Wars generate, once achieved peace and the advent of democracy, the need for Recovery of Memory.

Whether not to forget the tragic events, is to recover that, popular and democratic memory, that dictatorships tend to erase.

In this memory retrieval, public art plays an important role thanks to its great capacity for symbolization by means of  monuments
