HISTORICAL PAINTINGS

This is one of the subdivisions of "The Paintings Section from Davis Museum Barcelona" (www.davismuseum.com) explores how Davis Lisboa redefines historical painting through photography, reimagining images of Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou, and Marcel Broodthaers with their iconic works. By converting archival photographs into contemporary paintings, Lisboa interrogates the 20th-century decline of painting amid the dominance of photography and cinema. His works reclaim painting’s narrative power, bridging past and present while honoring the transformative legacies of these visionary artists.
