Mythos Spanien. Ignacio Zuloaga (1870–1945)
In our words:
Spirited flamenco dancers, witches, landscapes withered under a glaring sun, the simple life of the rural population Ignacio Zuloaga's paintings give their viewers a moving and intimate look into the "Spanish soul". We like to look twice or three times.
In the organizer's words:
With around 90 works, the Kunsthalle München is showing the first comprehensive exhibition on the Spanish painter Ignacio Zuloaga in Germany. Hardly any other artist shaped the image of Spain abroad around 1900 as much as he did: toreros and spirited flamenco dancers; beggars, dwarfs, and witches invoking the artistic legacy of Diego Velázquez and Francisco de Goya; ascetics and penitents in vast landscapes withered under a glaring sun; the simple life of the rural population. In times of increasing industrialization and Spain's incipient orientation towards European modernism, Zuloaga wanted to preserve the "Spanish soul" with such scenes, with which he celebrated international success.
