XOSE TEIXEIRO’S SOUVENIR ALBUM
Born in La Coruña, Galicia (Spain) in 1931, Xose Teixeiro was known for being a celebrated psychiatrist and a distinguished humanist. Both a musician and later a painter, he demonstrated great creativity throughout his life, often putting it to good use in his medical practice. He died in Quebec in 2006. As a painter, he cherished the naïve style throughout his career for the freedom of expression it brought him in his evocations of peasant life in the villages of his home region.

Serving as a makeshift souvenir album of Galicia in the middle of the 20th century, this exhibition includes some twenty works.
This exhibition will run until December 22, 2024.
