VAT. Guillem de Castro, 118
With great power comes great responsibility. The donation of work by Ignacio Pinazo that the Generalitat Valenciana received in 1986 It carried with it the commitment to exhibit it at the IVAM permanently or in temporary exhibitions.. and here we are, in a new review of the work of the risky Valencian artist, heterodox and singular who deserved the title of “master” before Joaquín Sorolla. In recent years, The IVAM has mounted exhibitions about Pinazo related to urban crowds in movement or the representation of people in their individual and collective dimensions., but this time he has given a further twist to include his son, José Pinazo Martínez, and his granddaughter, Marisa Pinazo Media, many of whose paintings had never been exhibited to the public. It's more, there is no work of his in any museum, the Reina Sofía guards a drawing and little else.
The aura of a modern saga focuses on the Pinazo family to sequentially show the art of three generations, how they killed the father (metaphorically), They surpassed learned models and evolved stylistically, from naturalism and modernism to the regionalist painting of José or the art deco that permeates Marisa's drawings. So, The exhibition allows us to see again the mastery of Ignacio Pinazo with the brush in his portraits, his Godella landscapes, his mascletàs and his clavariesas, against the idealized manners of José Pinazo, one in which the farmers show off delicate porcelain hands; and some still lifes by Marisa that have assimilated cubist precepts. This time, the three artists of the family take the stage at the IVAM. S.M.
