Descripción de la Exposición

The Trajectory of Dreams: scaping reality Mayoral presents a museum-quality booth with pieces by Calder, Cuixart, Dalí, Magritte, Miró, Picasso, Ponç and Villèlia inspired by the book Trajectoire du rêve written by André Breton and published by Guy Lévis-Mano in 1938. The world of dreams has always caused a great fascination and it has fascinated humanity all throughout its history and all over the planet, creating the need to give an explanation to something intangible and tangible at the same time; intangible in the palpable reality, but tangible for the sleeping mind. The fascination for dreams experienced a turning point at the beginning of the 20th century after the publication of The Interpretation of Dreams, by Sigmund Freud (1900), a fundamental work of reference that marked definitively the scientific, philosophical, literary, poetic and artistic meaning of the word. The surrealists, who had adopted the concept of dream as life philosophy around which ... many of the principles of the movement revolved, undertook a journey of no return into the oneiric world. In 1938 André Breton, known as the father of Surrealism, made a selection of texts and artworks related to dreams, published by Guy Lévis- Mano with the title of Trajectoire du rêve. This anthology included the visual and written dreams of the selected authors, a fact that claimed the existence of another reality which would allow them to withdraw from their historical context. The new reality is close to imagination, to automatism, to impulse and, above all, it is strongly linked to love and dreaming, the great concepts par excellence. The adoption of the dream as a leitmotiv responded to the Surrealists' desire to escape reality and break away with its social, moral and conventional norms. The works we present at Masterpiece London 2016 are the perfect reflection of how Miró, Dalí and the rest of artists whose pieces we exhibit here had a permanent contact with the world of dreams all through their lives, each one in his own way, but with a point in common: freedom, the freedom given by that which is intangible associated to the human mind, the imagination, the dream, either when one is awake or asleep. The highlight of this exhibition is Miró's drawing Personages and Birds in the Night created in 1942. "Following Miró's Studio project, Mayoral comes to London with another curated and artistic proposal offering different ways to look at art" affirms Eduard Mayoral.
