Rendón preached, "the task of the painter is to organize the possibilities that are offered to him." The work of Manuel Rendón is vast and has greatly influenced generations of master artists throughout Latin America and Europe, such as Antoni Tàpies, Antonio Saura, Enrique Tábara, Estuardo Maldonado, Carlos Catasse, Félix Arauz, Aníbal Villacís, Oswaldo Viteri and Theo Constanté, to name a few.
From Cubism to the School of Paris, from Nouveau réalisme to Supports/Surfaces, the collections of the Museum shows the intense relationship between the city of Céret and some of the major artists of the twentieth century: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Chaim Soutine, Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, Auguste Herbin, Henri Matisse, Miró, Antoni Tàpies, Claude Viallat, and Toni Grand.
The art gallery takes up the entire first floor of the building and includes works of art from painters related to Llavaneres, such as Masriera, Tolosa, Vancells and Opisso, and Catalan contemporary painters such as Ràfols-Casamada, Antoni Clavé, Antoni Tàpies or Guinovart.
This was prompted by the artist’s interest in the work of Eduardo Chillida, Esteban Vicente, Antoni Tàpies, Albert Ràfols-Casamada, Franz Kline and Joan Miró.
