“Maruja Mallo” by Shirley Mangini
“Biography of one of the most original and important women in the history of Spanish art Endowed with a talent that allowed her to combine multiple facets (among others, those of painter, art teacher, ceramic artist, illustrator, essayist, set designer or jewelry designer ), Maruja Mallo (1902-1995) is one of the most original and important women in the history of Spanish art. She is a friend of such outstanding figures as Salvador Dalí, Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda or Ramón Gómez de la Serna; she was the only woman in the Vallecas group and whose sentimental relationship with Rafael Alberti was very important for both of them, as well as her friendship with Miguel Hernández; energetic, brilliant, free, and transgressive with a fearsome sense of humor and full of attractiveness, between 1922 and 1936 he amazed and scandalized the society of his time, although nobody disputed the quality of his work, impregnated with surrealism and also charged with a darkness that seemed to presage future disasters”
