Good idea. I should have brought this up long before now.
I don't have time at the moment to illustrate the golden mean, but my rough estimate for "El Jaleo" puts it at approximately the highlight of the guitar being played on the right in the left half of the painting.
If you apply the golden mean to the two photographs I posted above the second one's golden mean is the inside corner of her left eye, the first is in the area of her temple.
Golden Mean = horizontal divided by 2.62, vertical divided by 2.62. With lines drawn representing these numbers, their intersection would be the golden mean.
I'll have time to confirm these measurements a little later, unless someone beats me to it.
