Through the work of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Francisco de Goya, the Picasso Museum in Malaga ventures into the territory of the grotesque as an aesthetic category at different times throughout the history of Western art.
Over 250 works by creators such as Leonardo da Vinci, Francisco de Goya, James Ensor, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Otto Dix, Willem de Kooning and Francis Bacon will attempt to explain to visitors what is the grotesque. Sometimes described as exaggerated, sometimes equated with deformity, and at others with satire and even with incongruity... The collection of these pieces offers an artist's view of the world, a mindset expressed in very different ways over the course of time.
