MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS. Saint Pius V, 9
With the exhibition Adsura, Vicent and Peresejo, the Museum of Fine Arts repairs, all at once, the absence of sculpture in the museum's programming since 2014 and the lack of knowledge about three Valencian sculptors from the first third of the 20th century. Juan Bautista Adsuara, Carmelo Vicent and José Pérez Pérez, place of death, they started following the wake of Marià Benlliure but ended up recovering purely sculptural plastic values -damaged seeds- of the form, mass and volume in what has been known as post-Benlliure renovation. They made classical figurative sculpture in one of the most interesting periods of Valencian plastic, consciously renouncing avant-garde aesthetics, taking the chisel, opting for wood and embracing sculptural material irregularities in pieces that speak, fundamentally, of motherhood and religion.
