En Sevilla – Dibujantas: A Landmark Exhibition of Pioneering Female Illustrators and Spanish Graphic Art

This exhibition, 'EN SEVILLA – DIBUJANTAS: pioneras de la ilustración', showcases the works of key female illustrators who contributed to the publications Blanco y Negro and ABC from 1891 to the late 1990s. It highlights their significant role in Spanish illustration and their professional contributions.

The exhibition 'EN SEVILLA – DIBUJANTAS: pioneras de la ilustración' presents a comprehensive collection of works by 41 female illustrators who contributed to the historical Spanish publications Blanco y Negro and ABC. Curated by Marta González Orbegozo and Josefina Alix, the exhibition draws from the ABC Collection to highlight the crucial role these women played in the professionalization of illustration and their impact on Spanish art and culture. The exhibition is organized into four chronological sections, beginning with early 20th-century pioneers like Mme. Gironella, moving through the "first modernity" of the 1920s and 30s with artists such as a.t.c., Viera Sparza, and Delhy Tejero. It continues with illustrators from the post-war period in the 1950s and 60s, including Coti and Menchu Gal, and concludes with "new airs" from the 1970s onwards, reflecting social and technical transformations with artists like Adriana Exeni and Mar Ferrero. The exhibition aims to bring these artists' careers and lives to public attention, encouraging further research and repositioning their valuable contributions.
