Spanish powerhouse for modern and contemporary art
Spain’s national museum of 20th-century art, founded in 1992, charts artistic movements from the late 19th century to present day. Celebrated here are the country’s most revered painters of the past 100 years, such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró — including many of their most seminal works — as well as other international legends. Among the great masterpieces on display is “Guernica,” Picasso’s harrowing testament to the tragedies of the Spanish Civil War, as well as noted collections of surrealism — with works by Francis Picabia, René Magritte and Yves Tanguy — and cubism, represented by Juan Gris, Georges Braque, Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger. The museum’s dynamic curatorial program presents up to six or more exhibitions at one time, including solo shows of significant emerging artists, as well as provocative engagements with issues that have shaped international art for the past century.
