New Issue of Orfeo Magazine-Granada!

I am very pleased to see that the new Orfeo focusses on Granada and the most relevant makers here. We all try to get ourselves noticed and would love to be in the magazine but no one can deny the pervasive influence of Manuel Bellido and Antonio Marín, the mastery of Rafael Moreno’s work and the success of Paco Santiago. I can only congratulate the author for choosing his subjects with excellent criteria. These men have taught or influenced everyone working here today with only a few exceptions. As the younger makers come into their own the influence might be indirect and these makers might be called the teachers of our teachers. Rolf Eichinger, Jesús Bellido, René Barslaag, Juan Miguel Carmona and José López Bellido are just a few of those who have continued the tradition of informal (or even formal) teaching which Marín and Bellido perfected.
