Colección 1. La irrupción del siglo XX: utopías y conflictos (1900 - 1945)

In response to the revolutionary nature of the avant-garde, the decades of the 1920's and the 1930's witness a number of returns, which involve a complex rereading of traditional genres. During the 30's, the avant-garde integrates experimentation and construction, the individual and the collective, becoming a poetic form of rewriting the present. Faced with the threat of Fascism, and its dogmatic version of history, there appears a link between the avant-garde and politics, which culminates in the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 World Fair in Paris, and with Pablo Picasso's Guernica.
