The MIRA Cultural Space in Pozuelo de Alarcón hosts an exhibition dedicated to Antonio Mingote featuring 135 original pieces. The show traces his career from early cartoons to recent creations, showcasing his evolution as a draftsman and his critical perspective on society. A representative selection of his artistic legacy.
The creative process behind ink and paper 🖋️
The exhibition allows an analysis of Mingote's technique: firm stroke, precise composition, and a mastery of black and white that required little correction. His cartoons show a work of synthesis where each line serves a narrative function. The museum layout required specific lighting and conservation controls to protect the originals, some over sixty years old, ensuring their readability without damaging the support.
The exhibition politicians wouldn't dare to draw 🎭
Seeing 135 of Mingote's works together is like receiving 135 slaps of wisdom with drawings. The humorist portrayed the political class with such precision that some visitors might feel identified. Of course, no one has requested the removal of any cartoon for being offensive, proving that Pozuelo's sense of humor remains intact, or that those targeted haven't visited the exhibition.
