The exhibition, at the Pedrera, includes paintings, drawings and pieces of arquitectons (architecture-sculpture) as will as books, showing the life and work of the artist, who was influenced at the beginning by the impressionism, symbolism and fauvism movements (1906-1910), had some neoprimitivism stages (1910-1914) and developed the suprematism (1914-1927) for ending with the return to the figurism (1924-1934).
