\"Exposicions<\/a><\/p>\n

We present today the Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya\u2019s exhibitions programme for 2019, centred on the first major retrospective exhibition about Bartolom\u00e9 Bermejo<\/strong>, one of the most fascinating painters of the fifteenth century. The work of the Barcelona photographer Oriol Maspons<\/strong> will be the subject of a large-format retrospective. The Museu Nacional continues disseminating knowledge of its collection, introducing the public to its artists, and collaborating with other national and international art museums.<\/p>\n

Exhibitions<\/h3>\n

Bartolom\u00e9 Bermejo<\/a><\/h4>\n

Organized jointly by the Museu Nacional d\u2019Art de Catalunya and the Museo del Prado<\/a>, the exhibition brings together work from several museums<\/strong> around the world and will enable visitors to admire all aspects of the work of <\/strong>Bartolom\u00e9 Bermejo<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2003 the Museu Nacional mounted an exhibition on the subject of Hispano-Flemish Gothic Painting, including work by Bermejo<\/a>. Now some major works that it was not possible to display on that occasion will be exhibited, such as the Pietat Despl\u00e0<\/em><\/a>, recently restored.<\/p>\n

Antoni Fabr\u00e9s <\/a><\/h4>\n

At the age of 25, the sculptor and painter Antoni Fabr\u00e9s was awarded a grant to go to Rome, the city that at the time was the natural destination for outstanding artists. He arrived there in 1875, a year after the death of Mari\u00e0 Fortuny<\/a>, a<\/strong>nd worked on drawing, painting and watercolour, three techniques that he mastered like none other in his day.<\/p>\n

Post-war Sculpture in Catalonia<\/h4>\n

The exhibition will propose a review of the principal lines of experimentation of Catalan Avant-garde sculpture<\/strong> in the\u00a0 post-Spanish civil war years in Catalonia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a hostile climate dominated by official academic sculpture, artists such as Joan Brossa, \u00c0ngel Ferrant and Joan Mir\u00f3 set out to recover the initiatives of the new Avant-garde sculpture: objet trouv\u00e9<\/em>, primitive sculpture and abstract sculpture. These were the three main avenues of experimentation that were to guide a new generation of Avant-garde sculptors during the post-war years who, like Josep Maria Subirachs, Mois\u00e9s Vill\u00e8lia, Marcel Mart\u00ed and Francesc Torres Mons\u00f3, began to make a name for themselves in the context of the ebullient art scene in Barcelona in the late 1940s.<\/p>\n

The exhibition aims also to review one of the great specialities of post-war sculpture:abstrac<\/strong>tion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Collection<\/h3>\n

The museum is working intensely on the Modern Art collection .<\/a><\/p>\n

Post-war art and the second Avant-garde, 1940-1980<\/h4>\n

The Museu Nacional wishes to incorporate into the collection the art of the period dating from the post-war years and the Franco dictatorship to the return of democracy and the beginnings of Post-modernism, a period that has been called the second Avant-garde and has been little studied to date.<\/p>\n

Based on an intense process of research, the museum is performing a task of heritage enhancement in order to configure the collection covering that period.<\/p>\n

The artworks that have been acquired, thanks to donations, long-term loans and purchases, will be exhibited in the galleries at the end of the Modern Art collection, as a prolongation of the permanent collection\u2019s discourse.<\/p>\n

During 2019 the works of Aur\u00e8lia Mu\u00f1oz, Joan Claret, Ram\u00f3n Llovet, Magda Bolumar, Fin (Jos\u00e9 Vilat\u00f3), Francesc Tod\u00f3, and Messa (Francesc Sempere Fern\u00e1ndez de Messa) will be presented.<\/p>\n

This is a collection under construction<\/strong> that will grow, since more additions are planned during the year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aur\u00e8lia Mu\u00f1oz Donation<\/h4>\n

The artist\u2019s family has donated seven textile works and a collection of drawings to the museum that will enable us to appreciate the quality of her work in the formative years of the language of contemporary textile art. These works will be exhibited temporarily in the context of the project to configure and develop the collection of post-war art and the second Avant-garde.<\/p>\n

Revisited, her works show a refinement, an Avant-garde rigour and an expressive belonging that may be interpreted from a contemporary point of view, and for this reason they have to be rescued for posterity.<\/p>\n

Dialogues with the collection<\/h3>\n

This project invites contemporary artists<\/strong> to establish a dialogue with the collection <\/strong>as a way of building bridges between society, the present and the works conserved in the museum.<\/p>\n

Oriol Vilapuig<\/h4>\n

The artist Oriol Vilapuig explores Romanesque chapels and, using the grattage<\/em> technique,<\/em> he recovers reliefs, floors, symbols that had been hidden, spaces almost invisible to the occasional visitor. They are fragments that had been rejected, which the museum had overlooked and which now, thanks to this artist\u2019s work, have come to light and will be exhibited in the rooms of the Romanesque Art collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects in collaboration<\/h3>\n

Underground comics in Barcelona<\/h4>\n

Coinciding with the Sal\u00f3 del C\u00f2mic<\/a> and the 40th<\/sup> anniversary of the magazine El V\u00edbora<\/em>, the museum will be organizing an exhibition about underground comics of the 1970s<\/strong> and their sudden emergence in the legendary magazine, a cultural and artistic phenomenon associated especially with the city of Barcelona.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is a step further in the line of work being done at our museum to incorporate comics in the activities and the collection<\/strong> as yet another visual language reflecting a historical and artistic context that connects with our present.<\/p>\n

ORATIONIBUS #SR, based on the book by Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol<\/h4>\n

The Museu Nacional will begin collaborating with the Teatre Nacional<\/a> in the context of the season of plays that this autumn is dedicated to Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol.<\/p>\n

In November, the performance of the show Orationibus #SR, a concert performance based on the book Oracions <\/em>(Prayers), by Santiago Rusi\u00f1ol<\/strong>, will take place at the museum.<\/p>\n

Related to this show, a small group of works by Rusi\u00f1ol from the museum\u2019s collection<\/strong> will also be displayed: oil paintings, drawings and posters by the artist.<\/strong><\/p>\n
