Artis amore (AA)

The Artis amore collection offers specialized publications in the field of artistic creation in a variety of innovative formats, focusing in particular on the dialogue between research and creation.

Its name refers to the motto Artis amore junctam nulla vis solvet amicitiam [“Nothing can undo the bonds of friendship forged by the love of art”] featured on the medal created by Catalan artist Mariano Benlliure to mark the inauguration of Casa de Velázquez in 1928.
