The idea embodied. The sculptor Miquel Blay

The Museu Nacional shows a selection of drawings and photographs around The First Cold, one of most representatives works of Miquel Blay

To the statues The First Cold and Pursuing the Dream, which are already on view, we added a selection of drawings, photographs and a magazine from the Library to make a little intervention and get back the memory of a personality that helped to consolidate the practice of sculpture as a creative activity assimilating the principals of the symbolist movement. As one of the acts to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Miquel Bay’s birth (Olot, 1866 – Madrid, 1936), the museum has also lent some pieces to the two main exhibitions in Catalunya in honour of the centenary, Miquel Blay, sentiment olotí in the Museu de la Garrotxa, Olot (from 3/9/2016 to 15/1/2017) and Miquel Blay, el camí de l'èxit in the Museu d'Art de Girona (from 3/12/2016 to 17/4/2017), both of which belong to the Xarxa de Museus d’Art.
