These are some of the questions he wants to solve the exhibition Cap a genre poetics. Women artists in Spain 1804-1939 row with Spanish and foreign artists living in Spain whose work helped to modernize the Spanish scene. More than a hundred works from private collections and forty Spanish institutions, between them, the Queen Sofia, the Prado and the National Museum of Art of Catalonia. It all starts at 1804, year in which Francisco de Goya portrayed María Tomasa Palafox, Marquise de Villafranca and one of the first Spanish amateur painters who managed to enter the Royal Academy of BB.AA. of San Fernando. From then until the Civil War, these artists fought to conquer a status that had been denied to them until then, producing work of great quality that today questions the hegemonic account of art history.
