This catalog accompanies the exhibition Telúricos y Primitivos at the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga, curated by Bárbara García Menéndez and Alberto Gil. The show brings together more than sixty works (paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, prints) by artists such as Benjamín Palencia, Alberto Sánchez, Maruja Mallo, Antoni Tàpies, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Manolo Millares, Eduardo Chillida, Juana Francés, Miquel Barceló, among others.

The volume features critical essays, thematic analyses, and rich illustrations that delve into two key currents of 20th-century Spanish art: the telluric—a connection to the earth, matter, and the organic—and the primitive—a return to ancestral symbols, essential forms, and primordial symbolic languages.

Ideal for lovers of modern art, cultural studies, and museum visitors, the catalog offers an enriching perspective that complements the exhibition experience with academic rigor and visual appeal.

While there is no separate English edition, the Spanish catalog includes a final appendix with English translations of all texts and technical sheets of the artworks, making it accessible to English-speaking readers.
