Spanish painter, stage designer and author Eduardo Arroyo (born 1937) turns 75 in 2012, and this volume, published for the occasion, looks back at his comical, often absurdist paintings from 1975 to 2012--paintings, drawings and collages that deploy a repertoire of motifs, such as hats, shoes and comic-book creatures.
The publication focuses firstly on Eduardo Arroyo?s artistic approach and the impact his conceptually critical art had during and after Francisco Franco?s regime. Seriality and interdisciplinarity hereby play a central role in Arroyo?s oeuvre. Secondly, special attention is given to Eduardo Arroyo?s relationship with Switzerland. Select friends of the artist were asked to contribute: Peter Stämpfli, a close confidant of the artist, tells of their relationship. An essay by David Lemaire looks at the effects of the artist?s way of working. Fabienne Di Rocco looks at subject matter inspired by the artist?s visits to Switzerland. 0Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Thun, Switzerland (14.05.16 - 07.08.2017).

This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce’s epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist. The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce’s Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce’s grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer’s Odyssey. Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce’s writing.

The original edition of this ambitious reference was published in hardcover in 1998, in two oversize volumes (10x13"). This edition combines the two volumes into one; it's paperbound ("flexi-cover"--the paper has a plastic coating), smaller (8x10", and affordable for art book buyers with shallower pockets--none of whom should pass it by. The scope is encyclopedic: half the work (originally the first volume) is devoted to painting; the other half to sculpture, new media, and photography. Chapters are arranged thematically, and each page displays several examples (in color) of work under discussion. The final section, a lexicon of artists, includes a small bandw photo of each artist, as well as biographical information and details of work, writings, and exhibitions. Ruhrberg and the three other authors are veteran art historians, curators, and writers, as is editor Walther. c. Book News Inc.
This catalogue combines the oeuvres of artists Eduardo Arroyo (born 1937) and Bruno Bruni (born 1935), who worked together on paper using the exquisite corpse method. A variety of styles converge in this series of drawings and vibrantly colored collages.
