This winter exhibition called "La Isla del Tesoro" was on exhibit at the "Fundación Juan March". In this public showing there are lots of artists from different  periods;

• Modernity and Tradition (1900-1940) with Walte Richard Sickert, Henry Lamb, Gwen John and Spencer Gore, and the more radical art with Wyndham Lewis, Duncan Grant and David Bomberg.
•  "Britain seen from the North" the huge sculpture made by Tony Cragg in 1981.

This exhibition is showed  in a museum called "Fundación Juan March".

The effect the exhibition has on the viewer is that when you enter, it seems to take you to an ancient time, to a far past seeing all the paintings from 1520 to 1941. Everything is worth seeing but if you really like landscapes you can see the section of  "Mind's Landscapes", they look enigmatic, and deal with nature and beauty, I personally love this part. The paintings overwhelm me. The works that I valued the most in this section were:

¨Proserpine¨, an appealing young woman, with an enigmatic look, and an absent expression.
This woman represents Proserpine or  Persephone in the Greek mythology. She has in her hand a pomegranate, the fatal fruit, because she ate six seeds, therefore she must stayed six months in Hades' Kingdom and the other six months in the earth with her mother.

Proserpine, 1874

Dante Gabriel Rossetti 

Currently housed at Tate Britain

¨Nocturne Blue and Silver¨ a beautiful and simple landscape where the colour blue predominates and where silver and yellow colours are also present. These sweet, soft and pale colours make you feel calm and relax when you look at them:

The title of the exhibition, "The Treasure Island", has a significant concept because all the paintings and sculptures that we can see in this exhibition are from the island of  Britain and all these works of art are considered treasures. So the meaning of the title exhibition has been well chosen.

As a sixteen year old student of the Lycée Français of Madrid specialized in Literature I'm going to present  the painting I talked to my class in the Juan March exhibition.

My painting  is "Britain Seen From The North" it was made by Tony Cragg, a British visual artist specialised in sculptures. He was born in April 1949. If you know a little bit of Tony Cagg's works you may know that his early works are made from found materials; like the work "Britain Seen From The North"  made on March 1981.

This is a wall relief made from broken scrap materials which he had collected from streets and waste sites in London immediately before the exhibition. It's often interpreted as commenting on the social and economic difficulties Britain was going through at that time. This was the first occasion on which he had incorporated materials other than plastic in a work of this kind, because here we can see discarded plastic objects, metal and wood.

This work consists of two elements:
  - On the left side there is a standing male figure, possibly the artist himself.
  - Next to him a representation of the British Island.
Therefore we can think that the artist is "seeing" Britain from the North.

The male figure was made by the artist drawing around his own body on to a sheet of polythene pinned to the wall, and the map by freehand from an atlas used as a reference.

I like this work because it's quite fun and very original. This painting is enormous and when you look at it,   it impacts you because you look so small compare to this work of art.
