Realists of Madrid

Realists of Madrid

The Thyssen Museum is home to an exhibition of around 75 works focusing on a historic group of artists encompassed by the realist movement, who lived and developed their artistic work in Madrid, featuring prominent figures such as the painter Antonio López. This group of painters and sculptors of the same generation have lived and worked in Madrid since the 1950s and are united by their early training, their work and their personal and family ties: Antonio López García, María Moreno Julio and Francisco López Hernández, Esperanza Parada, Isabel Quintanilla and Amalia Avia.


The display has a thematic structure and includes oil paintings, sculptures, reliefs and drawings, leading visitors from the domestic to the public; from the still life to the city; from the close-up, the small-scale and the near at hand to large formats and panoramic urban views. This is a thematic survey of the themes which all these artists depict: still lifes, domestic interiors, streets and coutyards, the human figure an the city of Madrid.


The exhibition is divided into three blocks: From still life to the window, Courtyard and street and The figure, which reveal the communalities shared by these artists on loan from private collections, the artists themselves, or international institutions.
