Manolo Millares

9 Sep 2026 — 16 Feb 2027 at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía · Madrid
This exhibition brings together works by Manolo Millares (1926–1972), a pioneering figure of Spanish abstract art and a founding member of the El Paso group. Millares is renowned for his visceral, gestural canvases — often executed on sackcloth — that explore themes of suffering, memory, and the human condition. The show offers visitors a rare opportunity to engage with his powerful visual language, shaped by the turbulent social and political climate of mid-twentieth-century Spain.
