ARTISTS AND MODELS. STORIES OF PASSION, CREATION, AND DESTRUCTION

Man Ray. El Cuello (Lee Miller), 1929. © Man Ray 2015 Trust, VEGAP 2023

Great creators like Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Dalí, Francis Bacon, Antonio López, Sorolla, Chillida, Man Ray, and Robert Capa, and extraordinary artists like Maruja Mallo, Amparo Segarra, María Moreno, Gerda Taro, and Lee Miller, are showcased in this exhibition with works depicting their romantic relationships as their sources of inspiration. Sometimes, these relationships were a huge support in their professional and personal lives. Other times, they were devastating, destructive passions.

Enjoy 99 pieces that speak of their genius, beyond their work; their feelings, their unspeakable passions, and their admiration for the women and men that they loved.  In some cases, these relationships set the path for their entire career; in others, they were sporadic moments or exchanges of intimacy and mutual admiration.

A must-see to understand these great figures in art history.
