Figurations in between wars 1914-1945

The exhibition proposes a reading focused on Catalan artistic production between 1914 and 1945. With more than one hundred works, it revisits the tension between tradition and modernity that Sala Parés materialised within the Barcelona art circuit, while also defining the complex nature of much of painting and sculpture of the period, shaped by a creative context that was multifaceted, dynamic and highly effervescent. It is precisely at this moment that the vast banner of figuration — or figurations — that would be carried by the gallery on Petritxol Street for decades to come, is defined and woven.
