Maruja Mallo Maruja Mallo (5 January 1902 – 6 February 1995) was a Spanish painter. Mallo was born Ana María Gómez González in Viveiro, Galicia, on 5 January 1902. She studied arts in Madrid between 1922 and 1926. In 1928 Mallo's first exhibition was held at the Madrid offices of the journal "Revista de Ocidente" and the exhibition was praised for its originality and freshness. According to Shirley Mangini '[a]lthough historians of Spanish avant-garde art locate the origins of the movement in the activities of Dalí, Buñuel, García Lorca, and another student at the Residencia, José Bello, Mallo's artistic vision was an important catalyst in the Spanish avant-garde movement." Her paintings of the 1920s represent urban entertainments and sports, composed in complex overlapping arrangements that express the dynamism of modern life. These works, such as "La Verbena" of 1927, combine sharply defined, smoothly modeled forms with bright colors. Her work became more surrealistic in the early 1930s, and she worked in ceramics during this time as well. Her later works show some influence of magical realism and look ahead to pop art. In 1928 Ortega y Gasset organized her first exhibit, which was a success.

La Parisienne (Hidalgo painting) The La Parisienne is an 1889 painting by Félix Resurrección Hidalgo. The painting depicts a woman holding an umbrella known as the parasol, a theme similar to Juan Luna's "La Madrileña (En el Balcon)". Hidalgo's "La Parisienne" was the first Philippine work of art to be chosen as a cover for Sotheby's sale catalog due to its importance, rarity, uniqueness, and exclusivity. Before the painting's appearance at Sotheby's Southeast Asian paintings sale in Singapore on April 6, 2003, the last time the "La Parisienne" was exhibited was at the 1889 Paris Exposition Universelle. It is also the only painting of Hidalgo that was featured on the cover of "La Illustraccion Española y Americano", a popular weekly magazine in Spain. It appeared on the Spanish magazine's cover on February 28, 2003. Like Luna's "La Madrileña (En el Balcon)", Hidalgo's "La Parisienne" is one of two rare paintings created by famous Filipino artists that have not been viewed for a century by the public.

La Leocadia La Leocadia (Spanish: Doña Leocadia) or The Seductress (Spanish: Una Manola) are names given to a mural by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya (1746–1828), completed sometime between 1819–23, as one of his series of 14 "Black Paintings". It shows a woman commonly identified as Goya's maid, companion and, most likely lover, Leocadia Weiss. She is dressed in a dark, almost funeral maja dress, and leans against what is either a mantelpiece or burial mound, as she looks outward at the viewer with a sorrowful expression. "Leocadia" is one of the final of the "Black Paintings", which he painted in his seventies at a time when he was consumed by political, physical and psychological turmoil, after he fled to the country from his position as court painter in Madrid.
