Treasures from Spain

Three different types of art: painting, printed poster and photography - they all come from Spain this time.

Pablo Picasso: Jacqueline Sitting (1954)

An easy-to-recognize work by the world's most famous artist Pablo Picasso is displayed in the Museo Picasso in Málaga, the birthplace of the artist. The collection of the museum is based on the donation of the Picasso family and was opened in 2003.

Department Store
Textiles and new merchandise

The Los Sótanos ('the Cellars') in Valencia was a department store founded in the 30s by commercial businessman Luis Feliu. Los Sótanos was selling textile goods and it welcomed its buyers in the illustrious Art Deco style building, the Edificio Martí Cortina (seen in the backdrop), built in 1934.
Sadly, Luis Feliu was also a victim of the Spanish Civil War, he and his family were executed in November 1936.
