Gaudí in Brazil
Gaudí in Brazil
A representative series from the Modernist collection of the museum has travelled to Brazil to participate in the exhibition Gaudí: Barcelona 1900, which recreates the creative vitality of Barcelona from the beginning of the 20th century, the moment in which the city became one of the epicentres of European art, the scenario of Bourgeoisie power and the class struggle. And it was during this period that Modernism emerged, a movement in which the traditional arts were integrated with craftwork, and which not only included art, but also all the fields of culture, and social and political life.
The exhibition, which can be seen in Florianópolis (27/8-30/10/2016), Sao Paulo (19/11/2016-5/2/2017) and Rio de Janeiro (date to be confirmed), gathers together more than one hundred objects, furniture, models, and paintings, the work of architects, designers and painters from the period, from different museums, as well as 46 models by Gaudí (four on a monumental scale) and more than 25 pieces of furniture and various objects, representative of his work.
