In this book we become aware of an artistic Galicia which reflects the Spanish duality after the end of the Civil War, between a contained internal situation and the cultural exile. Many of these artists lived this dual situation between their own countries and different American ones. On the one hand, we witness the renewal of the so-called expresionists of the estética do granito (“granite aesthetics”) (Seoane, Díaz Pardo...), on the other hand we witness the development of surrealist poetics with Eugenio Fernández Granell and Urbano Lugrís.
