Exhibit explores Barcelona by Gregory Jensen United press International think of cities that have shaped today s world and Barcelona Spain does t leap instantly to mind. A major new London exhibition contends that it should. Homage to Barcelona is a rare attempt of transport one City to another. What justifies it is Barcelona s uniquely formative contribution to the Way we see hear and even live. Pablo Picasso Juan Miro and Salvador Dall spent their Early years in Barcelona and their paintings had an incalculable effect on Art design and even advertising. Mies Van Der Rohe s famous and influential Barcelona chair was first shown in a Pavilion he built for a Barcelona fair. The City spawned musicians like Manuel de Falla Isaac Albenzi Enri Granados and Paul Pablo Casals. A Avo nil Barcelona originated a Rich flamboyant architecture which it called modern so and which everyone else came to Call Art Nouveau thai exp Sherant style of curves and excesses has an indirect influence on buildings even now. Barcelona s greatest architect was Antony or Antonio Gaudy. His swirling phantasmagoric buildings sometimes coated with broken crockery full of bulbous bulge and Slinky curves Are All but impossible to describe. They Are Ako impossible to transport. The major problem with homage to Barcelona a City and Sis Art 1888-1936 is that London s Hayward gallery cannot display buildings. Paintings Are therein plenty Early and late works by Picasso Dali and Miro plus an exhaustive Range of two generations of their contemporaries. Picasso spent he formative artistic years in Barcelona and one intriguing item in the show is a 1901 charcoal portrait showing Picasso As a solemn fresh faced lad. Sculpture studs the gallery and shares floor space with a few pieces of sensuous furniture including an astonishing marquetry Sola Cabinet combination circa 1904. But architecture is the Queen of the show As to is of the City and she is displayed by proxy in photographs floor plans occasional details from actual buildings and a seven screen slide show. Barcelona s mor Fern a a school includes a surprising number of architects most of whom Are unknown. The undoubted Star is saudi an iconoclast who hated All schools and loathed the modernists says the show catalogue. Gaudi s unique Genius cannot be Pigeon holed. According to the catalogue he created Only eight principal works yet no one else could even have imagined let alone created any one of them. The show s most astonishing architectural display is a walk through cutaway Mode of Gaudi s incredible Sagrada Familia sacred family Church. The architect Faid the foundation Stone for the Structure in 1b82 and finished Only one of its four towers before he was hit by a Tram and killed in 1926. Construction teams now working on the Church estimate it probably will Lake another 300 years to Complete. Encrusted with hundreds of sculptures shaped in natural forms like Waves and Sand dunes and stalactites the Sagrada fam Tia has slab Halo or a Jamr Caudis Sagrada Zimita in Barcelona. Been called Ever thing from one of the most hideous buildings in the world to a poem in Stone and one of the world s most extraordinary  understandably the exhibition and its 320-Page catalogue simply show Gaudi s works without trying to explain hem catalogue essayist i Gratsi de Sola Morales says Gauci was liberating form to the limits of play which gets close. Perhaps inevitably the confined Hayward Caffery fails to faring the City much to life. The exhibition s focus on paintings and sculpture is broadened by a complementary London wide program of events on Barcelona s music theater dance and poetry vet the comprehensive show running until feb. 23, deserves to Fae seen More widely. For London is not the Only City that owes a great debt to Barcelona and its singular Cement of artistic originality
