Modern Spanish Art from the Asociación Colección Arte Contemporáneo juxtaposes the modern art collection of the Meadows Museum in Dallas with works from the Museo del Patio Herreriano in Valladolid (Spain). This exhibition has been organized to demonstrate the most important aspects of Spanish modern art, ranging from the best known examples to unknown or often overlooked artists, and is comprised of 95 works from 55 artists, drawn along a chronological arc between 1915 and 1963.
The exhibition features major works by Spain's most renowned modern painters, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, as well as important drawings by Salvador Dalí. These will be exhibited in dialogue with artists of a wider aesthetic register: their colleagues and contemporaries who contributed to the Modernist movement such as Juan Gris, Antoni Tàpies, Julio González, Óscar Domínguez, Joaquín Torres-García, and Eduardo Chillida; all essential benchmarks in the historiography and museography of twentieth-century art.
