This exhibition, held at La Galería de ABC in Seville, brings together works from the Caja Rural del Sur and ABC collections to offer an artistic vision of the Andalusian countryside. It explores the historical significance of agriculture and livestock, the essence of rural life, and its cultural traditions through the eyes of nearly fifty artists.
"EL CAMPO ANDALUZ en las Colecciones de Caja Rural del Sur y ABC" delves into the profound human and cultural significance of the Andalusian countryside. The exhibition highlights how agriculture and livestock have been foundational to human civilization, driving technological development, sustenance, and trade. It emphasizes that the countryside is more than just a place; it is a vibrant culture inhabited by people who have shaped its character and traditions throughout history. The exhibition presents a dialogue between historical artists such as Romero de Torre, Lozano Sidro, and Ángel Díaz Huertas, who intimately depicted their rural surroundings, and contemporary perspectives from artists like José Caballero and Moreno Galván. Together, nearly fifty artists offer suggestive images of a rural world that was and, in some cases, still is, reflecting on the lives of its inhabitants, the images we cherish, and what has been gained or lost in the evolving relationship between humanity and the land that sustains us.
