"Iron and ShadowGermán Cueto"

"Sculpture, like any work of art, must be: 1. an authentic creation; 2. sincere, honest, the expression of a feeling or a thought; 3. free and immune to all purely commercial stimuli"

Germán Cueto

Historical pieces grouped together in the wake of the scenery that Cueto created for a ballet, generating shadows from one of his sculptures.
