Luis Gordillo's painting is being honoured
As the Velazquez prize for fine arts was given to the Spanish painter Luis Gordillo, on Wednesday, April 25th, Juan Bufill takes the opportunity to give us a glimpse of his art . "'Gordillism' is a joyful neurosis, a colour range that has become rare, a way of wiping out through the saturation of tones, a personal version of surrealism that incorporates elements of pop art and, above all, an almost psychedelic sense of humour based on freedom of thought and poetic delirium. ... The joy of being free and lucid allows him to compensate for the infectious anxieties of a social panorama. Gordillo's legacy is a psych-pop art that can be compared to the music of Talking Heads, which sounds as if it were made today while it is actually being copied by the young."

A show in Madrid for the Russian avant-garde
The journalist Juan Bufill is in raptures over the exhibition dedicated to the Russian avant-garde at Madrid's Thyssen museum. "Between 1907 and 1930 we saw forms and ideas emerge in Russia that played a determining role in the visual arts of the XXth century, in pictorial abstraction, minimalism, Arte Povera or pop art. One feels extraordinary pleasure in contemplating five works by Malevich that represent the essence of Suprematism, or the works of Rodchenko, who was equally at ease as a colourist, or in composing a visual music in a field of superimposed grey stars. ... All this was subsequently crushed by the paranoid dictatorship."
