Three art books published in 2026 are highlighted. 'Encuentros y despedidas' by John Berger (Alianza, 312 pp., €19.90) collects texts dedicated to people who influenced his life, exploring human experience, art, memory, and time. 'La hija' by Sergio del Molino (Alfaguara, 648 pp., €23.90) is a novel about 19th-century painter Rosario Weiss, linked to Goya, blending historical reconstruction with fiction to explore her emotions and doubts. 'Graciela Iturbide.
