This article explores the contents of the correspondence between the critic and art historian Juan Antonio Gaya Nuño and the painter Manolo Millares in the context of the Spain of the first half of 1950s. Through this analysis fundamental aspects of the artistic thought of both are revealed, as well as their assessment of the artistic life of this period and the work they carried out as art book editors. These documents are likewise of great interest for learning about Millares’ efforts to promote avant-garde art in the Canaries and conversely, his difficulties in promoting his own painting beyond the islands.
