Saura in his context

This exhibition, organized in conjunction with Enrique Juncosa, presents six very characteristic works by Antonio Saura (1930-1998), one of the most important Spanish artists of the 20th century, in dialogue with six pieces by artists who were his contemporaries: Eduardo Chillida, Juana Francés, Manolo Millares, Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpies and Manolo Valdés. They all resumed the transgressive guiding theme of the vanguards from before the Spanish Civil War, and added a spirit of political commitment to this vision. The works presented cover the period from 1959 to 1990.
