This exhibition with links to the group show that took place in 1962 at the Tate Gallery, in which this disruptive generation presented its new artistic experiments in the UK capital, just as it had done earlier in New York (with exhibitions at the MoMA and the Guggenheim), at documenta in Kassel and at the biennials in Venice, São Paulo and Paris.

These artists shared an urge to seek new forms to express the concerns of their era and to contemporize a legacy expressed in a masterly manner by El Greco, Velázquez and Goya, and also by Picasso and Miró. Through art, they conveyed the existential suffering of their generation, occasioned by the injustice, oppression and uncertainty which defined 20th century politics. This group strived to combat the status quo by speaking out and rebelling against it. They struggled against an artistic canon that was obsolete following the wars of the opening half of the 20th century, with the advent of Art Informel and Abstract Expressionism.

On this occasion, a publication that includes the contributions of Vicenç Altaió [cultural activist and writer and the President of the Joan Brossa Foundation] will be presented, as well as an interview by the curator Elena Sorokina with the artist Luis Feito, the last surviving artist among the ones represented in this exhibition.
