Inaugurated the new exposition of César
Manrique: "César Manrique. It’s a pleasure"
César
Manrique is the soul
of Lanzarote
and it’s very linked to the life of Lanzarote’s inhabitants. Due to the
centenary celebration since its birth, this year is loaded with commemorative
events. Among them, last October the 30th, the king Felipe VI attended the
inauguration of the new exposition of César Manrique: "César Manrique. It’s
a pleasure".
The
monarch, who visited Lanzarote for the first time since his designation, didn’t
want to miss this relevant exhibition.
The
event took place at 12.00 by César Manrique Fundation of Lanzarote, that was
open to the public since 7 of the same afternoon.
A big exposition
The
exposition counts with more than 400 pictures about the life of the
artist. It’s focused on his professional
and also personal life.
To
complete the exposition, the visitor can enjoy a total of 17 audivisuals,
including 10 testimonials documentaries about Manrique, in which different
carachters of the cultural world, expose their feelings about the artist.
On
the other side, by the exposition you can appreciate different works splitted
in the different rooms of his house Taro de Tahíche. Among them, paintings of Manrique,
ceramics designed by him in the 1950s, reproductions of his carnival masks and
many other personal effects.
The
artist's personal objects and reminders of other previous exhibitions will also
be exposed.
Manrique close to the visitor
The
aim of this new exhibition is to bring
the visitor closer to the process of building Manrique as a public figure.
Although the artist wanted to be recognized as a painter, his artistic gifts
made him a mediatic icon.
Manrique was a very mediatic artist,
who anticipated new artistic expressions. According to the words of the
director of the César Manrique Foundation: "Manrique developed an aesthetic of pleasure that transformed art into
life and life into the art of living."
