Monja Muerta Print

1936, Barcelona a Nun is exhumed and her desiccated body is displayed on the street. A barbaric act... Anarchists had recently gained control of Barcelona, a city which had experienced a wave of ecstatic atheism, a city which well remembered the oppression of the inquisition. A city acutely aware of how the church an the fascists were plotting against them, a city which knew that the fascist Franco sat with Spain's clergy in Madrid. A city whose sons and daughters heard the tolling of bells and uttered masses across the battlefield before a fascist attack. This was a city where the church controlled schools kept the workers in deliberate ignorance. A city that knew well the cruel fate which the clergy conspired to impose on the brave anarchists who opposed god, king and country. this painting does not try to justify the exhumation of nuns in Barcelona, but rather to discuss how these abhorrent acts may have their roots in the collective psychosis of an oppressed populace denied its true humanity.
