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 was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1942. From an early age, he showed a keen interest in art, so he decided to study at the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia. It was at this institution that he met other important artists such as Rafael Solbes and Juan Antonio Toledo, with whom he formed the artistic group known as Equipo Crónica. Equipo Crónica was an artistic movement characterized by its use of pop art and realism to critique Spanish society at the time. In 1964, Valdés, Solbes, and Toledo began working together on a series of paintings and collages that reflected the political and social atmosphere of Spain during the Franco regime. These works were often satirical and filled with humor and irony. After Equipo Crónica dissolved in 1981, Valdés moved to New York City, where he currently resides. There, he began working on large-scale sculptures that reflected his interest in art history and popular culture. His works have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world, including the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Manolo Valdés's work is characterized by the use of materials such as bronze, steel, and wood to create monumental sculptures that often reference art history. In addition to sculpture, Valdés has also worked in painting, printmaking, and collage. His style is unique and recognizable, and has been acclaimed by critics and art lovers alike. Valdés has received numerous awards and recognitions throughout his career, including Spain's National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1995 and the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts in 2008. His work can be found in important public and private collections around the world, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Juan March Foundation in Spain.

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.
