Antonio López García

Antonio LÂ³pez GarcÂa 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, LÂ³pez GarcÂa imbues them with an extraordinary and haunting character. In 1993, his paintings and drawings were given a major retrospective at the Reina SofÂa, Madrid, while Victor Erice's 1992 documentary about LÂ³pez GarcÂa, The Quince Tree of the Sun, received the Critics' Prize at that year's Cannes and top prize at the Chicago Film Festival. Yet LÂ³pez GarcÂa'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 monumental El Greco to VelÂ¡zquez exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston), offers the first comprehensive overview in English of this extraordinary oeuvre. An essay by curator Cheryl Brutvan discusses LÂ³pez GarcÂa 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.
