It's Frida Kahlo (1907-1954, Coyoacán).The Mexican painter is one of the best examples of how the artist transcends her work.Because there are few who do not identify her face or her appearance, but there are much fewer able to identify any of her paintings or describe her style.Kahlo is mainly known for her rebellious character, her fighter, so as a woman ahead of her time, her feminism has adopted her as one of her referents, as well as her example.But an artist is for her art.And to get to know Kahlo's in Spain, since her museum is somewhat far away (in her homeland), the recently inaugurated exhibition at the Casa de México in Madrid is an exceptional opportunity to make contact.“Wings to Fly” is also one of the main attractions on the list of major exhibitions that between now and autumn are a good reason to visit the Spanish capital.The title of the show refers to one of Kahlo's best-known quotes.This is the largest monographic exhibition dedicated to her in Madrid since 1985. It brings together 31 original works, as well as 91 photographs and videos by photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo.Pain, death, motherhood or the Mexican, constants in the artist's work, are the protagonists of an exhibition that can be visited until November 22.Pepa Flores VICTOR M. VAZQUEZAnother woman, in this case an icon in Spain (much to her chagrin), is the protagonist at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.There, until July 29, she is hanging “Marisol, the glow of a myth”.The exhibition presents 39 photographs signed by the photographer César Lucas, the artist who has most portrayed Pepa Flores, an actress who marked the childhood and adolescence of many generations and is now completely withdrawn from the public spotlight.They are images taken between 1963 and 1973, some never published.The thing is about women this summer in Madrid.In the Palacio de las Alhajas they have just opened "Daughters of the Nile. Women and society in ancient Egypt", an ambitious exhibition organized by the Eulen business group on the occasion of its 60th anniversary and which brings together 300 pieces from 12 different countries .Egyptian sculpture Daughters of the Nile InstagramAt the Prado Museum, they have proposed that the general public get to know Luis Paret, a Spanish painter, watercolourist and draftsman with a marked rococo style."He is possibly the Spanish artist of the 18th century who most deserved a major exhibition," says Javier Solana, president of the Royal Board of Trustees of the Prado.In the art gallery they have gathered most of the paintings that are known by Paret.Open until August 21.He will share the leading role with the painter from Madrid with another perhaps somewhat better known, the historicist Francisco Padilla, whose death is a century old.Among the eight works exhibited (until October 23) there is perhaps the best known: that of Juana La Loca.In El Prado, an exhibition that could be classified as experimental and unusual in the museum will be withdrawn in the summer (it closes on July 3): “The essence of a painting.An olfactory exhibition.It features the work "The Smell" by Brueghel the Elder and Rubens, accompanied by 10 fragrances related to elements present in the painting, dedicated to the garden of unique trees and plants that Isabel Clara Eugenia and her husband had in Brussels at the beginning of the 17th century with more than 80 species of plants and flowers.In another of the great Madrid art galleries, the Thyssen Museum, they will maintain until October the one inaugurated in 2021 on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Baron Thyssen: the American art present in his collection.But in summer the protagonist will be a retrospective of the North American painter Alex Katz (New York, 1927), the first to be organized in Spain on "one of the main figures in the history of American art of the 20th century and a precursor of pop art, who It's still active."Until September 11.Another much-celebrated one is that of the Sorolla Museum, which deals with childhood in the work of the Valencian painter.There are only two days left to enjoy it, as it closes this same Sunday, June 19.We must not forget one with an Asturian stamp in Madrid: at the Masaveu Foundation, the one with 19th-century paintings “From Goya to modernism”, until January 22.Until July 15 at the Centro Sefarad “Seeing Auschwitz” is open, and at the Fundación Canal they keep “Uncovered.Selected Works from The Howard Greenberg Gallery”: 111 photographs from one of the world's leading photographic archives.The Fundación Juan March dedicates its exhibition rooms to the rather unknown to the general public Josep M. Sert (Barcelona, ​​1874-1945), who they present as "one of the most famous, sought-after and controversial painters of his time, who enjoyed great prestige among the European and American elites of the moment”.It is open until July 31.And until August 28, in the Sala Recoletos of the Mapfre Foundation, the protagonist is Paolo Gasparini (1934), "the photographer who has best portrayed the social and cultural tensions and contradictions of Latin America."News saved in your profileNews saved in your profileNews saved in your profileNews saved in your profileEditorial Prensa Asturiana, SA All rights reserved
