Programme
Picabia Méditerranée - Picasso, Delaunay, Laurencin...
A major figure in international artistic circles, Francis Picabia (1879–1953) played a key role in the history of the early 20th-century avant-gardes. In the 1910s and 1920s, shaped by his travels between New York and Barcelona, the artist developed a visual language that was as bold as it was irreverent. The exhibition at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Céret retraces his career from a fresh perspective, highlighting in particular the influence of Iberian culture on his work and on that of his contemporaries.
Bringing together nearly one hundred works by Picabia and by artists from his New York and Catalan circles — from Marcel and Suzanne Duchamp to Albert Gleizes and Juliette Roche, from Robert and Sonia Delaunay to Kees van Dongen, Marie Laurencin, Natalia Goncharova and Pablo Picasso — the exhibition benefits from the support of leading institutions in France and Spain, through exceptional loans from the Musée de l’Orangerie, the Centre Pompidou, the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, the Museo Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, as well as the Picasso Museums in Paris and Barcelona.
