Línea y plano en el espacio | Pablo Palazuelo

December 10, 2012 by bg-martin

Línea y plano en el espacio | Pablo Palazuelo Pablo Palazuelo (Madrid, 1915 – Madrid, 2007) is one of the key figures of Spanish art of the second half of the 20th century, although unfortunately, he has still not gained the international recognition that his work so richly deserves. Palazuelo’s work has often been overlooked by historians because it falls outside of what had been the prevailing ideas of the course of abstraction in 20th-century art.

Evolving his surface as a highly textured topography, Bradford uses gesture […]

Mappin Terrace no longer houses Polar Bears as current thinking turns more towards conservation […]
