*F FRED CABEZA DE VACA

Autor  VICENTE LUIS MORA
Editorial  SEXTO PISO
Condicion  Nuevo

An academic proposes to write a biography about "the most universal Spanish artist since Picasso": Fred Cabeza de Vaca. For this he is immersed in an investigation that tries to reconstruct the life of the deceased artist but begins to decipher the enigma behind the artist and the controversial person. Through interviews with colleagues and some of the artist s ex-partners (of which he keeps a numeric record as if they were objects to collect and discard) and the writings and diaries of Cabeza de Vaca himself emerges a figure at times fascinating at times repulsive that works perfectly as archetype of the spell and the excesses of the world of contemporary art. Thus as readers we debate to try to understand if Cabeza de Vaca was a genius or a phony a visionary or an opportunist Using a technique similar to that of collage Vicente Luis Mora has created a fascinating portrait of an artist a time and a world that of contemporary art defined by the excesses and the radicality of taking the work to limits that as the case of Fred Cabeza de Vaca shows often end up devouring the entire existence of those who choose to offer themselves for the glamor and fame implicit in modern art.
