Mangini (emerita Spanish, California State U.-Long Beach) describes Spanish artist Mallo's (1902-95) contributions to Spanish culture during the 1920s and 1930s, countering the conventional
view of her as little more than a muse to such artists as Dal穩 and Lorca. She looks at her early years, her rise to fame, surrealism in Madrid, from surrealism to humanism during the 1930s, her
exile in Argentina during the 1940s and 1950s, and her return to Spain during the 1960s. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
