José Antonio Serrano and Enrique Lorca attend the opening of the conference in Madrid and propose, as first initiatives, the inclusion of the Murcian art gallery in the Digital Network of Museum Collections in Spain and in the Directory of Museums and Collections in Spain

The Socialist Municipal Group congratulates the Ramon Gaya Museum for the celebration of the "Modernity of Ramon Gaya" symposium at the National Prado Museum, during today and tomorrow, which contributes to disseminate the pictorial work of the Murcian artist, born in the Huerto del Conde in 1910

At the opening of this symposium have been the spokesman and the councilor of the Socialist Group, José Antonio Serrano and Enrique Lorca, respectively, who value the organization of programs that favor greater knowledge of the distinguished artist, who lived in Valencia, Madrid, Rome, Paris and went into exile in Mexico.

Serrano has pointed out that, although Gaya is an artist that transcends borders, it is "essential to work tirelessly because his artistic and literary work reaches the present and future generations clearly because it is not only part of the culture of our land but also of national and even international. "

Therefore, it points out, as initiatives that could be launched, the inclusion of the Murcian art gallery in the Digital Network of Museum Collections in Spain and in the Directory of Museums and Collections in Spain.

Likewise, the assignment of the "Portrait to Luis Cernuda" painting, recently acquired by the Ministry of Culture, will be proposed to the Board of Trustees of the Ramon Gaya Museum for its exhibition in Murcia.

On the other hand, the socialist spokesman wanted to extend the congratulations to the workers of the Ramon Gaya Museum, who have gone through a delicate labor stage, for their dedication.

During the symposium, there was talk about the deserved tribute that this event pays to the painter, while his widow, Isabel Verdejo, remembers that for Ramon Gaya the Prado was his homeland and recalls the commission to paint copies when he was only 21 years old in order to bring the gallery to the town.

"I came with him hundreds of times, and I do not exaggerate, hundreds of times" and it also indicates that "Velázquez was always the supreme painter" for Ramon Gaya.
