Necessity of Abstraction

An in-depth understanding of contemporary art provides a crucial insight into the culture which it reflects. In our ‘Painting of the 20th Century’ experience, our specialized art guides will bring into a deeper knowledge of the artists – and their works. As part of our itinerary, we will trace the footsteps of Picasso, Miró and Tàpies and the renowned ‘Dalí Triangle’ formed by the verdant Empordà countryside. But these experiences intend to be as faithful as interactive, so we’ll expect from our participants a high degree of involvement. We’ll dispose all the set-up for them, in order to emulate the great abstract Masters... Shall they achieve it?

Se trata de un indispensable paseo por la arquitectura actual.
