Los esquizos de Madrid

Carlos Alcolea, Chema Cobo, Carlos Franco, Luis Gordillo, Sigfrido Martín Begué, Herminio Molero, Guillermo Pérez Villalta, Luis Pérez-Mínguez, Rafael Pérez-Mínguez, Manolo Quejido and Javier Utray are the protagonists of this selection of works which deal with the complex cultural and social environment in Madrid at the end of Franco’s rule and the first years of the democracy.

This exhibition, organised by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, contributes to the definitive historiographical record of the group of artists who made up the so-called New Madrid Figuratism. After forty years, it is important to evaluate what the New Madrid Figuratism movement and its key members signified, as well as shortening distances, often more metaphysical than geographical, between Madrid and Barcelona.

The presentation of the exhibition by Fundació Suñol allows its geographical reach to be widened to other publics and regions, who have the opportunity to get to know what that period meant in depth, both from a social and an artistic point of view.
