The first mayor of Blanca Fuensanta accompanied him Turpin, municipal councilor Blanca, and journalist José Francisco Bayona, representing the painter, Fidel Molina, author of the poster, who was unable to attend the presentation at the Museum of Fine Arts Murcia "imminent artistic commitments" as the preparation of material for a magazine of American art and performing several works for an upcoming exhibition in the Madrid gallery 'Jorge Alcolea.'
Mayor White Fidel Molina thanked his willingness and cataloged as "an artist already established in the world of painting."
Proof of this is the coral shows that just opened in Pamplona, ​​in the gallery 'Conde de Rodezno' entitled 'Festival del Toro' and can be visited until 30 July.
The bullfighting journalist José Francisco Bayona has been commissioned to explain the work of the closure announcer Blanca, titled as 'Entrance to the Plaza'.
It is an oil on board 37x52 cm, where the realistic style is latent Fidel Molina gives his works, touching almost hyperrealism.
It is the second time the White Poster closure carries a work of Molina.
The last time was in 2002, where the artist made a full poster design in which both the illustration and the different graphic elements comprising it were an indivisible whole.
This year, it is an oil which, in the words of the author "I've worked with the same pride and the same enthusiasm as I am an avowed White love Although I am born in Madrid, my people are White;. My roots are anchored to this earth and my whole family is blanqueña and Murcia. So I always say I'm from Madrid and blanqueño equally. "
The work 'Entrance to the Plaza'
"The scene of the picture Fidel explained in a text sent to the presentation, represents the final leg of the closure on the street Federico Servet, with the bulls heading for the entrance to the bullring. They are 4 and a half in the afternoon. In that time and at that time the August sun gets hard and there is an electric atmosphere, with all the excitement Dam people watch the race of men and bulls.
A few seconds before the moment that represents the box, the bulls have turned squarely to enter Federico Servet Street from a narrow alley in shadow, and right at that corner, the boys have been looking eagerly awaiting the arrival of the herd, which before entering the dead must cross the Plaza de la Iglesia.
From the point at which the picture is taken the picture, what you see is these young men look nervously down the narrow street, leading nervous hopping.
Suddenly, you begin to see how some brokers entering the street Federico Servet trot, then others with a stronger race.
There comes a time when both those awaiting the arrival of the pack as the race coming to make the rotation speed increases as people crying and begins to hear: "Now, now, now !!"
Suddenly, a vacuum is made in that corner.
Traders are still on the run toward the square, and after a few tenths emerges horned antler first, and then another and another and so on to complete what is probably the first group of cattle from the herd if it has been game.
There, the bulls are the young men to the square (reflecting the box section) to enter the arena, where the closure will end. "
"The picture added Bayona" perfectly conveys the atmosphere of celebration, fear and respect which causes the bull of Blanca's relationship with the people that day invades White and generates wealth in the village, and the human being with the animal, which is feared for its power in an example of the relationship between man and the bull in a time when society, away from rural areas, has perverted what is natural. "
