Curatorial context

Ramón Gómez de la Serna, a celebrated Spanish writer and intellectual known for his "Ramonismo," is the focus of this exhibition, "Greguerías ilustradas." Between 1930 and 1935, Gómez de la Serna published a series of illustrated texts, including aphorisms and "greguerías," in the prominent magazine _Blanco y Negro_. These particular works are exceptional within his extensive literary production and the history of press literature due to the inclusion of his own accompanying drawings. The Museo ABC holds a collection of 314 original drawings by Ramón Gómez de la Serna, from which 100 have been carefully selected for this exhibition. The displayed works are arranged chronologically according to their publication date in _Blanco y Negro_. However, in keeping with the spirit of Ramón Gómez de la Serna himself, who eschewed rigid order, the exhibition encourages visitors to explore the collection freely, allowing for personal interpretation and a non-linear experience.
