Exhibition in Madrid. Fundación MAPFRE Recoletos Exhibition Hall

From 09/02/2019 to 05/05/2019

At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, Russian artists, revolutionaries before the revolution began, threw out all the established norms and were forerunners of modernity in ways never seen before in their country.

Fundación MAPFRE, together with the Grimaldi Forum Monaco, is holding the From Chagall to Malévich: Art in Revolution exhibition, which brings together over 90 works and 23 publications from artists who lived through the transformation of a society full of hope and the belief that with the revolution, a new world was being ushered in.

This exhibition is on display at Paseo de Recoletos, 23 in Madrid from 9 February.

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.

With this exhibition we seek to dig deeper into Miró's soul through 65 works which include some of the symbols most characteristic of his work: stars, suns, moons, birds and feminine forms. The elements of his works are strategically placed on the canvas and speak to the importance of meditation in art and the concept of controlled spontaneity. Furthermore, five of Calder's structures reveal the friendship and professional relationship between the two artists.
