Throughout his life, and even after his death, the Galician poet, storyteller, essayist and translator José Ángel Valente (Ourense, 1929-Geneva, 2000) was portrayed on several occasions and in different artistic techniques (painting, drawing, caricature).
Part of this material can be seen in the exhibition Artistic Iconography of José Ángel Valente 1955-2024, which will be on display at the Faculty of Philology and is included in the activities planned for the 50th anniversary of the centre.
