Estéticas de lo cotidiano: cuatro visiones de la realidad en la pintura española contemporánea

Franquism broght women back home by antifeminist and pro-birth legislation and the weight given to traditional and religious precepts. In this context were brought up 4 artists: Esperanza Parada, Amalia Avia, Maria Moreno and Isabel Quintanilla (all born between the years 1928-1938). They chose figurative language to show their personal vision of reality, and in that way, they participated in the renovation of spanish art thas took place in the sixties. It was a moment in which different styles converged: Abstract expressionism (Grupo El Paso), social realism, and Pop. Through their paintings these artists talk about themselves, sharing everyday life themes with the light and shadows of their historical moment.
