  From Montmartre to Montparnasse Catalan artists in Paris 18891914 Museu Picasso

  We all have an image of what Paris was like at the beginning of the 20th century: a place where bohemia brought together the best international artists of the time and where avant-garde experimentation flourished. Now this image is brought to life in an exhibition that, through the work of painters, engravers, illustrators, musicians, performers, writers, journalists and other Catalan figures who were there, captures their perceptions of the city of light at the time. The Picasso Museum has brought together an exhibition featuring artists such as Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, Isidre Nonell, Pablo Picasso, Joaquim Sunyer, Lluïsa Vidal, Laura Albéniz, Pau Casals, Isaac Albéniz, Enric Granados, Joaquim Nin, Maria Gay and Jaume Brossa to lead us through different aspects of Paris at the turn of the century, specifically between the Universal Exposition of 1889 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. We can explore the urban and human landscape of the time and the artists' work and leisure in the two urban poles marked by artistic life: Montmartre at the end of the 19th century and Montparnasse at the beginning of the 20th century. A unique opportunity to see the work of the best Catalan artists from the beginning of the last century.
