The Fundació Joan Miró and the Fundación BBVA present the exhibition MiróMatisse: Beyond Images with the support of the Musée Matisse Nice.

The first exhibition in Spain to consider the relationship between these two artists and the first opportunity to view such a large number of works by Matisse since the survey exhibition at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in 2009, it questions initial stereotypes and highlights the similarities and connections between the two artists, despite their differences in age and artistic style. It brings together works from prestigious international collections, among them the MoMA in New York, the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Musée de Grenoble and Musée des Beaux-Arts in Belgium.

In keeping with Miró's thinking and his commitment to new and diverse art, the program will also promote the work of local, up-and-coming artists, as well as a new concept of more participative activities for visitors.
