The value of Realisms in Catalonia (1917-1936). From classical Picasso to surrealist Dalí has been mentioned by different media in recent months. Both the national newspapers, radio and television, as well as other media specialized in art and culture have echoed and have granted value to both the expositive speech and the significant list of participating artists. The exhibition features works by Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Joaquim Sunyer, Josep de Togores, Francesc Vayreda, Feliu Elias, Ángeles Santos or Joan Miró, among others. The exhibition, which occupies the ground floor of the Maricel Museum, reflects the return to classicism and realism that Catalan artists, like their European counterparts, developed during the interwar period.
