On the news
Next 23 May , if you have some 2 - 2.8 million euros to spare, you might become the happy owner of this painting by Sorolla: Niños en la playa (kids on the beach, what else) painted in 1916. It will be sold at an auction at Sotheby's in London.
According to the website hoyesarte.com it will be on display for a while in Spain, New York and London before that date (it doesn't say when I'm afraid)
Oh, man, if you're going to buy it, please don't take it to one of those warehouses in Singapur!

Can't help it
I know, I should be crazy about video art and installations , but it turns out that I have recently discovered Danish ancient frescoes and I'm crazy about them instead. Oh dear.

A Spanish illustrator that you probably know, and if not, you're going to love: Ana Juan. She was awarded the National Illustration Prize in Spain in 2010. Soo special.

I love the no-pose intended, casual look.

Spring quiz
Hello! I'm back. I've been hibernating for a little while, I'm sure you'll understand. And I'm back with that las-palabras- mágicas classic, that you have probably missed a lot, the art quiz.
So who's this, really strong, girl? Who's the painter?
