This program focuses on Spanish Art within the context of Europe from the 1970s, when the change of government in Spain brought about a new style and a new way of thinking. The relation between society and art made this period one of the most interesting art periods in Spain, and the new tendencies and artists of the time are still part of the country's values today.
