A country seen through the eyes of its comic books, with their delightful 20th-century icons. Much-loved over several generations, TBO, Virolet, Patufet, El V�bora, Makoki, Cavall Fort witnessed and reflected Catalonia's up-and-down history over the second half of the last century. Cataloonia, a Country Drawing Away into the Future invites visitors to follow the extraordinary transformation of the country from 1939 to the present, guided throughout by the quick-fire, ironic, critical and even visionary gaze of its comic artists.

Due to the suppression of the Catalan language by the Franco dictatorship, illustrated stories have always been of quite special significance in Catalonia. Adopting this illustrated approach, the exhibition charts the period from the end of the Spanish Civil War, and related events leading up to the establishment of the fascist regime in 1939, through to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. Original drawings, comic books and large-format art works produced by key Catalan comic authors highlight the cultural importance of the comic and its role in shaping society. Works by Miguel Gallardo, Nazario Luque, Max (Francesc Capdevila), Lluis Juste de Nin, Xavier Mariscal, Daniel Torres and Francisco Ibanez, the creator of Clever & Smart, create a vivid impression of this phenomenon, which is here featured in an exhibition for the very first time.

Exclusively obtained video interviews with these protagonists, and with publishers, authors and cultural historians, come together to create a lively account of the history of comics in Barcelona.

By special arrangement with Catalan television station TV3, our guest in the children's workshop area will be the unique TV production Una m� de contes (A handful of stories): 85 artists enact stories for children using the most diverse of resources.

The exhibition is designed to coincide with "Catalan Culture," this year's guest of honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, and is staged in association with the Ramon Llull Institute Barcelona.
