The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum and the Berggruen Museum in Berlin present a visual and intellectual dialogue between Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Paul Klee (1879-1940), two visionary artists who transformed modern art forever. Their successive, often antagonistic but equally revolutionary approaches, which led them to deconstruct reality through a radically different artistic language, forever changed how contemporary man sees and engages with the world.
The exhibition also highlights the affinities between the two museums, both public institutions created after the acquisition of private collections. Heinz Berggruen (1914-2007), an influential 20th-century art dealer and collector, and his contemporary, the magnate Hans Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza (1921-2002), shared a desire to create museums so that the works they had amassed over decades would be properly preserved for posterity and enjoyed by the public.
The exhibition and its catalogue are structured in four sections dedicated to the themes and genres that both Picasso and Klee worked on, which include some paintings from the Thyssen, to emphasize the link that exists between the two collections: Portraits and masks, Places, Objects and Harlequins and nudes.
