Clotilde García, daughter of the great photographer Antonio García Peris, and wife of the painter Joaquin Sorolla, had all her life the profession of being a muse. In her father's photos as in Sorrolla's drawings and paintings, Clotilide is a main character. In this exhibition-homage she is the star in the Museum that she founded.

We have now the occasion to compare our taste on contemporary art to the one of Rubell family, thanks to the exhibition at Fundación Santander. And we are lucky for it, as our taste is adapted to our knowledge, and we must admit that in Madrid we have very little chances to see works by artists as influential as John Baldessari, Marlene Dumas, Luc Tuymans or Richard Prince.

When Picasso created the "Suite Vollard", he knew he was creating a new mythical series in engraving history, comparable to Durer's "Apocalypse", Callot's "Misères", Piranesi's "Carceri" or Goya's "Caprichos". With it he added more glory to his name, and he immortalized definitely Editor Ambroise Vollard.

100 after his death, Odilon Redon is a symbolist beloved by the French as much as Klimt is by the Austrian. Though, he still is an artist to be discovered, as his work is never ending mysterious and deep.
Now we have the opportunity to know him thanks to the Fundación Mapfre exhibition.

There was a time when great artists invested their imagination in works that would potentially reach thousands of people: they designed posters, book covers, postcards, bank notes, stamps... The Fundación Juan March gathers the main contributions to graphic design of movements such as "Arts & Crafts", Wiener Secession, Futurism, Dada, Constructivism, Bauhaus or "Art Deco".

There are many ways to talk about Diaghilev, his insatiable thirst for innovation, his sense of spectacle, his total integration on avant-garde, and his people skills to be with the best to achieve the most beautiful and shaker. The "Diaghilev Ballets Russes" not only were breakers in the dance world, they also influenced all over Europe bringing in their tours all the beauty and delicacy of a new ballet, together with the powerful energy of Nijinski, a force of nature, and the choking aesthetics of avant-garde artists.

Sorolla Museum is a never ending treasure chest. Sorolla as a mature painter only produced good art: either big or small size, it was always good. There are so many works in his house-studio in several rows, that just re-ordering them is a guarantee of surprises and joy.

"Locus Solus", a novel starred by strange machines and unlikely works of art, is the name of the villa where these treasures are hoarded. "Impressions of Africa" is about papier mache's adventures, similar to those by Le Douanier Rousseau.
Raymond Roussel was admired by Marcel Duchamp and Dadaists, surrealists around Salvador Dalí, the artists of the Pataphysical school... and so many more until today. After reading his eccentric literature, you won't be surprised that Raymond Roussel had been adopted by the most extravagant artists.

What is the difference between this paper we have crumpled into a ball, and the one by Martin Creed ?
If you are wondering what is art, then you have the same question than Martin Creed, awarded by 2001 Turner Prize. There is a solo exhibition of this controversial artist in Madrid until February 26th, at Sala Alcala 31.

The Golden Fleece was the symbol of Burgundy's and Flemish power, afterwards of a family (the "Habsbourgs"), later of another one (the "Austrias"), and finally of the Kings of Spain, all dynasties mixed (Bourbon, Bonaparte and Savoy) until today.
Such continuity can't be explained without the magic of a name, the splendor of a symbol, the prestige of an institution. The exhibition "The Golden Fleece and its sovereigns" at the Fundación Carlos de Amberes tells us that story.
