Life and work of Antonio Perez, important personality of Spanish culture because of its relationship with key artistic and social events that occurred in Spain since the early fifties. Unique character, Antonio Perez developed an interesting activity as an artist-editor-collector. It is precisely this aspect of "search objects" which he equated with contemporary artists such as Duchamp.

The Spanish journalist Manuel Chaves Nogales (1897-1944) was always there where the news broke out: in the fratricidal Spain of 1936, in Bolshevik Russia, in Fascist Italy, in Nazi Germany, in occupied Paris or in the bombed London of World War II; because his job was to walk, see and tell stories, and thus fight against tyrants, at a time when it was necessary to take sides in order not to be left alone; but he, a man of integrity to the bitter end, never did so.
