The harbour city of Cadiz, one of Spain’s principal windows on to the Atlantic Ocean, turned out to be a place of exceptional beauty and a transcontinental meeting ground. Here we were fortunate to happen upon an exposition of the intense and moving sculptures by the Dutch-Venezuelan artist Cornelis Zitman, at the Casa de Iberoamerica, Cadiz, 2017; objects © Zitman Estate and Casa de Iberoamerica, with thanks; pictures © 2017 Wim van Binsbergen
