The Hypostyle Hall of Spain’s National Library (BNE) is showcasing 'Esteban Lisa. Retornos, Toledo 1895-Buenos Aires, 1983', which exhibits the work and several objects of painter and philosopher Esteban Lisa, who was born in Hinojosa de San Vicente in 1895 and passed away in Buenos Aires in 1983.
Lisa developed his own and absolutely personal visual language within abstraction, and his career was independent from the artistic groups of his generation. Nonetheless, the fact that he never carried out an exhibition, gives his work a secret and intimate dimension, absolutely personal, fascinating and disturbing.
Lisa was a painter, but also a philosopher devoted to aesthetic theory, ethics and modern science, and was the author of 14 books, including Teoria psicofisica cuatridimensional and La teoria de la Cosmovision y la vision de Platon.
Fundacion Esteban Lisa and the BNE collaborate in this display to pay tribute to this Argentinean artist by exhibiting 120 works he created between the 1930 decade and the 1970s, as well as drawings, books and pictures.
