The Reina Sofia is one of my favorite art museums in the world. We spent the day lingering with extraordinary paintings and other works of art. What a privilege. The crown jewel of this museum is Guernica. I've seen it before, but it is still stunning and emotional.
After Guernica, Picasso kept painting weeping women. There are quite a few in the museum. Some are black, white, and gray like Guernica and others very different like this one.
There are so many Spanish painters represented at the museum. Here are the usual suspects.
And even the French painter Leger--one of my favorites.
But the highlight of the day, was being introduced to an artist I didn't know--Maruja Mallo. Her work is absolutely phenomenal. There was room after room of her art. These first two are from fairs. She did many of these colorful surreal canvases.
She also did amazing portraits.
I feel so lucky to have seen Mullo's work.
