Next Tuesday 15th of April at 5pm, Moj\u00e1car Council will pay tribute to the renowned art historian Antonio Bonet Correa, with the unveiling of a bas-relief in his memory and the official designation of the Plaza Antonio Bonet Correa, located in the Calle Salvia, 2 park, a symbolic place next to the sea which from now on will bear his name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Antonio Bonet Correa (1925-2020) was one of the great restorers of art historiography in Spain. An academic, professor and director of institutions such as the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Madrid Museum of Contemporary Art, he introduced new ways of interpreting art, connecting it with architecture, sociology and critical thought. His legacy also included the defence of artistic heritage, research into the Andalucian Baroque and the promotion of new aesthetic trends.<\/p>\n

His link with Moj\u00e1car dates back to 1965, when he arrived in the municipality accompanied by his family. He discovered the village thanks to the geographer Horacio Capel, and from then he maintained a deep connection with its people, its architecture and its surroundings. He was a regular in the municipality for decades, actively participating in its cultural life, chairing the Moj\u00e1car Art Courses and promoting the arrival of great artists to the municipality.<\/p>\n

The Mayor of Moj\u00e1car, Francisco Garc\u00eda Cerd\u00e1, highlighted that: \u201cAntonio Bonet Correa was able to see in Moj\u00e1car not only its scenic beauty, but also its value as a meeting point between tradition and modernity. He was an essential pillar in the promotion and dissemination of art in our municipality. With this square, we leave a record of his mark on our history and our way of understanding culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pedro Bonet, professor of recorder and director of the Baroque Music Group La Fol\u00eda, and Antonio Bonet Correa\u2019s son, commented: \u201cMy father was a restorer of the history of art in Spain, and his dedication was tireless up until his death five years ago. We are very grateful to the Local Council for this gesture that recognises not only his figure, but that of all those pioneers who were committed to the culture and beauty of Almer\u00eda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moj\u00e1car Council invites residents and visitors to take part in this emotionally charged event, marking another step in the locality’s commitment to cultural memory, art and the figures who have contributed to its enrichment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
