Tatlin

With this retrospective exhibition dedicated to Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin, who was fascinated by the works of Picasso, the museum opens its doors to the Russian avant-garde and examines the creative talent that was unleashed at the onset of the twentieth century.

This retrospective of works by Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin, who found Picasso's work inspiring, is unique in its scope and enables the museum to renew the ties between Barcelona and Russia. The exhibition provides a showcase for the Russian avant-garde, surveying the creative landscape of the early twentieth century from the threshold of the twenty-first.

Vladimir Tatlin was one of the great experimenters and revolutionaries of art , whose work, in the first decades of the twentieth century, marked the beginning of a new age for humanity. The Russian painters, musicians and writers who discovered previously unexplored paths made a genuine contribution to this universal historical process. Tatlin was one of the trailblazers of the Russian avant-garde. Considered the originator of Constructivism and proclaiming material, volume and construction to be the foundations of art, Tatlin moved art from the studio to the street, subordinating it to the creation of the utilitarian medium of the twentieth century.
