    the well known artists you'll already be familiar with: dali, picasso, goya, zurbaran, el greco (okay, so he was greek...)

    but you'll want to be careful about regional nationalities (catalan, gallego, basque, etc.) as some, such as tapies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An... and miro, are staunchly catalan and wouldn't necessarily consider themselves 'spanish'.

    bunuel is a good call, but a lot of his best stuff is from exile and is more mexican or french than spanish. perhaps the most spanish of all his work is a film called 'las hurdes'. it's usually on the same dvd as 'un chien andalou'.

    of course there's almodovar to consider, too. especially for colour and brilliantly exaggerated stereotypes about post-franco society.
