Between the atelier and the shop window. Raquel Forner interventions in Harrods
Keywords:
Raquel Forner, Harrods, shop windowsAbstract
In the 40s and well into the next decade, in parallel with their plastic long-term projects which were reflected in the series of monumental, allusive and allegorical oil paintings of the world wars, Raquel Forner regularly collaborated on a project that in principle seems quite distant from that: the setting of the shop windows of the famous English store Harrods in Florida street. However, as we will try to demonstrate, those allegedly frivolous interventions in the fashion world set communicants ties with both aesthetic pursuits that the artist carried out simultaneously in his pictorial series, as the social-historical conjuncture of the mid-twentieth century, stressed for aesthetic and political debates.Downloads
