Once upon a time. Four important words to mark the beginning of human beings’ vital needs: to tell stories.  By way of words, texts or images, real events or fantasies materialize, like real life.

The plastic arts of the last fifty years are not exempt from that fundamental search that brings us innovations in form and content.  A face, a landscape, or a denunciation often transmits stories that always have a beginning although they almost never propose an ending.  As with so many other things, twentieth century man has been orphaned from certainties...

Each wrinkle in the face of Francisco Cuadrado’s peasant woman is a chapter of her miserable life.  Agustín Ibarrola’s serene rebelliousness brings the enemies of peace face to face with their own contradictions. In a tone of heterodox conventionality, Antonio Saura and Eduardo Arroyo twist the space-time sequence to satirize our basest passions with metaphors as the dog and the cat.

In autumn Arteselección proposes a tour of the most madly narrative imagination. There are a dozen stories. Come and hear them.
