Catálogo razonado de óleos

Sold out

The catalogue raisonné of oil paintings from Maruja Mallo’s entire body of work brings together many of the leading specialists who have studied her oeuvre, including Estrella de Diego and Guillermo de Osma, who have contributed to the publication alongside Juan Pérez de Ayala, Antonio Gómez Conde, Antonio Bonet Correa, Fernando Huici March and José Carlos Valle.

This volume summarises a project spanning almost two decades, which began in 2002 with the initial cataloguing work carried out by art historians Guillermo de Osma and Juan Pérez de Ayala. In 2016, the Guillermo de Osma gallery’s receipt of the Fundación Arte y Mecenazgo award made it possible to continue with the project. Likewise, the support of the painter’s family, which has granted access to the artist’s family and personal archive, has been decisive for the development of the cataloguing work and the attribution of the body of works.

The catalogue raisonné establishes Maruja Mallo’s pictorial output as comprising 147 paintings and 40 sketches, including some previously unpublished works, constituting the first substantial corpus dedicated to her work. Although Mallo represents one of the most luminous periods of 20th-century Spanish culture, her figure had been shrouded in a long shadow—following her 25-year exile due to the Civil War and the Franco regime—which this publication helps to dispel.
