Discover the book Compagnons de lutte. Avant-garde et critique d'art en Espagne pendant le franquisme, published on January 26, 2023 in the "Passages" collection of Éditions de la MSH.

During Franco's dictatorship (1939-1975), changes in artistic practices and theoretical discourses had a decisive influence on the Spanish avant-garde. In the last years of the regime, art criticism played a central role in the formation of political resistance. Paula Barreiro López provides a pioneering analysis of aesthetic and ideological debates in Spain in the transnational context of the Cold War. Based on unpublished archival documents, Companions of Struggle reveals the artistic and intellectual circles of the left fighting against Francoism.
