The Schizos looks at Madrid's complex cultural environment during the last years of Franco's regime and the first period of democracy. The retrospective coordinates the activities and work of a group of painters known as “The Schizos,” whose exploits as a group span from 1970 to 1985, a period in which they decided to embrace figurative painting as they operated on the margins of the dominant aesthetic and political conventions at the end of Franco’s dictatorship. Across the exhibition, different influences, confluences, and the path taken by each artist during these fifteen years of artistic production can be appreciated
