Valencia

The Museu de Belles Arts de València has mourned artist Manolo Boix, who lived from 1942 to 2026.

‘Sant Bru’ (1973) is identified as one of the works in the collection. In the work, Boix transforms Saint Bruno, a symbol of silence and contemplation, into an allegory of oppression and censorship during the final years of Franco’s dictatorship.

The museum preserves eight works by Manuel Boix in its collection. In 1995, IVAM dedicated an exhibition to Boix alongside Artur Heras and Rafael Armengol.

IVAM mourned Valencian artist Manolo Boix. The message was issued as a farewell marked by particular sadness.

Curator Ana Diéguez-Rodríguez has selected three works in 'Rubens. El florecimiento de un genio' by three painters who had a relationship with Rubens.
