LUNCH BREAK AT THE MUSEUM - FLASH VISITS

October 16 "Terrus – Bausil: painting the landscape after Impressionism":
In the 19th century and after Impressionism, the landscape becomes a field of chromatic experimentation. This visit highlights the work of Terrus and Bausil, who translate the light of Roussillon through intense and contrasting colors. An invitation to look at familiar landscapes in a different way.
A visit that complements the Terrus exhibition starting September 19.

October 21 "Pink October - In Maternal Arms - a look at motherhood and family":
On the occasion of Pink October, explore the parent-child motif in the museum's permanent collections. A playful and enriching visit to learn how to observe the works and understand the emotions they convey, from Mary and the Child to intimate family portraits.

October 30 "Free and Violent Things: Miró and the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)":
In 1937, Joan Miró participates, like his Catalan colleague Pablo Picasso, in the International Exhibition in Paris. While the latter presents his now-famous Guernica, Miró creates The Reaper, a work symbolizing his republican commitment that has since disappeared. This visit aims to revisit this key period in Miró's work, which sees the creation of the "Constellations", "wild" works, and subsequently a whole engaged plastic discourse against Francoism, which Miró summarized at the death of the Caudillo in 1975 as "through violence and through the sense of freedom."

November 13 "Abstraction: when art breaks free from the visible":
With the emergence of abstraction in the early 20th century, painting stops imitating the world to become an autonomous language. Geometry, lyrical gestures, optical research: artists multiply experiments to "twist" the relationship to reality already shaken by other avant-gardes. An enlightening introduction to these new modes of representation that redefine the very idea of image.

November 27 "The ceramics of Josep Llorens Artigas":
Catalan ceramist Josep Llorens Artigas (1892-1980) is primarily known for his collaborative work with Joan Miró. Their reunion in the 1940s indeed heralds the beginning of a fruitful co-creation that will decisively contribute to the latter's recognition. But Artigas is not limited to this single work. This visit thus offers an overview of his personal work and outlines the artistic links he maintains with the artists of his time, particularly Raoul Dufy, whose artistic production will be marked by their meeting in 1922.

December 4 "Academicism put to the test of modernity":
Often opposed to the avant-gardes, academicism nonetheless structures 19th-century art. This visit aims to understand its aesthetic principles, subjects, and distribution circuits, through works by Ingres and Gabriel Faraill. An essential counterpoint to read the ruptures of modernity differently.
