Editorial Taschen has published a monumental collector's edition devoted to Salvador Dali, which in two volumes reveals previously unseen material on his life and work with the collaboration of the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation. This exhaustive overview shows the genius from Figueras in all his complexity: creator of the paranoiac-critical method, an egomaniacal provocateur and a revolutionary of 20th-century art. Among religious fantasies, erotic obsessions and the mythical figure of Gala, Dali embodied surrealism as a personal and vital attitude beyond any doctrine.

The matador Jose Tomas and the artist Luis Gordillo have been brought together by their tribute to the bullfighter Victor Barrio. A bull, "Lorenzo", took the life of the young torero from Segovia. "Navegante" gored Jose Tomas gravely in Aguascalientes. The master of Galapagar knows what it is to die in the ring; he did it, but he came back after dwelling in that place. His heart never stopped beating even as life gushed out of him.

From my Madrid studio I set aside my brushes for a moment to give a different kind of brushstrokes, some brushstrokes about my path in the world of Art. I was born in San Sebastian in the late fifties into a family connected with the world of Painting, through my grandfather, who had an Art Gallery and a close relationship with the artists of his time: Sorolla, Zuloaga, Vazquez Diaz, etc. When I reached adolescence I went to the studio of the painter Jose Camps, who was the teacher of great painters and who trained me with a strong foundation in drawing and introduced me to the great world of color. At the same time I graduated in History from the University of Deusto.

I let myself drift on the atavistic magnetism of flowing northward. I look back and my footprints vanish in the soft moss; swept away by a silent green tide, where the lichen is the foam that lingers among the branches. And the constant mist, witness to my breathing, to that frontier between dream and reality; like the solemn weave between the untamed beaches that open toward the mountains, wrapped in a forest that turns yellow on its way to white, protecting its ice and its newborn rivers; which descend in fury, thirsty for sand and salt. Where the waves graze wild, calming with their scent each step of civilization. F Manso Losantos.

Trying to review Romanian-born artist Anka Moldovan’s latest exhibition "that which bursts" is, I have to admit, an excersize in arrogance, akin to claiming one can describe the joy felt by a sparrow in flight or the beauty of Handel's "Son nata a lagrimar". It is unwise to even attempt to reduce down to a few words the complexity of her worlds which, while still our world, feature exotic singularities like the event horizon of a black hole.
