Exposició "Picabia, Méditerranée. Picasso, Delaunay, Laurencin..."

Central figure of international artistic circles, Francis Picabia (1879-1953) plays a key role in the history of early 20th-century avant-gardes. During the 1910s and 1920s, nourished by his travels between New York and Barcelona, the artist developed an artistic language as bold as it was irreverent. The exhibition at the Ceret Modern Art Museum depicts the artist's journey from a new angle and explores especially the role that Iberian culture played in his work and that of his contemporaries. The show features nearly a hundred works by Picabia and his New York and Catalan artistic circle, from Marcel and Suzanne Duchamp to Albert Gleizes and Juliette Roche, from Robert and Sonia Delaunay to Kees van Dongen, Marie Laurencin, Natalia Goncharova, or even Pablo Picasso. It counts on the support of prestigious institutions from France and Spain thanks to exceptional loans from the Musée de l'Orangerie, the Centre Pompidou, the Princely Palace of Monaco, the Centro de Arte–Museo Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, and also the Picasso Museums in Paris and Barcelona. This exhibition is recognised as being of national interest by the French State (Ministry of Culture), which provides it with exceptional financial support.
