Description
Visit the Mapfre Foundation in Madrid, and discover a space for avant-garde culture as well as artistic and documentary photography. See works of painting, photography, and sketches with a focus on the period spanning from the late-19th century to the mid-20th century. Until January 7, 2024 the visitors can enjoy two excellent temporary exhibitions of greats artists: Medardo Rosso. Pioneer of modern sculpture Deeply misunderstood in his day, valued only by those at the cutting edge of art, the work of Medardo Rosso (Turin, 1858-Milan, 1928) is today extremely innovative and ahead of its time. The artist, who preferred to leave Italy and flee from academicism in search of Parisian cosmopolitanism, was a visionary who, with his more experimental work, which is the focus of this exhibition, proposed a break with the sculptural tradition, advancing the aesthetic approaches that would later be followed by the great sculptors of the 20th century. Sorolla and Summer Summer leisure on the beach is one of the themes that runs through the entire work of Joaquín Sorolla (1863-1923). Always captured from life, the depictions of working at the sea and summer leisure on the beach are probably the most popular in his oeuvre and are also an interesting testimony to the evolution of the sea environment in relation to its therapeutic properties and the emergence of summer as a period of entertainment and sociability throughout the 19th century. Sorolla and Summer presents a careful selection of forty works (half of them small-format) on this essential theme in the career of the great Valencian artist. Mathieu Pernot. Document/Monument With an unconventional and alternative approach, the work of Mathieu Pernot (1972) explores the margins of society through themes that are recurrently and transversally intertwined in his career: migrants, displaced persons, victims of war, the gipsy...His images incorporate elements of documentary photography and archive work to end up conveying a vision of these realities far removed from univocal or immutable interpretations. Document/Monument is the first retrospective exhibition to be presented in Spain of a work that has already been recognized by relevant awards (the Nadar in 2013, the Niépce in 2014 and, more recently, in 2019, the prestigious Henri Cartier-Bresson) that place Pernot among the most prominent names on the panorama of contemporary photography.
