The artist José Luis Rey Vila (Cádiz, 1900 - Paris, 1983), better known as Sim, left one of the most vivid testimonies of the drama of the Spanish Civil War, specifically in Barcelona. Within the line of exhibitions and projects dedicated to the conflict, almost a hundred drawings by this artist carried out during the Civil War will be exhibited, which have recently been acquired by the Museu Nacional. These are creations of great quality and expression, and which include scenes of great rawness that show the effects of the war in all its magnitude.
