This ambitious monograph showcases around a hundred paintings and drawings, alongside texts and photographs by the artist, tracing her entire career - from the new realism of her early years to the geometric and fantastical forms of her later works. The publication highlights how popular culture, performance, and magic permeated her early pieces, underscoring her connections to theatre. It also explores the transformations in her work following the Spanish Civil War and her exile to Buenos Aires, where her portraits and still lifes metaphorically reflect the influence of her new environment and culture.
