Representing the pictorial trends, we find, among others, French André Derain, Jacques Vilon, Marie Laurencin and Louise Latapie; as well as Russian Nicolas Tarkhoff; the English Harry Bloomfield and Averil Burleigh; and the Spaniard Celso Lagar.

Female representation through sculpture is brought by the hand of Israel artist Chana Orloff and French Michael Beck, where we can see from the expressive use of forms to the most abstract simplification.

The different artistic languages observed in this selection, as well as the techniques and materials, reveal the broad spectrum of possibilities there is in the world of art on the same topic.
