Spain’s Golden Age may be defined as the extraordinary moment when the visual arts, architecture, literature, and music all reached unprecedented heights.

This exhibition catalogue features a diverse selection of more than 100 outstanding works produced by leading artists from Spain and its global territories. Art and Empire: The Golden Age of Spain is the first exhibition in the United States to expand the notion of the “Golden Age” to include the Hispanic world beyond the shores of the Iberian Peninsula

“Frida’s quote appears in both English (I never painted my dreams, I only painted my own reality) and Spanish (Nunca pinté mis sueños, sólo pinté mi propia realidad). The perfect mug for her many admirers – the realists and the dreamers alike.”

Holds 10 oz. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

“A sumptuous feast of a book, Frida allows the reader to enter this revered artist’s world, both literally and metaphorically. Through a series of consecutive die-cut pages, one is drawn in passing through aspects of her life, art and creative process while exploring the themes that inspired her most, such as love, death and maternity. Iconic and visceral, her work has always had the ability to transcend borders and resonate with its honest and graphic depiction of the human condition. Until now, there has never been a greater homage. Excerpts from Frida Kahlo’s personal diaries alternate with Sébastien Perez’s poetic musings to give fresh insight and emotional depth, while Benjamin Lacombe’s stunning artwork masterfully conveys the symbolism and surrealism of her art. A must for any fan or bibliophile.”

Inspire your child’s (and your!) imagination with these architecturally themed Tri Mags! Some say it’s like magnetic Origami. As children build, they’ll learn about positive and negative magnetic attraction. Each cube is made up of 24 large, colorful magnetic pyramids that fit together when the magnets are aligned correctly. While completing the 20 included challenges, they’ll also develop critical thinking skills. The real fun begins when they start creating their own designs, just like architects bringing their visions to life.
