A Visit to the Romanesque. In the company of Antoni Tàpies

From 29 Oct 2013 to 29 Apr 2013

An installation in the Romanesque rooms of the Museo Nacional d'Art de Catalunya reveals how the art of that period influenced the work of Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012).

Works from Tàpies' private collection are displayed in the rooms along with statements by the artist and his contemporaries.

Tàpies was a painter, sculptor and art theorist who was the best known post-war Catalan artist. In 1948 he became a co-founder of Dau al Set, Spain's first post-war art movement which was connected to the Surrealist and Dadaist movements. Within a decade his international reputation was firmly established.
