Description
Haunting overtones of childhood’s lost innocence infuse Spain’s dreamlike paintings, as in this example of a young girl with her pets amid a sparse moonlit interior. With their geometrically stylized faces, rigid bodies, and marionette limbs, the artist’s human figures were inspired by her love of antique dolls.- Year in Review: 1979. The Cleveland Museum of Art (organizer) (February 13-March 9, 1980).
