Product Description
Antonio Lopez Garcia is one of Spain's most revered contemporary artists. Bringing his profound visual sensitivity and mastery of light to bear on a range of deliberately quotidian subjects, Lopez Garcia imbues them with an extraordinary and haunting character. In 1993, his paintings and drawings were given a major retrospective at the Reina Sofia, Madrid, while Victor Erice's 1992 documentary about Lopez Garcia, The Quince Tree of the Sun, received the Critics' Prize at that year's Cannes and top prize at the Chicago Film Festival. Yet Lopez Garcia's work has rarely been exhibited outside his native country. This book, published to accompany the first major exhibition of his art in the United States (in tandem with the MFA's monumental El Greco to Velazquez exhibition), offers the first comprehensive overview in English of this extraordinary oeuvre. An essay by curator Cheryl Brutvan discusses Lopez Garcia as a descendant of the great Spanish naturalists, as well as his indebtedness to Surrealism and "magic realism," while individual appreciations of some 50 paintings offer English-speaking readers their first opportunity to appreciate in depth the remarkable poetry and atmospheric density of this major world artist.

Pre-review. May 19, 2008

Why so inexpensive when the Rizolli book is $400+? Size. This is a small book at 6 3/4 by 8 1/4. I appreciate anything I can get on the artist, but the person who put this book together should have considered the stature of this artist. In my opinion and I am far from alone, he is one of our very best painters/sculptors living today.
Amazing artist, great book July 19, 2008

Yes this book is smaller than the $1,500. Rizzoli book, but it has great reproductions and newer work that isn't in the other book. This is a MUST have for any Lopez Garcia fan.

I have enjoyed, and continue to go thru this book. I am very pleased with this book. It certainly has been worth the long wait, before it became available. Thank you. WB
A 'must' for any serious art library collection November 17, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
He was called the 'greatest realistic artist alive' by Robert Hughes and creates the quintessential blend of realism with haunting viewpoints and twists of light, so ANTONIO LOPEZ GARCIA is a 'must' for any serious art library collection. It gathers under one cover the major paintings and drawings of his career, revealing the Spanish artist's methods and adding detailed explanations and explorations of themes to each full-page color image.
