- Description
Spain’s cultural atmosphere, which had suffered a significant setback as a result of the ravages of the Civil War, began to show some signs of recovery halfway through the 20th century. In the city of Oviedo (Spain), an important center of renewal of the Spanish University at the turn of the century, in which there were even art salons linked to the early 20th-century bazaars, the framework-circuit within which our artists would end up operating became fully established thanks to the active role of the Tertulia Naranco (Naranco Social Gathering), whose varied cast of members met at the Café Cervantes for programming purposes. The present study aims at helping clarify the role of this initiative, whose operation and model enabled the birth of the first contemporary art galleries in the region of Asturias. Keywords: Oviedo, exhibition, social gathering, promoter, café, circuit
Mediado el siglo XX el ambiente cultural en España, que había sufrido un notable retroceso fruto de los estragos de la guerra civil, comenzó a mostrar síntomas de recuperación. En la ciudad de Oviedo (Asturias), importante centro renovador de la Universidad española durante el período de entresiglos, en que incluso hubo salones de arte vinculados a los bazares primiseculares, el circuito-marco en que operarían nuestros artistas cobró verdadera carta de naturaleza a partir del activo papel de la Tertulia Naranco, cuyo variopinto elenco de integrantes se reunían para programar en el Café Cervantes. Este trabajo pretende ayudar a clarificar el papel esta iniciativa, cuyo funcionamiento y modelo posibilitó el nacimiento de las primeras galerías de arte contemporáneo en la región. Palabras clave: Oviedo, exposición, tertulia, promotor, café, circuito
