Pre-Raphaelitism: Women's Journeys, 1850–1914
Pre-Raphaelitism: Women's Journeys, 1850–1914 revisits the movement that emerged in Victorian Britain in the mid-19th century from the perspective of the women artists who contributed to its development. The exhibition explores their different approaches to Pre-Raphaelitism, from their connections with figures like John Ruskin to their search for their own path in a society that limited their opportunities. Paintings and photographs, along with embroideries, enamels, and stained glass, showcase the diverse languages and trajectories of artists such as Elizabeth Siddal, Julia Margaret Cameron, Evelyn De Morgan, May Morris, and Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale. The Other Side of the Avant-Garde explores the relationship between avant-garde art and the works created by psychiatric patients, which sparked the interest of artists in their search for new paths for modern art. The exhibition takes as its starting point Expressions of Madness (1922), by the psychiatrist and art historian Hans Prinzhorn, a pioneering publication that gave visibility and artistic recognition to these creations and questioned the traditional boundaries of art. The exhibition examines the cultural and artistic context in which the book was conceived, its influence on the avant-garde, and the decisive role of its ideas in the emergence of Art Brut. Minor White (Minneapolis, 1908–1976) was a key figure in 20th-century American photography. A photographer, teacher, and co-founder of Aperture magazine, he developed his own photographic language in which images, organized in sequences, acquired a poetic and conceptual dimension. This exhibition, the first retrospective of Minor White's work in Europe, traces the main stages of his career through landscape, portrait, and street photography, paying particular attention to his celebrated photographic sequences. The exhibition is complemented by contact sheets, books, and magazines that also reveal his role as an editor and his crucial contribution to contemporary photography.
