Raimundo de Madrazo
The third representative—after his grandfather José and his father Federico—of the most renowned dynasty of 19th-century Spanish painting, Raimundo de Madrazo developed his entire artistic career between Paris, where he arrived at age 20, and the United States, where he conducted various portrait tours starting in 1897 while his role in the French art scene gradually diminished. His body of work centers around genre painting and portraiture. In the former, he stood out for the exquisite detail of his interiors and his skills as a master colorist. As a portraitist, he was one of the favorite painters of Parisian and American high society.
Organized in collaboration with the Meadows Museum in Dallas, this exhibition is the first major retrospective of one of the most cosmopolitan painters and finest technicians of his time.

Edward Weston
The Matter of Forms
Edward Weston (Illinois, 1886 – California, 1958) played a key role in the transformation of photography into an autonomous artistic language. Co-founder of Group f/64, Weston championed a new aesthetic based on formal precision, simplicity, and the poetic intensity of the image. His work, deeply rooted in the American landscape and visual culture, reflects the transition from Pictorialism to Straight Photography, of which he was one of the main proponents. The more than 200 photographs included in the exhibition offer a comprehensive overview of his entire career, from his Pictorialist beginnings to his recognition as one of the foremost figures of Straight Photography.
Exhibition organized with the support of the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

Helen Levitt
Helen Levitt (1913–2009) began photographing her native New York in the late 1930s, capturing images that reflected life in the poorest neighborhoods, especially children and their games in the streets. She did so with an unerring instinct for capturing, beyond the scenes of childhood, all the emotion, mystery, and humor of everyday life. Her work soon gained the recognition it deserved, and in 1943 the MOMA in New York organized her first solo exhibition. Throughout her career, she also paid close attention to the medium of film.
A socially committed artist, Levitt was one of the first women to forge a professional career in photography. The exhibition (nearly 200 photographs organized into nine sections) offers a comprehensive overview of her entire career.
