Abstract
FERNANDEZ MARTINEZ, Dolores. Max Aub y Ana María Merkel: Ficción y realidad de una artista desconocida. Olivar [online]. 2002, vol.3, n.3, pp.95-116. ISSN 1852-4478.
It has been a riddle for those who study Max Aub's work to find out which is the limit between fiction and reality in the historical novel Jusep Torres Campalans This article is based on a huge documentation about Picasso and the Parisian artistic environment before 1914. The character of Ana María Merkel, the painter's mate, was totally mnvented: but this woman, Max Aub's contemporary, did exist, and tracing her back we find a painful image of feminine artists, reflecting a traditional inequality in the social recognition of female art.
