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.

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.

If Alighiero Boetti were alive today, he would be a 72-years-old kid-artist, eager to play and conquer the universe from his desk.
In the exhibition at Reina Sofía Museum his soul persists, either dynamic or idle, either player or philosophical, accomplice or provocative, deeply light or lightly deep, funny and nostalgic, smart and trivial. Above all, his dream of immortality is achieved.

Marc Chagall has filled of colour the Thyssen Museum and Fundación Cajamadrid. This painter of Russian roots, whose long and eventful life (1887-1985) witnessed the most vibrant moments of the 20th century, has been one of the masters of the avant-garde. However, he always painted traditional themes like Russian folklore or biblical images, linking to his Jewish origin. That paradox between the form and the content in his art was explains why he was an usual painter, difficult to classify, and sometimes uncomfortable.

"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.

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.

When we evoke Antonio López, two works are brought to our mind. A classic one: the "Gran Vía" on which he worked late in the 70's; a recent one, equally popular: the monumental head of his grand-daughters, greeting travelers at the Atocha Station. At the exhibit at Museo de Bellas artes de Bilbao, these works are not displayed, but we will enjoy "Flight over the Gran Vía", a most recent work related.
