Tapas, Dali and Guernica in Madrid
The art in Madrid is high quality and nearly endless in quantity. I spent the afternoon in the Renia Sofia gallery with Rian and Nicholas, and saw many hundreds of paintings and sculptures. The art can really mentally tire you out, as the quality is so good that you want to keenly focus on each piece, yet the quantity is so great that it can be taxing. It was truly a powerful afternoon of extraordinary art. The Spanish Civil War was depicted in many works, bringing the horror of war to the viewer. The currentness of the war is evident as it was only 70 years ago, and Franco's rule finally ended in the 1970s. Powerful art.

I like all of the pictures with you drinking. Looks like such a fun place.
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun, and the drinks are cold which tastes great in the warm weather of Spain. The tapas are very good and quite different than the ones at home.
