Anglès

Anglès is a town located in the province of Girona, Spain. It is mentioned in recent news articles due to its connection with the late painter Esther Boix (1927-2014). Boix, born in Llers, Girona, spent her final years and died in Anglès. She is currently newsworthy because the Fundació Vila Casas is hosting an exhibition of 180 of her works to commemorate the upcoming centenary of her birth and to highlight her artistic legacy. The exhibition aims to showcase Boix's role as a pioneering artist who challenged the social norms of the Franco era, particularly through her depictions of women in unconventional roles. The exhibition underscores her significance as a feminist artist and her contribution to the modernization of art in Spain.
