Catalog of an exhibition held at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Museo Sorolla, Madrid, Spain, February 13 - May 27, 2018.

The 'Sorolla and Fashion' exhibition, organized in collaboration between the Museo Sorolla and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza focused on the influence of fashion in the work of Joaquín Sorolla. Curated by Eloy Martínez de la Pera, presents paintings loaned from museums and private collections in Spain and abroad, together with a selection of clothing and accessories of the period. Extremely interested in fashion, Sorolla was the perfect chronicler of the changes that took place in trends and styles in clothing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works offer an evocative catalogue of dresses, jewels and accessories, all emphasized by his loose, dynamic brushstroke. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue places particular emphasis on the magnificent female portraits that the artist executed between 1890 and 1920. Exhibition: Museo Nacional Thyssen - Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain (13.02-27.03.2018).
