The National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina, will present a new session of its 'Obras en diálogo' cycle on Sunday, August 11, at 4 pm, bringing together works by Pablo Picasso and Henry Moore for close comparison. The museum says the discussion will examine 'Mujer acostada' (1931) by Picasso and 'Figura reclinada, formas externas' (1953-1954) by Moore, with an emphasis on the differences and affinities between the two artists.
The event is scheduled to run from 4 pm to 6 pm in Buenos Aires, according to the museum’s announcement. It is part of a recurring series rather than a standalone exhibition, and the notice frames the session as an opportunity to look at two sculptures from distinct moments in 20th-century art through direct dialogue.
Picasso’s 'Mujer acostada' dates to 1931, while Moore’s 'Figura reclinada, formas externas' was made between 1953 and 1954. The pairing places two modern artists in conversation across more than two decades, with the museum highlighting both their differences and their shared ground. No further program details were provided in the announcement.
The National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina, based in Buenos Aires, is one of the country’s principal art institutions and regularly uses its programming to draw connections between works in its collection. 'Obras en diálogo' is presented as a format for focusing attention on individual objects and the relationships between them, rather than on a broad survey exhibition.
In this session, the museum will center the discussion on the formal and historical interplay between the two works, both of which are identified in the announcement by title and date. The meeting time and works selected are the only details publicly specified in the notice, which directs visitors to the museum for the encounter on August 11.
