The director of the Museum of Natural Sciences of Tenerife (MUNA), María Fátima Hernández Martín, will offer on Wednesday, at 7:00 p.m., the conference titled ‘Nature in painting. Reflections (fantasy and reality) on the work of Óscar Domínguez’.
In his speech he will investigate details of the nature captured in the work of Óscar Domínguez, a figure especially interesting for all those people who research in science, since his work includes a natural heritage of the island, which today is especially vulnerable, and which to him that was familiar to him as it was linked to stages of his childhood and youth.
On Saturday, at 12:00, Juan Manuel Bonet will give the presentation ‘Like an island on the horizon: the Lancelot of Agustín Espinosa and that of Óscar Domínguez’.
In it, the writer and art and literature critic will address the relationship between two key works of the Canarian avant-garde tradition: the creationist poetic work of Agustín Espinosa, Lancelot 28º-7º and the painting of the cosmic period by Óscar Domínguez, Lancelot.
The exhibition ‘Óscar Domínguez. The conquest of the world through the image’, curated by the curator of the TEA Collection, Isidro Hernández, presents a set of paintings from the 1930s, his best period, with more than a dozen unpublished works, from international private collections and loans from some Spanish institutions, including ‘El Drago de Canarias’ and ‘Cueva de Guanches’, which are added to the works in the TEA Collection.
This exhibition can be visited for free until this Sunday, from Tuesday to Sunday and on holidays, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
