Territorios de diálogo. España, México y Argentina. Entre los realismos y lo surreal 1930-1945

01 de Apr 2006 - 30 de Jun 2006

The collaboration of the Museo Nacional de Arte presented the exhibition Territorios de diálogo. España, México y Argentina. Entre los realismos y lo surreal 1930-1945, formed by artworks that belong to more than 25 institutions and 35 private collections of Mexico, Spain, Argentina, the United States and Cuba. The Museo Nacional de Arte was the inaugural venue of the exhibition, followed by the Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and in the Palacio de la Merced in Córdoba, Spain.

The effort assumed by the institutions of these three cities assured the will to recognize the extent and diversity of the cultural bonds that join our countries. The exile of Spanish philosophers, artists, critics and literates in Mexico and Argentina due to Spanish Civil War encouraged the cultural exchange that was reflected in the artistic field. This was a reunion of paintings, photographs, drawings and graphic works, of the period between wars, in which it was possible to observe the elements that talk about the quality reached in the artistic production of these three countries.
