Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
At a time when art galleries in Spain were adapting to new times, Enrique Romero de Torres was a turning point with regard to the modernisation of the Museo de Bellas Artes of Córdoba .In Córdoba, such renovation included both improvements of the museum as well as the increase of the collection with the acquisition of works from the newest artistic trends, which allowed the creation of the Section of Modern Art in the early 20th century. Afterwards the museum reached an impasse that was resolved in 1981 with the appointment of new director, Fuensanta García de la Torre. She carried out valuable work regarding the expansion and acquisition of contemporary art pieces. Moreover, she organised exhibitions, workshops and activities involving both local artists and those with a close relation to the city of Córdoba.
