Manolo Valdés
"Manolo Valdes (born in 1942) is one of the great Spanish artists of this century and this, the first book entirely dedicated to his work, follows the course of his coherent and unstoppable career." "This book opens with a lucid interpretation of the artist's work by the well known critic Tomas Llorens, which serves as a tool for understanding, appreciating and sharing the universe of Valdes. A universe which, despite its unique essence, is not limited to a single technique or movement or artistic tendency. Valdes is, at one and the same time, a painter, sculptor, engraver and builder of objects which are difficult to label." "To help us understand his work, the book includes a number of critical evaluations by important art critics, freely quoted in the manner of epigraphs. They unlatch the doors to a true and rational understanding of the delirious plastic world of Manolo Valdes."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Sargent
Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863-1923) studied painting from the age of 15 in his native Valencia, then in Madrid and eventually Rome. On his return to Spain, he became the major portraitist of his time, and worked with subjects including King Alphonso and Queen Victoria Eugénie. Like John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), whose career was unfolding on American shores, Sorolla remained firmly outside of the Impressionist vanguard and was all but indifferent to other popular artistic movements of the day, but nevertheless achieved international renown in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Both artists focused on society portraits but also undertook independent work and commissions for cultural instit...
