This catalogue was published to coincide with an exhibition of work by Valencian artists held at the Spanish National Tourist Office in New York.
Román de la Calle highlighted the diversity of the visual arts scene in Valencia, though he argued that it was debatable whether it was fully represented in the exhibition and lamented certain absences. Among other reflections, he observed how social reality motivated a dual introspection: on one hand, an objective one, in which the very elements used in painting—texture, gesture, graphic mark, colour, etc.—become the core artistic concern and preference of many artists; and on the other, a subjective one, where the artist’s individuality opens up to a world of its own.
Enric Alfons presented two works from his Fetitxes series in this exhibition.
