Image of Crivillén, not of the place itself.

The sculptor Pablo Serrano Aguilar was born in Crivillén on 10 February 1908 and died in Madrid on 26 November 1985. His birth house is preserved, and the village houses a contemporary art centre bearing his name, which brings together his work and that of contemporary artists. Considered one of the most important Spanish artists of the 20th century, he began his career in South America and gained international fame after settling in Spain in 1955; in 1957 he co-founded the Grupo El Paso, through which he promoted avant-garde art, alternating expressionist and abstract sculptures with a strong humanist concern for communication between people. He gained wide recognition after the 1962 Venice Biennale, and near the end of his life he founded an institution that gave rise to the Instituto Aragonés de Arte y Cultura Contemporáneos Pablo Serrano.
