PB, 144 pag. ENG. edition, 300 x 240 mm, NIEUW, illustrations in color ISBN 9789462625372. For more than twenty years, artist Antonio L pez has been dragging his painting supplies up and down a high tower to finish his panoramic painting of Madrid. It is typical of the Spaniard: the painting process is a way to get to know the world better, he believes. By measuring everything extensively and always staying close to his subject, L pez knows how to capture reality flawlessly. But his work never becomes distant or cold. Although L pez was already described as 'the greatest realistic artist' by American art critic Robert Hughes in the 1980s, his fame has not yet reached the Netherlands. Until now. This book serves as a Dutch introduction to the life and work of L pez. We get to know him personally in an interview and learn more about his technique in the articles of various Dutch and Spanish authors.
