Description: If María Gainza is already known to the Spanish reader, it is for the recent success of her fascinating El Nervio Optico (The Optic Nerve, Anagrama, 2017), but in Argentina she had already had a lifetime of writing texts on art, with that style of hers so unique, intriguing and un-academic. This book brings together more than thirty of her precious pieces about artists, unedited so far in Spain. "Their starting points are exhibits, but these are immediately transformed into something broader: a cultural thermometer. It is one of the lessons - perhaps involuntary?- of this book: all works coexist at the same time, on the same horizon, forming a great mosaic of stetics that are enhanced even by being ground or ignored. Without footnotes, without a heavy cluster of bibliographies that come to sustain a critical apparatus, we appreciate that there are still those who possess such a mastery in ellipsis." (From Rafael Cippolini's prologue)
