THE PIONEERS OF BLUE

NEW CONTRIBUTION

An encounter that begins in Arab hands

A new contribution by Hans van Lemmen to the ongoing research surrounding O Gringo's Azulejo project

The story begins before Francisco Niculoso.

Tile historian and author Hans van Lemmen takes us back to Paterna and Manises, where Moorish potters played a pioneering role in the development of blue-and-white tiles in Europe.

This contribution opens another chapter in the research accompanying O Gringo's work, connecting centuries of movement, transformation and cultural encounters with a contemporary artistic vision.
