El Escorial, more than a palace or a monastery, was since the beginning a monument, actually a building built and decorated to commemorate a victory (Saint Quentin), as a filial tribute (from Phillip II to Charles V) and serve as symbol of a family's power (the Habsburgs).

Si nuestra indumentaria habla de nosotros, la historia del traje es nuestra historia.
We have now the occasion to compare our taste on contemporary art to the one of Rubell family, thanks to the exhibition at Fundación Santander. And we are lucky for it, as our taste is adapted to our knowledge, and we must admit that in Madrid we have very little chances to see works by artists as influential as John Baldessari, Marlene Dumas, Luc Tuymans or Richard Prince.

When Picasso created the "Suite Vollard", he knew he was creating a new mythical series in engraving history, comparable to Durer's "Apocalypse", Callot's "Misères", Piranesi's "Carceri" or Goya's "Caprichos". With it he added more glory to his name, and he immortalized definitely Editor Ambroise Vollard.

100 after his death, Odilon Redon is a symbolist beloved by the French as much as Klimt is by the Austrian. Though, he still is an artist to be discovered, as his work is never ending mysterious and deep.

There are many ways to talk about Diaghilev, his insatiable thirst for innovation, his sense of spectacle, his total integration on avant-garde, and his people skills to be with the best to achieve the most beautiful and shaker. The "Diaghilev Ballets Russes" not only were breakers in the dance world, they also influenced all over Europe bringing in their tours all the beauty and delicacy of a new ballet, together with the powerful energy of Nijinski, a force of nature, and the choking aesthetics of avant-garde artists.
