Description
Dated 2012 and issued in an edition of seventy-five copies, this sheet belongs to the last phase of Rafael Canogar's long engagement with printmaking. Born in Toledo in 1935 and a founding member of El Paso in 1957, Canogar has passed through gestural informalism, the photographic figuration of the years of political denunciation, and a return from the 1980s onward to an abstraction of constructed planes, reliefs and geometric fragments in which the earlier violence survives as compositional tension rather than as depicted event. The untitled sheets of these years are best read within that development: forms are assembled rather than described, the ground remains active, and the palette stays close to black, white and earth. The sheet measures 56 by 44.8 centimetres. A further untitled sheet dated 2013, of almost identical dimensions, is held in this collection; the two should be distinguished by year in any catalogue entry to avoid confusion.
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.
