“All artists bear the imprint of their time,” Matisse wrote in 1908, “but the great artists are those in whom this is most profoundly marked.”

Fernand Léger and Modern Life is a co-production between IVAM and Tate Liverpool that brings together more than fifty paintings and drawings by the artist, as well as a large-scale photomural, films, graphic designs, books and fabrics.

One of the main lines of the IVAM’s strategy consists in re-exploring and highlighting the importance of the careers of women artists whose work has remained on the sidelines of the official historiographic discourse. This is why the IVAM is devoting a major exhibition to one of the essential figures for an understanding of the renewal...

The exhibition places the works of Julio González (Barcelona, 1876 - Paris, 1942) right at the centre of the aesthetic, political and social debate of his time, seeking to generate a discourse in which all such aspects come together using the artwork and documents that the IVAM has about him and other Avant-garde artists.

This new look at the IVAM Collection will set out from one of its central nuclei, Pop Art, especially British Pop Art and the Spanish forms of realism, in order to expand the concept of realism to which they were related.

Ignacio Pinazo (Valencia, 1849 – Godella, 1916) opened up a new field for the treatment of naturalism, light and investigation.
