PICASSO MINOTAURO

TEXTS Paloma Esteban Leal & Sylvie Vautier

ILL color/ duotone PAGES 240 COVER paperback SIZE 29 x 24 cm

PUBLISHED BY Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and Aldeasa 2000

LANGUAGES Spanish-English

As has been stated many times, the Minotaur is surely Picasso's alter ego, the character that reflects his varying states of mind during an especially complicated period, given the changes in his private life. Yet as well as being Picasso's alter ego, the Minotaur is also one of the fundamental themes of his work, replete with symbolism, meaning and mystery. Inseparable from bullfighting motifs in general, the Picasso Minotaur combines elements proceeding from the cult of Mithras - a Persian god who is usually shown sacrificing a bull - with the Minoan legend itself and the Spanish bullfighting tradition.

"Space must be conceived in terms of plastic volume, instead of being fixed with the help of lines onto the imaginary surface of the paper. I am unable to imagine it other than in three dimensions. That is the way form acquires its structure." Chillida has not only dedicated himself to the construction of large-scale public works, but also small works and an immense trail of graphic works and thousands of drawings.

The works of Antoni Tàpies shown in this catalogue, a retrospective of his pictorial work, constitute a magnificent reflection of the artistic vision of the creator regarding both the nature of materials and their transformation. The artist's textures, ever seeking appearance, and the symbolism of the wall carry us to a conception both rich and profound in interpretations.

After sixty years as an artist, Louise Bourgeois has become a special case in the history of art, a case that unites the legend of her strong personality, of her frank attitude to the social conventions that threaten to sterilise art, and her works. Bourgeois has stated that "architecture has to be an object of our memory, and that memory is a form of architecture". That is why her work can be seen as an attempt to build a house, the house of fear, desire and hope for life.

This catalogue focuses on the process of artistic transformation which took place when a group of European Surrealists were forced in exile during World War II and sought refuge in New York. While their presence in the city actes as a catalyst to young American artists, their own art was to undergo far-reaching changes as they reacted to their new environment. Among the refugees were André Breton, Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Roberto Matta.

Simplicity and austerity are the laws governing Campano's canvases. Their unfolding has given rise, during this recent phase, to the creation of a large-format body of work that employs other colors apart from the ever-present black and white, and which seeks to bind the spectator's gaze to a monumental structure, at times architectonic in size and meaning.

Zush defines himself as a "psycho-manual-digital" artist, because "I have ideas, I have a body and afterwards I have a digital range." This catalogue brings together 300 works that have accompanied him during the last 30 years; paintings, sculpture, drawings... A fascination for the aesthetic of the organs of the body can be seen in his oeuvre. He participated in the Kassel Documenta show in 1977.
