Photographs, reproduced sketches and letter excerpts tracing how Sorolla’s mural cycle Vision of Spain was made and installed in 1926.

Marking the centennial of the installation of Joaquín Sorolla’s mural series Vision of Spain, this outdoor kiosk show on Audubon Terrace tells the story behind one of the Hispanic Society’s most famous works. Rare photographs, reproductions of Sorolla’s preparatory sketches and excerpts from his letters trace the demanding process of completing and installing the murals.

It is curated by associate curator Noemí Espinosa, with a series of curator talks on the murals during its run.
