The exhibition "Lluïsa Vidal (1876-1918)" will show all the artistic facets of this major painter, cartoonist and illustrator who belonged to the generation of young Catalan Modernista artists. Lluïsa Vidal was noted as a highly valued portrait painter for her ability to reveal the emotional state of the person portrayed.

The exhibition will be completed by a documentation section featuring family photographs, letters, photographs of works by the painter published in magazines, published books with her illustrations, reviews of her exhibitions in various newspapers of the time and the diploma awarded to the painter in 1907 by the city of Barcelona for one of her drawings.

The exhibition provides the chance to become better acquainted with the later paintings of Edvard Munch and his influence on the Danish artist Asger Jorn´s body of work. By focusing on Munch the painter, new perspectives can be found on the free, spontaneous and gestural aspects of Munch´s paintings as perceived by Jorn in the late 1940s

The exhibition will include a series of some 200 works grouped in five main areas and comprising a very careful selection of some of the most emblematic works by this Barcelona painter.

The show´s narrative will be enriched by a very select group of works from an extremely notable repertoire of artists who served as his inspiration or exerted a certain influence in him. The inclusion of visual reference works by these painters, who influenced the inflections of his poetics, with figures such as Carolus-Duran, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, Sargent, Degas, Bastien-Lepage, Whistler, Rusiñol or Sorolla, is reflected by the similar role of master that Casas played for such important artists as Torres-Garcia, Picasso or Julio Romero de Torres, who will also be represented by their work in the exhibition.

The exhibition will travel to CaixaForum Madrid and Palma de Mallorca throughout 2017.

The Moscow Museum of Modern Art in partnership with AUREA Cultura i Art presents a large-scale exhibition «Antoni Gaudí. Barcelona». The project aims at tracing the artistic journey of Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) through his major architectural achievements while revealing the influence of his work on contemporary culture. Gaudí´s first exhibition in Russia is held to coincide with the 165th anniversary of the architect´s birth. The exhibition in MMOMA is complemented by a piece by a contemporary Catalan artist Frederic Amat who is rightly considered a successor of Gaudí´s tradition in the field of media art.

The exhibition "Ismael Smith. Beauty and Monsters" is arranged in five rooms: the person, the illustrator, the sculptor, the engraver and the artist´s tragic end, providing an in-depth overview of the career of Ismael Smith Marí (Barcelona, 1886 - White Plains, New York, 1972).

This exhibition explores the fascinating dialogue between Gustav Klimt´s work and classical art. A selection of examples from the artist´s oeuvre illustrates a fundamental shift in his understanding of antiquity. Whereas his early work, influenced by Historicism, reveals an interest in the details of classical art, after 1900 he translated the spirit of antiquity into his own formal language. The exhibition illustrates this development through juxtaposing Klimt´s work with classical vase painting and casts of sculptures that inspired the artist.

The summer´s exhibition "Towards the forest - Knausgård on Munch" takes the form of a journey from light and harmony through darkness and chaos - returning finally to a controllable reality. 

Do not miss this exhibition to explore the architecture by Paul Hamesse, a disciple of Paul Hankar! This architect worked for more than 40 years with his brothers, Georges and Leon, in their studio in Saint Gilles.
