Ramón Gaya Museum is hosting a new 'extraposition': Wesselmann Cohen collection, curated by Miguel fructose.
The exhibition, which will be open until January 6, includes a dozen charcoal drawings by Picasso, Paul Frukt, Liubov Popow, Walter Groppis, Paul Kle, August McKee, Karl Schmidt-Rohluff, Mikhail Zelensky and the Lissitzke.
The collection Cohen-Wesselmann is known in the art world as a review of major historical avant-garde, but also should be read in correspondence with the Jewish Intelligentsia who set much of Central European culture during the first half of the twentieth century.
In the training schedule in this collection are particularly important discussions with Ramón Gaya to dramatize the dilemma of all artists between classicism and modernity.
This exhibition will return to find two conflicting stories, but common experience a moment of decision, discussing the works in the Museo Ramón Gaya with those belonging to the Cohen-Wesselmann Foundation in Basel, which has lent several drawings showing in budding major art movements.
This collection is seen as a sign of its time, revealing how, through the metaphor of the journey appears a suitable mechanism for grasping the contemporary experience, becoming an opportunity to think himself the historian, with the objective always on the horizon is desirable, but rarely endowed with the gift of truth.
That is why this exhibition is a clear exercise of memory located on the current line of recent documentaries, such as the fake documentary, which emphasize the fictional character present in all historical reconstruction.
