Information about the work

Manolo Valdés (Valencia, 1942), a prominent Spanish artist and former member of the Equipo Crónica collective, is known for integrating elements of social and political criticism into his work with an aesthetic charged with humor and irony. This print depicts the profile of a male face, identified as Paolo from the title. The figure's white silhouette contrasts sharply with the reddish background, creating a visually powerful image. However, the most unique element of the work is the hat worn by the sitter: a complex structure composed of nude female figures and geometric shapes, reminiscent of various European avant-garde styles. This detail transforms the portrait into a visual reflection on the history of art and its multiple formal languages.

Manolo Valdés is a Spanish artist (Valencia, Spain, 1942) whose career includes painting, sculpture, and printmaking. In 1964, he founded Equipo Crónica together with Rafael Solbes and Juan Antonio Toledo; after Toledo’s early departure, the group continued with Valdés and Solbes until 1981. Their collective work was linked to Pop Art and to a critical view of Spanish society and politics during Franco’s regime.

After the dissolution of Equipo Crónica, he developed an individual career based on the reinterpretation of images from art history. His paintings and sculptures revisit figures and motifs from artists such as Velázquez, Goya, Matisse, and Picasso, with special attention to material, texture, color, and the simplification of forms. In sculpture, he has also worked on a monumental scale.

His work is part of collections such as Museo Reina Sofía, IVAM, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and MoMA. He has presented exhibitions in institutions such as IVAM and Museo Reina Sofía, which organized a retrospective of his individual career in 2006. He received the National Prize for Visual Arts in 1983 and the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 1998. Leer menos

Quick and clear response. Delivery times were met as agreed. Shipping was carried out with great care: protection of the artwork, documentation, etc. Everything was fine. This is striking because the opposite is common. Rating: EXCELLENCE

Impeccable. Always attentive to their customers and exceptional service. Highly recommended.

- Luis Eduardo Ruiz Santiago

I was treated with absolute transparency via WhatsApp; they knew a lot about the art market and framing. The lithograph arrived today with great care, in a cardboard tube wrapped in onionskin paper. It looks just like the photo! But the size wasn't perfect for me; they need to improve that aspect. A very good virtual experience!

- Marta Vilchez

I have found a product/work that satisfies me and the most correct commercial treatment.
