Picasso, Matisse, Miró - graphics
14 November – 12 December 2004
Rarely do we have the opportunity to encounter works of world art, works by artists who have set the trends and canons of an entire era.
Such an artist is undoubtedly Pablo Picasso, and he is not inferior at all to Henri Matisse and Joan Miró. That is why it is worth taking the opportunity to commune with the graphics of these authors during the exhibition in Stalowa Wola.
The exhibition includes 80 works by three of the greatest masters of 20th-century art.
PABLO PICASSO (1881-1973). Spanish painter and sculptor. One of the most significant artists of the 20th century, an artist whose name has become widely perceived as synonymous with extreme manifestations of modern art. Co-founder of Cubism, which is considered to be the highest artistic achievement and the foundation for the development of all modern art.
HENRI MATISSE (1869-1954), French painter and printmaker; co-founder of Fauvism. He combined the teachings of the old masters and inspirations drawn from African art to create Fauvism, one of the most interesting trends in 20th-century painting, contemporary with Cubism but less constrained than it by intellectual patterns.
JOAN MIRÓ (1893-1983), Spanish painter, printmaker and sculptor. Miró’s style combines elements of surrealism, organic abstraction with the use of graphic signs sometimes reminiscent of primitive art (primitivism) and children’s drawings. The synthesis of form is combined with a rich imagination and sense of humour, as well as a peculiar moodiness.
