The paintings and collages of Alberto Gironella are inspired by an eclectic collection of Hispanic and Mexican elements. Velázquez and Goya, Emiliano Zapata and Malcolm Lowry, bullfighting and the films of Luis Buñuel, sardine tins and bottles of anis come together and recur in his work, echoes of what Octavio Paz described as a “rhythmical manifestation or –more precisely– metaphor of obsession.” Based on a retrospective exhibition of the artist’s work, this book offers an ample selection of photographic images together with texts by Paz, Fernando Arrabal, and others, as well as material assembled from Gironella’s personal archives.
