Description:
|
|
The work originally stood outside the Spanish Pavilion from the 1937 International Exhibition in Paris. The monolithic monument became part of the Museo Reina Sofía collection after it was found in storage at Barcelona’s Palace of Montjuic in 1986, along with other works from the Servicio de Protección del Patrimonio Artístico (Artistic Heritage Protection Service). Alberto gave the sculpture a "statement-title" to highlight, from a socialist point of view, the drama and pain suffered by a people involved in a Civil War. The work resembles an anthromorphic cactus, its surface grooved to resemble plowed earth. (Source: Museo Reina Sofia [website]; https://www.museorei nasofia.es/en/)
