Modernism, Art Deco and woman, three concepts that the illustrator  Rafael de Penagos  understood and worked with a personal and unique vision. It has been said of him that he was the artist who introduced Art Deco illustration in Spain or that, through watercolor, gouache and charcoal, he was the greatest exponent of the Belle Époque in the arts. Undoubtedly, his role for Spanish illustration was fundamental for being the precursor of a new, modern and stylized female figure model. (x)
