20 Apr Exhibition to celebrate the centenary of the cultural magazine Litoral
Founded in 1926 by poets Emilio Prados and Manuel Altolaguirre, the magazine Litoral is celebrating its centenary. To commemorate this milestone, Diputación de Málaga (Málaga Provincial Council), through the Generation of ’27 Cultural Center, has organized an exhibition curated by Lorenzo Saval, its current director, and designer and editor Miguel Gómez. The exhibition will be on display at the MVA Cultural Center in Málaga from April 23 to June 26, 2026.
It features the work of one hundred artists who, under the title Peces (Fish), have paid homage to the magazine’s original logo (a fish splashing in the sea), designed by Manuel Ángeles Ortiz in the 1920s. Photographer Alberto García-Alix has contributed with a previously unpublished analog photograph, taken in Valparaíso, Chile, in 2015.

The exhibition also presents the work of guest artist Aixa Portero: Ola Litoral, a sculptural and audiovisual installation conceived as a spatial metaphor for the historical journey of the magazine.
The magazine Litoral was the main voice of the Generation of ’27. Poets such as Vicente Aleixandre, Luis Cernuda, and Rafael Alberti published their first books of poems in its supplements. In these early years, artists like Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Salvador Dalí, and authors such as Federico García Lorca and Juan Ramón Jiménez, also contributed. According to its editor, Lorenzo Saval, “For a century, Litoral has been a space for dialogue between literature and the visual arts, welcoming essential figures of Spanish and international culture. Celebrating its centenary is to celebrate creativity, critical thinking, and beauty.”
The magazine has also received numerous awards, most notably the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts and the National Prize for the Promotion of Reading.
