“Turner. Light is color”, MNAC
The evocative and romantic landscapes of William Turner are the main protagonists of this exhibition organized by the MNAC (Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya) in collaboration with the Tate Gallery in London. Through almost one hundred works by the English artist, including paintings, drawings, sketches and engravings, this exhibition allows us to see how through watercolor Turner manages to give the landscape a scientific approach, but at the same time with a great expressive precision that have made the English painter a true precursor of several of the movements that succeeded him.
Avedon behind the scenes’ FotoNostrum
The FotoNostrum hall hosts the first exhibition dedicated to the famous American fashion photographer and portraitist Richard Avedon in Spain. The exhibition, made up of several photographs taken by the artist’s manager for more than 16 years, Gideon Lewis, shows the elaboration process behind some of Avedon’s most iconic images. The exhibition is completed with 13 original snapshots by Avedon himself from the private collection of the designer and curator of the exhibition Joanna Mastroianni. Without a doubt, the set becomes a true visual testimony of photo shoots for fashion magazines, as well as life in the studio.
