Great creators like Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Dalí, Francis Bacon, Antonio López, Sorolla, Chillida, Man Ray, or Robert Capa and extraordinary artist such as Maruja Mallo, Amparo Segarra, María Moreno, Gerda Taro and Lee Miller are featured in this exhibition with works that narrate their romantic relationships with their sources of inspiration. Relationships that were at times their great source of life and professional support and at other times, devastating destructive passions.
We will be able to enjoy 99 pieces that speak to us of genius beyond their work; of their feelings, their unconfessed passions, or their admiration for the women or men they loved. In some cases, these relationships marked the course of their entire careers; in others, they were momentary encounters or exchanges of complicity and mutual admiration.
An essential perspective to understand these great figures in the history of art.
