Mazarrón remembers local artist Miguel García Vivancos (28/11/2018)

García Vivancos was an outstanding naïf-style painter, internationally recognized.

His paintings hung on walls of rooms of great people like Fraçois Mitterand

The Museum of Fine Arts of Murcia (MUBAM) hosted this Wednesday the presentation of the exhibition that the City of Mazarrón has organized, through the Department of Culture and the Popular University, to publicize the work of a born painter in Mazarrón in 1895 and that years later would become one of the most relevant artists of the näif style.

The exhibition will be inaugurated next Friday, November 30 in the exhibition hall of the Popular University on the Constitution Avenue of Mazarrón and will be on view until January 18.

A worker of humble origins and committed to the rights of workers, he led an intense life that culminated in his final stage dedicated to the world of art.

Once mature, Miguel García Vivancos began to display his skills with brushes.

From his first exhibition in the mid-twentieth century, his work traveled to galleries in Paris, Basel, Rome, Rabat or Zagreb.

His paintings hung on the walls of rooms of great people like François Mitterand, while he went unnoticed by the general public.

He returned to live his last days in Cordoba and with him he brought his concerns and everything he learned in Gallic lands with great masters of painting.

The presentation of this Wednesday has had the presence of Pedro Martinez, Councilor for Culture of the Popular University of Mazarrón, José María López, director of the Popular University and Darío Vigueras, curator of the exhibition.

The mayor of Mazarrón, Alicia Jiménez, has encouraged all Murcia to visit Mazarrón during the next few days to enjoy their parties, their cuisine and also their rich cultural agenda, visiting an exhibition of the caliber that is dedicated to Miguel García Vivancos.
