3.Spanish advertising / Publicidad española.

Picasso is so near from this medieval Lincoln sculpture.

A common past.

Spanish advertising copying Lichstestein style.





One of the few things I learnt during the last teachers’ meeting at Lincoln Christ´s Hospital School was the great interest the art teachers showed in approaching their students to the different techniques and styles of some great contemporaneous artists. In particular the students of grade 7th (11 years old) were researching in the same activity the styles of Modigliani, Picasso and Lichtenstein.




We also work with our students in the same direction in our school and it is exciting to find how much of our methodologies and activities we share in our classes in the different countries.
When I came back from Lincoln I read at a Sunday magazine a particular advertisement about Spanish wines clearly inspired in Linchtenstein´s style.




At that very moment I felt taken back to the warm art classrooms of Lincoln´s School.
More things in common: I was born in Salamanca, an important old Roman city called Helmantica. I am sure that in many of your cities, Hättingen, Lincoln... it is probably easy to find remains of the same ancestros who settle down and dominated our land.
