Here you have some more additional information to help you in your research and also with your inspiration... Some of the documents are in Spanish... difficult to find them in English.
Enjoy them and the whole project!!!
The turn of the century was a time of dramatic change in the arts. The notion that art should portray reality in an objective way was abandoned and the subjective and unconscious impression of reality were explored. This revolution happened in all the arts such as music, literature and sculpture, but ita was in painting where these experiments became most evident.
