"Un sueño. De los objetos a las personas"

These last days have been particularly arty. My last week absence was due to a trip to see "YSL: Dialogues with Art". The exhibition included Helmut Newton pics or Mondrian paintings to name a few, along with Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture pieces.

Moreover, yesterday I went to see a Man Ray retrospective. The exhibition was composed by 90 pieces which included: pics -portraits, most of them-, rayographies and experimental artworks.

Among with Dora Maar's photograph below, what impressed me most was to discover how old Virginia Woolf looked in her early 40's.

"Ravaged by bronchitis and pneumonia, Marcel Proust spent the last night of his life dictating manuscript changes for a section of his famous novel Remembrance of Things Past. Man Ray did not know Proust, but he had become such an important photographer that mutual friends dispatched him to the celebrated French author's bedside to make a final portrait two days after his death. The side view associates Man Ray's photograph with a tradition of postmortem photography dating back to the inception of the medium. "
