Ramón Gómez de la Serna (Madrid, 1888—Buenos Aires, 1963), a central figure of the Spanish cultural renovation of the first three decades of the twentieth century, was an unclassifiable writer, the inventor of the greguería and the author who showed the most interest in the plastic arts.
It can be said that, in Ismos, Ramón Gómez de la Serna gave his very personal—and enthusiastic—opinion of the new esthetic contributions that were making their mark on the century, and which constituted models to be followed.
The show, which also includes a mockup of Ramón Gómez de la Serna’s office in Buenos Aires, ends with an appendix devoted to the circus on which the writer—whose true profession was, as he himself said, chronicler of this public spectacle—published a book in 1917, as we mentioned earlier.

 Mark Tobey: A retrospective exhibition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Art critics and historians of various backgrounds have agreed that Tobey was enormously influenced by his religious beliefs and that he sought to express elements of them in his paintings.
Kosme de Barañano, one of the curators of the exhibition, characterizes him this way: "Migrating from continent to continent like a restless bird in search of propitious seasons, casting his glance across all cultures, Mark Tobey was one of the few 20th century artists who was truly cosmopolitan and in fact trans-avante-garde.
These landmark achievements were followed by a major exhibition at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1962 and, in 1974, another major show at the National Collection of Fine Arts in Washington, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution.

The exhibition Oteiza: Myth and Modernity is the foremost retrospective exhibit devoted to Basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza (1908-2003), one of the most significant modern Spanish artists and winner of the Biennial in Sao Paulo in 1957.
Influential on later generations both for his art and his writings, the origins of Oteiza’s work may be found in the study of the relationship between volume and space that was begun by the first avant-gardes of the century, particularly in Constructivism.
The exhibition follows his process of experimentation with form and concept through the display of approximately 200 pieces (including 43 sketches and collages, many of which have never before been shown) in addition to publications written by the artist and other documents.
