Modernidad Latente: Spanish Figurative Art Exhibition in Málaga, 1920-1970

This exhibition at the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga explores Spanish figurative art from 1920 to 1970, highlighting artists who maintained modernist ideals despite historical challenges like the Civil War and dictatorship. It features over sixty works from the Colección Telefónica and other public and private collections.

The exhibition 'Modernidad latente' at the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga champions the enduring role of figuration as a resilient path to modernity in Spain, particularly in the aftermath of the Civil War under a dictatorial regime. It revisits the promises of the avant-garde from the 1920s and 1930s and examines how artists continued to develop their work despite difficult circumstances. Divided into two sections, '_Promesas de la vanguardia_' (1920-1940) and '_El arte pese a todo_' (1940-1970), the exhibition showcases over sixty works. These pieces come from the Colección Telefónica, supplemented by loans from prestigious institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Colección Carmen Thyssen, and the Museo Patio Herreriano. Artists featured include Juan Gris, María Blanchard, Daniel Vázquez Díaz, Pablo Picasso, Óscar Domínguez, Carmen Laffón, and Antonio López, among others, illustrating diverse figurative approaches that persisted and evolved through different periods of Spanish art history, including Cubism, lyrical figuration, and new realisms.
