Description
Dated 1975 and issued in an edition of seventy-five copies, Blind Figure belongs with the photolithographic works Canogar made in the final years of the dictatorship. The title names a condition rather than a person: the figure deprived of sight, and by extension of orientation and testimony, in a body of work whose subject is the individual overtaken by circumstances he cannot see. Canogar had turned in 1963 from the gestural abstraction of El Paso to a figuration built from press photography, and the fotolito recorded here retains the halftone structure of that source, so that the image arrives already mediated, already reproduced, already public. The blindness is therefore double, belonging to the figure and to the medium that shows it. The vertical sheet measures 76 by 56 centimetres. Two further sheets of the same year, format and edition are present in this collection, and the three should be understood as a group rather than as isolated works.
Presentation
Rafael Canogar is a Spanish painter and sculptor, born in 1935.
After the Spanish civil war, his family settled in Madrid. The artist got hold of a paint brush at the age of 10. From 1948 until 1940, his family moved to Saint Sebastien for a year, during which Rafael Canogar took drawing lessons from the Basque artist, Martiarena.
1954 onwards, he turned towards abstract art, passionate about the link between shape and the material, his work is a lot like monochromes. In 1957, he created the EI Paso group. With artists like Luis Feito, Manuel Rivera and Antonio Saura, he begins the Spanish avant-garde movement and continues to do so until 1960.
He's completely devoted to the activity, and lets go off paint brushes and applies paint with his hands on canvas. He applies folds of pigments, like a farmer who cultivates land.
During the 60's, he makes portraits, but it's not the resemblance which motivates this practice. A technique that gradually heads towards abstraction and he begins to include collages.
In 1982, Rafael Canogar is awarded the National Prize of Arts in Spain, before being designated Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres in 1985.
