Biographies
José Corredor-Matheos
Jose Corredor-Matheos (Alcázar de San Juan, 1929) studied Law at the University of Barcelona, where he lives. He directed the supplements of the Espasa and the Gran Larousse Català encyclopedias.
He has been art consultant to the Society of Architects of Catalonia and editor-in-chief of Cuadernos de Arquitectura, art critic in Destino, Triunfo and Cambio 16, founder and first president of the Catalan Society of Art Critics and president of the Catalan chapter of the Society of Writers. He is a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.
He has published twelve books of poetry and more than forty on art issues. He received the Boscán Poetry Prize in 1961, the National Translation Award in 1984, and the Generalitat de Catalunya's National Visual Arts Award.
Miguel Milá (1931) winner of the Spanish National Design Prize in 1987, is one of the country’s undisputed masters of industrial design. A member of the generation of pioneers from the 1950s, he helped lay the foundations of this discipline through the creation of furniture and lamps that have become true design classics. The pieces by this heir to the Modern Movement recreate the poetry of the simple object and respond to the need to create with rigor and honesty at all times.
Through Milá’s work, José Corredor-Matheos recounts with sensitive accuracy the bold adventure of launching industrial design in Spain. The text acquires one of Miguel Milá finest virtues: the ability to reach a perfect balance in a seriously imperfect setting, achieving precision and lucidity. Thus, words and images are a continuum without fissures, revealing this great master’s enormous contribution, to which subsequent generations are truly indebted.
