Modern Antiquity: Picasso, de Chirico, Léger, and Picabia in the Presence of the Antique
Daily through January 16, 2012
Museum, Floor 2, Getty Villa
An extraordinary episode in the history of European modernism is the alliance between the avant-garde and the antique. Juxtaposing twentieth-century works with ancient objects, this major international loan exhibition focuses on how four eminent artists reinvented and transformed antiquity between 1905 and 1935. Classicizing creations such as de Chirico's enigmatic piazzas, Picasso's postcubist women, Léger's mechanized nudes, and Picabia's "transparencies" made the arts of antiquity modern. The Getty Villa—a reconstruction of an ancient Roman house—and its antiquities collection provide a unique environment to experience modern art in relation to the classical past.
