From Montmartre to Montparnasse
By Charlotte Stace
The Museu Picasso welcomes the major exhibition, ‘From Montmartre to Montparnasse. Catalan artists in Paris, 1889-1914’. The Paris that Catalan artists lived in at the start of the 20th century was the world capital of modern art and the cradle of avant-garde experimentation. Painters, engravers, illustrators, musicians, writers and journalists embodied their perception of the city of light in works that we can view as part of this exhibition.
The works complete a panorama that takes place between two great historical events – the Universal Exposition of 1889 and the beginning of the Great War in 1914 – and between two urban areas: Montmartre and Montparnasse. Works from the likes of Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas, Isidre Nonell, Pablo Picasso, Lluïsa Vidal, Pau Casals, Isaac Albéniz, and Jaume Brossa will be on display.
If you’re a lover of the Belle Epoque, don’t miss the chance to see the Catalan experience of it.
