Bruno Munari at the Fundación Juan March

From February 18 to May 22, 2022, the Fundación Juan March in Madrid presents the first retrospective in Spain dedicated to Bruno Munari (Milan, 1907-1998) and the most comprehensive exhibition to date outside Italy on this multidisciplinary artist, mainly known for being one of the most important figures of design and visual communication in the 20th century. Munari sought the essence of art and design to balance rigor and lightness, always using playfulness, humor, and irony. This sort of "Bruno Munari group show" (as he called one of his exhibitions) includes paintings, drawings, sculptures (two and three-dimensional works, as the artist used to refer to them), projections and light games, graphic and industrial design works, typographic exercises and writings, and children's books, among other works.
The selection ranges from his early works linked to futurism and graphic design to his latest experimentations of the 1990s. The exhibition and accompanying publication are produced around the methodological concepts essential to Munari's work: time, method, lightness, experimentation, and contemplation. Nearly 300 works from private collections and public and private institutions are presented.
