Oil on canvas.
Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, dated, located and titled on the back.
Measurements: 92 x 73 cm; 108,5 x 89,5 cm (frame).
Arranz Bravo was a total artist, theoretician and executor, key in the development of the Catalan and Spanish avant-garde of the second half of the 20th century. His work and his personality are part of the history of struggle and rupture of Spanish artists during the last decades of Franco's regime. Arranz Bravo was a spearhead in this opening, in this rejection of traditionalist Manichaeism that led to the complete renovation of Spanish art and placed it once again in the European avant-garde.
Eduardo Arranz Bravo was trained at the School of Sant Jordi, in Barcelona, and made his individual debut in 1961. That same year he also presented his work at the Ateneo de la Ciudad Condal. Between 1968 and 1970 he was part of the group formed by Gerard Sala, Robert Llimós and Rafael Lozano Bartolozzi. He continued to collaborate with the latter until 1982, alternating joint exhibitions with individual ones. He has had exhibitions all over Spain, as well as in Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In 1983 he held an anthological exhibition of his work at the Sala Gaspar in Barcelona, and between 1986 and 1988 he was in charge of the artistic direction of Jaime Camino's films "El balcón abierto" and "Luces y sombras". He also took part in the VIII Salón de Mayo in Barcelona and in important group exhibitions such as "Picasso 90" (Louvre Museum, 1971). In 1989 he presented an exhibition of the work of his last three years at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo, and an anthological exhibition at the Palau Robert in Barcelona. His awards include the II International Biennial of Sport, the figure award of the Biennial Estrada Saladich, and the Ynglada-Guillot drawing award. His work can be found in the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Fine Arts Museums of Vitoria and Seville, the Museum of São Paulo and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
