Fleur Barron & Kunal Lahiry

In our first collaboration with the Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid, we present this recital by mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron, this year's resident artist, and Kunal Lahiry, one of LIFE Victoria's regular pianists. The two American artists will offer a repertoire based on the exhibition that will be on display at the Museum at that time, featuring Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, and other contemporary American expressionists, following LIFE Victoria's approach of fostering dialogue between different arts. In this case, with a prestigious partner like the Thyssen for the official launch of the season in Madrid. Warhol's work, today so popular and almost commercial, was a fierce struggle and an acidic critique of the rampant consumerism in the United States during the fifties and sixties. For his part, Pollock, who invented the action painting technique and was named “the most important living painter in History,” had to battle his bipolar disorder, which led him to alcoholism and accidental death. of dialogue between different arts.
