The exhibition “Desenfocats. Una altra visió de l'art” at CaixaForum Barcelona delves into blurriness, imprecision, and undefined contours as a visual language. Taking Claude Monet’s Water Lilies as its starting point, the exhibition features more than 70 works by modern and contemporary artists to demonstrate how blurriness can suggest movement, mystery, or instability. Formats such as painting, photography, video, and installation art encourage viewers to look without demanding that everything appear sharp.
This is... good to know
Some works change dramatically depending on the distance. It's worth taking a few steps back and looking again before deciding whether they're blurry or simply require a different perspective.
