Portraits: Essence and Expression
Under the title of Portraits: Essence and Expression, the first floor of the Centro Bot铆n will permanently host a selection of 20th century masterpieces from the Jaime Bot铆n art collection, which includes works by Henri Matisse, Francis Bacon, Juan Gris, Joaqu铆n Sorolla, Daniel V谩zquez D铆az, Isidre Nonell, Jos茅 Guti茅rrez Solana and Pancho Coss铆o.
The eight works that Jaime Bot铆n has loaned to the Bot铆n Foundation, of which he is the Patron, are: Spanish Woman (1917) by Henri Matisse; Self Portrait with Injured Eye (1972) by Francis Bacon; Harlequin (1918) by Juan Gris; Going for a Swim. Valencia (1908) by Joaqu铆n Sorolla; Woman in Red (1931) by Daniel V谩zquez D铆az; Half Body Figure (1907) by Isidre Nonell; The Mask Builder (1944) by Jos茅 Guti茅rrez Solana and Portrait of my Mother (1942) by Pancho Coss铆o.
Chronologically, this selection of works reflects almost entirely the art of the 20th century, kicking off with Half Body Figure, created by Nonell in 1907, and ending with Self Portrait with Injured Eye, painted by Francis Bacon in 1972. Furthermore, it brings together works by Spanish artists with a high plastic value but with hardly any recognition beyond our borders with other international creators considered to be cutting edge in the development of 20th century art. Therefore, brought together in accordance with the taste of their owner, we find ourselves before a select set with evident connections that enables us to enter into his particular micro-cosmos.
