École Pop Art Espagnole (XX) - Composition collage avec Marilyn Monroe

- Oil and collage elements on board. Signed in the lower right corner.

- This small and vibrant composition stands as an artifact of cultural resistance, a microcosm where Marilyn Monroe naked coexists in a space of absolute irreverence with the most pedestrian everyday life of tardofranquist Spain. In the vein of the Valencian pop schools of the sixties and seventies —heirs to the critical spirit of Equipo Crónica or Equipo Realidad— the work uses collage to demystify icons of mass culture, confronting the erotism of the big screen with the popular aroma of Ideales cigarettes, the “broth” of the worker. The newspaper clippings act as background noise anchoring the piece to a convulsive social reality, while the presence of a peseta coin and the silhouette of a small provincial town introduce a note of nostalgic and biting realism. This piece is not merely an aesthetic exercise; it is a game of tensions where the global and the local, the sublime and the vulgar, clash to question the identity of a nation that, amid the smoke of cheap tobacco and the dreams of celluloid, woke to modernity with a plastic audacity charged with irony and political satire.

It is important to note that the shipping cost prices indicated in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances.

Accordingly, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the artwork will not be considered valid grounds for opening a claim or requesting a cancellation.
