Antonio López García

Antonio LÃ³pez GarcÃa 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, LÃ³pez GarcÃa imbues them with an extraordinary and haunting character. In 1993, his paintings and drawings were given a major retrospective at the Reina SofÃa, Madrid, while Victor Erice's 1992 documentary about LÃ³pez GarcÃa, The Quince Tree of the Sun, received the Critics' Prize at that year's Cannes and top prize at the Chicago Film Festival. Yet LÃ³pez GarcÃa'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 VelÃ¡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 LÃ³pez GarcÃa 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.
