García y Más with "Lion Tamers" (1985, Oil/Canvas, 200 x 250 cm) in the Permanent Exhibition of the German Historical Museum (DHM) in Berlin. Here, the artist ironically reflects the inner German politics of the Seventies.
... with "Cross Section" (1984, Oil on canvas, 135x180) - Profile of the Berlin Wall with Dove of Peace.
Although global policy plays a very important part, García y Más is not a political painter in any narrow sense, his paintings focus on the problematic social issues of the day, on environments, on cultural and literary themes: the point is made by means of alienation, irony and wit, often in a macabre or even sardonic manner.
