Jorge Oteiza and the Moreno Galván brothers: Influences from the Jondo in an Aesthetic Approach to Art

Abstract

The experiences shared by Jorge Oteiza and the brothers José María Moreno Galván and Francisco Moreno Galván enable us to explore a shared interest between the sculptor, the art critic, and the painter and poet. This interest is jondo, which appears in Jorge Oteiza's Objective Aesthetics, in José María Moreno Galván's art criticism, and in Francisco Moreno Galván's creations and approaches. Delving into the relationship between these figures of Spanish art allows us to locate the origin, note the influences and understand the meaning of this unique designation that serves to describe the specific aesthetic qualities of creation: jondo art.
