Antonio L???pez--also known as Antonio L???pez Garc???a--is hyper-realism's greatest living exponent, and one of the finest painters of the past hundred years. Published on the occasion of the artist's landmark exhibition at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, this generous overview constitutes a self-portrait of a genuine icon of contemporary painting. It spans the years from 1953 to the present, placing an emphasis on works made after 1993 (the year of the artist's last retrospective exhibition in Spain, at the Reina Sofia Museum). These more recent pieces include masterworks such as "View of Madrid from the Vallecas Fire Tower" (1990-2006) and the monumental heads "Day," "Night" and "Woman, Coslada" (2010). The artist himself has selected the works and structured their presentation here into eight thematic groupings: "Memory," "Surroundings," "Madrid," "Gran V???a," "Tree," "Nude," "Characters" and "Interiors." Full-color reproductions are complemented by a wealth of archival documentary photographs of the artist at work. Antonio L???pez Garc???a was born in Tomelloso, in the heart of Spain, a few months before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. He studied at the School of Art in Madrid in the early 1950s, where he soon proved himself a brilliant student, and quickly became part of a nucleus of realist painters, such as Francisco L???pez Hern???ndez, Amalia Avia and Isabel Quintanilla. L???pez Garc???a was the subject of V???ctor Erice's 1992 film El Sol del Membrillo ( The Quince Tree of the Sun ), which closely chronicles the artist's attempts to paint a quince tree.

This might not be as complete as the Rizolli monograph on Antonio Lopez Garcia, but it is certainly the next best thing. As one of the most important figurative artists of our time, books on him are scarce, especially compared to Lucien Freud or John Currin. The color photos of Antonio's work are clear and appear to have a good color balance. For anyone interested in his work, I highly recommend this book.
