Collection de la Casa de Velázquez (CCV)

CCV is intended for the publication of collective works compiled from meetings organised as part of the Casa de Velàzquez Programme of scientific activities (conferences, congresses, study sessions).

Texts are reworkings of the proceedings of a meeting. They should not exactly reproduce communications. Some coordination and collation of the different contributions is therefore required to meet the collection's standards.

Artis amore (AA)

La collection Artis amore propose des publications spécialisées dans le champ de la création artistique à travers des formats diversifiés et innovants, notamment autour du dialogue entre recherche et création.

Son nom renvoie à la devise Artis amore junctam nulla vis solvet amicitiam ["Rien ne peut défaire les liens d'amitié noués par l'amour de l'art"] figurant sur la médaille créée par l’artiste catalan Mariano Benlliure à l’occasion de l’inauguration de la Casa de Velázquez en 1928.
