[HIGHLIGHTS] Abstract art against the farce of a country in misery that believed itself to be an empire

Six dozen creators participated in the colonization towns built by Franco. An exhibition in Madrid remembers the legacy of that experiment in art.

On many occasions, the avant-garde architecture and art of colonization towns coexist with other works of traditional style. The exhibition runs until August 31, 2016.
