MARUJA MALLO BOOK

This comprehensive volume brings together almost one hundred of Maruja Mallo's works, including paintings and drawings, and is accompanied by texts and photographs that trace her full artistic journey. From the new realism of her early years to the geometric and dreamlike compositions of her later period, the book places particular emphasis on the influence of popular culture, performance and the magical on her early creations, highlighting her close connection to the world of theatre. It also examines how her work evolved after the Spanish Civil War and during her exile in Buenos Aires, a period in which her portraits and still lifes symbolically reflect the impact of the new cultural environment that surrounded her.
