LITERARY GATHERING
CARTAS DE MARUJA MALLO
(ed. and introduction by Guillermo de Osma)
Monday 15 July at 18:30 at Marbella Club
We will be discussing Cartas de Maruja Mallo (Renacimiento, 2025, 324 pages), edited by and with an introduction by Guillermo de Osma. A collection of 121 letters written by the great Galician artist throughout her life, from before the Civil War, through her exile in Chile and, above all, in Buenos Aires, right up to her return to Spain in the 1960s.
A book that constitutes “a fabulous source for understanding just how much she believed in herself and the lucid perspective she had on her work”. Mallo and her letters are sure to spark some very interesting debate.
We look forward to seeing you!

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA
Sofonisba Anguissola (c. 1535[3] – November 16, 1625) was an Italian painter, considered the first successful female painter of the Renaissance. She cultivated portraiture and self–portraiture, establishing new rules in the field of female portraiture. At the age of twenty-seven he settled in Spain, at the court of King Philip II. He is credited with an important role as a link between Italian and Spanish portraiture in the sixteenth century, as well as a notable influence on the subsequent development of this genre in Italy. Her career was a precedent for several women artists who had been excluded from academic teaching, guilds and workshops and papal patronage, but who did find support in the European courts between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.
