Organised by Obra Social "la Caixa"
La Obra Social "la Caixa" presenta una exquisita selección de 60 obras procedentes de la colección de la baronesa Carmen Thyssen. Se trata de un recorrido estructurado en torno al paisaje catalán entre 1850 y 1950 que aprovecha la propia riqueza de los fondos de la colección para establecer diálogos y nexos con el arte internacional más próximo a él.
Es una oportunidad única para adentrarse en lo que supuso la evolución del tratamiento del paisaje que, libre de la reglamentación de la pintura de historia y del retrato, fue el género que más evolucionó a lo largo del siglo xix. Buena parte de ese desarrollo se debió a la práctica de la pintura al aire libre, que revolucionó el paisajismo tradicional.
El impresionismo supuso una de las transformaciones más profundas de la historia de la pintura occidental. La difusión del impresionismo coincidió con la expansión económica y demográfica de Barcelona, y su mirada hacia París como ejemplo de modernidad, también para las nuevas generaciones de jóvenes artistas.
Ya en el siglo xx en Francia, Italia y Alemania hicieron su irrupción las primeras vanguardias. Lo que primó a partir de entonces fue el deseo de explorar nuevas vías de experimentación plástica al margen de pasado.
Obras de artistas como Rusiñol, Monet, Matisse, Mir, Meifrén o Miró serán el hilo conductor de un recorrido organizado en cinco ámbitos de clara voluntad didáctica.

Exhibition: A Shot of Rhythm and color: English Textile Design of the Late 19th Century

Vienna

Organised by MAK-Österreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst/Gegenwartskunst
This exhibition presents a representative selection of English fabrics from the MAK Collection of Textiles and Carpets. These textiles were purchased in England for the museum and presented to the Viennese public while they were still new. Hence, Vienna´s artists and tradespeople got to know and took inspiration from these innovative, English-designed products even prior to 1900, as is shown prominently in the new Vienna 1900 exhibit of the MAK Permanent Collection. The best-known English designers of their era, figures including William Morris, Walter Crane and Charles F. A. Voysey, are represented in this showing by fabric and wallpaper designs characterized above all by generously dimensioned repeat patterns as well as patterns derived from plants and flowers.
