Label Text:
Born in Valencia, Spain, Genoves experienced the Spanish Civil War as a child in a direct and traumatic way. His family supported the leftist Republicans and thus suffered the contempt of the successful Nationalist party, which included the outlawing of his native dialect, Catalan. In 1958, Genoves settled permanently in Madrid. He helped organize an exhibition in Milan to raise funds for the anti-Franco movement. In 1976 he was detained and held in solitary confinement for seven days for having created a poster demanding amnesty for political prisoners. He was also linked to the Communist party.
