This photo-of-the-day is from the Meadows Museum at SMU in Dallas. It shows two paintings in the exhibit "In the Shadow of Dictatorship: Creating the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art".
Fifty points if you can say which painting is a portrait and which a cityscape. Extra credit for knowing which person the portrait is of and which city the cityscape is of. Muchisimo puntos if you know the model in the middle.
No one earned any points. :-(
The painting on the left is by Antonio Saura. Its subject is Brigitte Bardot. It was painted in 1959.
The painting on the right is by Rafael Canogar. Its subject is Toledo, Spain. It was painted in 1960.
"Brushstrokes show boldly,
Dictator's shadow unveiled,
Portraits, cityscapes."
