From Montmartre to Montparnasse (1889-1914). Catalan artists in Paris
The Paris that Catalan creators knew 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, interpreters, writers, journalists and other personages embodied their perception of the city of light in works that we can now contemplate together in this major exhibition.
This multidisciplinary proposal allows the public to delve into the urban and human landscape of the time, its daily reality and the ways of living it; we approach the work of artists and their conditions; and also in their moments of leisure and at shows. The portraits and self-portraits complete a panorama that takes place between two great historical events 鈥� the Universal Exposition of 1889 and the beginning of the Great War in 1914 鈥� and between two urban poles marked by artistic life: Montmartre at the end of the 19th century and Montparnasse, which has been established as a place related to art since the beginning of the 20th century. There are also other Parisian geographies: the Ile de la Cit茅, Belleville, the Canal de Saint Martin or the boulevards and their surroundings.
