Picasso, Miró, Dalí – Making Worlds

From 11 December 2026 to 14 February 2027, the historic Villa Ciani in Lugano will host an exhibition dedicated to three leading figures of twentieth-century art. Featuring nearly 200 works, including prints, engravings, lithographs, drawings, ceramics and illustrated books, the exhibition explores the affinities and contrasts between three creative universes that profoundly transformed the language of modern art. From Picasso’s exploration of the human figure and space, through Miró’s poetic imagery, to Dalí’s dreamlike visions, the exhibition reveals art’s ability to transcend the boundaries of reality and give shape to new ways of seeing the world. A highlight of the exhibition is the complete cycle of one hundred illustrations created by Dalí for Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, presented in its entirety in Lugano for the first time. This journey through experimentation, imagination and artistic freedom invites visitors to explore the distinctive visual languages of these three masters and discover how their work helped redefine twentieth-century art.
