El cos revelat. Col·lecció Victoria Combalia

An exhibition of works from Victoria Combalia's collection on the representation of the body in drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, collage and graphic works, held at the Fundació Palau de Barcelona.

The exhibition brings together a selection of pieces from Victoria Combalia's collection focused on how the human body has been represented throughout much of the twentieth century. The route through the rooms combines drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, collage and graphic works, so that different languages can be compared in relation to a single motif. The Fundació Palau, in Barcelona, is the venue hosting this display.

Among the currents present are Dada, Surrealism, conceptual art, pop art, Informalism and contemporary photography. The artists included range from Man Ray, Georges Hugnet, André Masson, Dora Maar, Clovis Prévost and Erró, to Antonio Saura, Antoni Tàpies, Joan Brossa, Eduardo Arroyo, Miquel Barceló, Jaume Plensa and Alberto García Alix. The works show the different perspectives of several generations and movements on the human figure.

The collection was formed through intensive research and a constant interest in contemporary art. The visit is especially suitable for those who wish to follow the history of twentieth-century art and the different ways of looking at the body.
