Cristino de Vera

Light in the painting

Miguel Fernández-Braso interview for the first time to Cristino de Vera on ABC in 1974. From that date the partnership between the two is prolonged in time, especially through the pages of the Magazine of the Arts Guadalimar, founded by Fernández-Braso in 1975. The magazine spread different (and exceptional) exhibitions in which the artist took part at the same time that he commissioned texts on topics of current or on other artists that the magazine published. The first text that you type Cristino de Vera for Guadalimar dates from 1977. Are very difficult years, intense, that are building the foundations of the culture of Democracy: art, of literature, of the cultural policy.
