Antonio López García


 

 

 

 

 

The living artist I hold in highest regard.
There seems to be a humility to his gaze
which ultimately separates his work
from the vast majority of contemporary realist art.

The best resource on Antonio López García is the (out-of-print) Rizzoli monograph.
It is worth searching for: if you find it, buy it.

Ediciones Poligrafa has published a volume titled "Antonio Lopez" as part of a series on 20th century artists.

In conjunction with a major exhibition of his workThe Museum of Fine Arts, Boston published
a monograph which is available through Amazon.

An excellent article on Antonio López García can be found in the October, 1993 issue of Art in America.

There is a good introductory article by Jason Edward Kaufman on-line:
Antonio López García: Timeless Realism in a Spanish Key

There is a rermakable Spanish website called La Ciudad de la Pintura.
Their section on Antonio López García has the largest collection of scans that I've found on the web.
