The Schizos of Madrid. Madrid’s Figurative Movement in the 1970s

2009

This exhibition, organised by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, contributed to the definitive historiographical record of the group of artists who made up the so-called New Madrid Figuratism. Fundació Suñol contributed with artworks by the artists Chema Cobo, Luis Gordillo, Herminio Molero, Guillermo Pérez Villalta and Manolo Quejido. After forty years, it was important to evaluate what the New Madrid Figuratism movement and its key members signified, as well as shortening the distance, often more metaphysical than geographical, between Madrid and Barcelona.

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