An artist's notebook that accompanies the Matador magazine, collecting evocative photographs by Alberto García-Alix taken in the Museo del Prado. Using analogue photography and double exposures of fragments of the same work of art on a single negative, García-Alix creates a unique 'fantasy' within the painting itself. Through different framings and superimpositions the photographer reinterprets the artwork, keeping the essence and character of the Prado's pieces: works by Goya, El Greco, Van der Weyden, Velázquez, seen through the filter of the camera of one of the great names of Spanish photography. Second prize for art books in the 2021 awards for the best published book.
