11/22/2024 - 03/30/2025

We all have an imaginary 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 imaginary comes to life in an exhibition which, through the work of painters, engravers, illustrators, musicians, performers, writers, journalists and other Catalan personalities who were there, captures the perception they had of the city of light at that time. The Picasso Museum has brought together an exhibition of artists including 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 take us through different aspects of Paris at the turn of the century, specifically between the Universal Exhibition of 1889 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Thus, we will travel through the urban and human landscape of the time and the artists' moments of 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 of the turn of the century.
