of the great artists of the 20th century: André Derain (1880-1954), Balthus (Balthasar Klossowski) (1908-2001) and Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966). The visions of these three artists, never before contrasted, coincide in what must be demanded of a work of art. Far beyond the mutual admiration and sincere affection that bonded them throughout their lives, their profound agreement on aesthetic questions is the common thread running through this exhibition.

From 19/03/2018 to 08/07/2018

From 19 March, at its Recoletos Exhibition Hall, Fundación MAPFRE is showing the exhibition Tribute to Miró. Women in the drawings of the Fundación MAPFRE Collections. After many years of putting on temporary shows, Fundación MAPFRE opened the Espacio Miró at the end of 2016 as a permanent collection . This space has given us the chance to reflect and delve deeper into the work of the brilliant Catalan artist and to find recurring motifs in his work that open up a dialogue with other works of art. For this tribute to the figure of Joan Miró, we have chosen a subject that takes center stage in his work and is also a central topic in our collections of drawings: women.

Entering the artistic universe of Miró means discovering the embodiment of pure color, identifying the logic of symbols and evaluating the difficult harmony between the constant and the ethereal. The Catalan artist, who exerted a powerful influence on key American painters of the mid-20th century, was a creator, magician and genius of contemporary.

Sign up for Miró Tuesdays! Every Tuesday there will be specialists available to give you an innovative insight into the exhibition.
Fifteen minutes exclusively devoted to you. From 11:30 to 13:30 and from 16:30 to 18:30 hours. We look forward to welcoming you!
