Poet and painter Antonio Fernández Molina made thousands of drawings on paper tablecloths and napkins, on train and metro tickets, on pastry packages, on teabag labels. Josefa, his wife, has treasured them for years; she has carefully glued them onto sheets and notebooks and kept them in boxes of all sizes.
Poet and painter Antonio Fernández Molina (Alcázar de San Juan, 1927 – Zaragoza, 2005) made hundreds -and even thousands- of drawings on all kinds of scraps of paper. He began at a very young age, following in Lorca’s footsteps. The artist drew at all times, with anything he had at hand, on paper tablecloths and napkins, on train and metro tickets, on pastry packages, on teabags labels. Josefa, his wife, had treasured each of these drawings for years; she has collected them, carefully gluing them onto pages and notebooks, and kept them in boxes of all sizes. Despite their apparent insignificance, Josefa always considered them an inseparable part of the poet and a priceless testimony of their time together.
This book, which has as its background the village where they used to play as children, contains a small but recognisable sample of the drawings.
