This ambitious monograph on Spanish surrealist artist Maruja Mallo (1902–1995) appears with a retrospective exhibition organised by Museo Reina Sofía and Centro Botín. Through numerous paintings and drawings, plus texts and photographs by the artist, the book traces her entire career, from the new realism of her early years to the geometric and fantastical forms of her later works, highlighting how popular culture, performance, and magic permeated her early pieces and underscoring her connections to theatre. It also explores the transformations following the Spanish Civil War and her exile to Buenos Aires, where her portraits and still lifes reflected her new surroundings.
