Alberto Corazón
Images sometimes hide ideas; other times they make them more explicit. Thus we can speak of ‘graphic thought’. To make them beautiful has been the aim of artist Alberto Corazón in a fertile fifty-year career recentlycelebrated in ‘Working with Signs’ , an exhibition in Murcia. Through two essays – one by Enric Satué, another great Spanish designer – its catalog presents the work of Corazón as an industrial designer, a creator of corporate signage, packaging and images – such as those of Once, Mapfre, Ferrovial or Casa del Libro –, and in the 1970s also a daring, committed editor of books on aesthetics, philosophy and semiotics that were unknown in Spain but are now classics.
