The Santander-born painter (1881–1932) systematically used the Cubist method to construct images and is therefore considered one of its foremost practitioners in Spain. This book, which serves as a catalogue of the exhibition entitled María Blanchard. A Painter in Spite of Cubism, traces her artistic journey chronologically.

This exhaustive volume offers a thoughtful insight into her work and legacy, defying gender stereotypes and stressing her importance on the contemporary art scene.
