The beauty of seeing blurry

When a photograph comes out blurry, it is often considered a failed image. But what if the lack of sharpness could also be a form of artistic expression? This is the idea proposed by Blurred. Another Vision of Art, the new exhibition at CaixaForum Barcelona —produced in collaboration with the Musée de l'Orangerie—, which invites us to rethink the value of blur and imprecision as an artistic language. The exhibition starts from Claude Monet's iconic images of water lilies, which opened the door to this technique in modern art, but brings together up to 77 works by 58 artists. From painting and photography to sculpture and video, with names like Turner, Mark Rothko, and Alberto Giacometti. An exhibition that challenges the idea of visual perfection and proposes another way of looking, even if the images are not entirely clear.
