Picasso Memory and Desire exhibitions in Malaga

In the 1920s and 1930s, European society developed by intertwining powerful and dramatic paradoxes. The devastating implementation of colonialism continued, and extreme nationalism would eventually lead lethally from one war to another. Despite this, many men and women transformed their mindsets and social values towards liberating emancipation. Modern Art spread across broad social circles and at the same time, began to be questioned by emerging authoritarian political regimes. The dialectic between permanence and change was incessant. The present repositioned the memory of a past that remained implicated in everyday life. However, new ways of life and thought propelled a continuous desire for transformation. Memory and desire.

The myth of technical and scientific progress raised doubts, but this did not prevent the strong promotion of continuous self-analysis and the aspiration to revise inherited identities. The subject wanted to redefine itself. Surrealism –not without contradictions– widely permeated the entire creative environment. The dynamic relationship between memory and desire showed that the present was not a stopped moment, but a continuous flow of interactions. The complex dialogue between everything experienced and everything yet to be lived was the engine of existence. Memory was not just an archive of the past: it was reactivated and became contemporary in response to the demands of desire.
