Curatorial context

Ramón Gómez de la Serna, a seminal Spanish writer and artist, is celebrated in this exhibition for his unique contributions to the magazine 'Blanco y Negro' between 1930 and 1935. During this period, he published illustrated articles featuring his distinctive 'greguerías'—short, witty observations accompanied by his own hand-drawn illustrations. This series is considered exceptional within his prolific body of work and the broader context of press literature. The Museo ABC holds a significant collection of 314 original drawings by Gómez de la Serna, from which 100 have been carefully selected for this display. The exhibition is arranged chronologically according to the drawings' publication dates in 'Blanco y Negro'. However, in keeping with Gómez de la Serna's unconventional and dynamic spirit, visitors are encouraged to explore the exhibition in a personal, non-linear itinerary, embracing an approach that eschews rigid order.
