Picasso. Tauromaquia
February 26 - May 23, 2010 Museo de Arte Abstracto Español de Cuenca, Cuenca
Picasso was commissioned by the publisher Gustavo Gili to illustrate the manual Tauromaquia o el arte de torear by Pepe Hillo. In the late 1950s, and after having attended a particularly magisterial bullfight in Arles, he created these 26 etchings, belonging to the Juan March art collection. Picasso depicts the different stages of the bullfight in a rapid, sketchy manner as if recording them directly from life.

HENRY MOORE. Graphic work
December 18, 2009 - February 14, 2010 Museo de Arte Abstracto Español de Cuenca, Cuenca
Three series of prints – "Meditations on the Effigy", "Elephant Skull", and "La poésie" - by Henry Moore, considered the most important British sculptor of the 20th century. In these series Moore explored the themes that most interested him: the reclining female nude, mother and child figures, and studies of animals and other animate objects. Moore had depicted these subjects in his sculptures but in the second half of his long life he increasingly represented them in drawings and prints, the latter being the least known area of his oeuvre.
