Catalogue Note
Honorio Carcía Condoy, Gines Parra and Oscar Dominguez a.o. are members of the Spaninsh group of artitsts ' The School of Paris' , who received a great acknowledgement in Czechoslovakia both from a personal and professional point of view. He arrived to Prague with the group of ' republicans' that were invited to exhibit there after the war, in 1946. This was the first exhibtion of foreign artists that took place in Czechoslovakia after the war as a result of the support that the Czech government offered the members of the republican people and of the good relations between Czech and Spanish artists in Paris. Together with Julio Gonzalez they reach a great success and would come back in several occasions to show their works in solo exhibitions as well as group shows.
