MANOLO VALDÉS (Valencia, 1942). "Matisse as a pretext", 2001. Silkscreen on canvas. Exemplary H.C II/III. The authenticity of this lot has been verified by the studio of Manolo Valdés. Signed and dated in the lower central area. Justified in the lower right corner. Measurements: 148 x 122 cm. This work is a clear example of Valdés' response to the master Matisse, rescuing his odalisques and wrapping them in a pop aesthetic. As usual in his production, Valdés resorts to the work of a great master as a starting point to create a new image that, in its complete originality and contemporaneity, urges us to rethink the legacy of art history itself. In an interview the artist gave to the ABC newspaper in 2016, Valdés pointed out his artistic connection with Matisse, and his interest in the interpretation of his work. In addition, this same year he exhibited at the Marlborough Fine Art gallery in London, the show titled "Recent Work. Paintings and sculptures", was a selection of eleven works that paid tribute to the artistic work of Henri Matisse. In fact, when the Valencian painter was interviewed in reference to this exhibition, Valdés replied "I answer to his paintings with other paintings". Manolo Valdés introduced in Spain a form of artistic expression that combines political and social commitment with humor and irony. He began his training in 1957, when he entered the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia. However, two years later he abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to painting. In 1964 he founded the artistic group Equipo Crónica, together with Juan Antonio Toledo and Rafael Solbes, in which he remained until the latter's death in 1981, despite the fact that Toledo had left the group two years after its foundation. Since then he has settled in New York, where he currently resides and where he has continued to experiment with new forms of expression, including sculpture. Among the numerous awards Manolo Valdés has received are the Lissone and Biella of Milan, the silver medal of the II International Biennial of Engravings of Tokyo, the award of the Bridgestone Art Museum in Lisbon, the National Prize of Plastic Arts, the medal of the International Festival of Plastic Artists of Baghdad, the Decoration of the Order of Andres Bello in Venezuela, the award of the National Council of Monaco, the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts, the Award of the Spanish Association of Art Critics and the Best Printmaking Artist Award, among others. Formally, Valdés creates a large format work in which lights and colors express tactile values, due to the treatment given to the materials. His work forces the viewer to delve into memory and search for significant images of the history of art. He is represented in some of the most outstanding museums around the world, such as the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Metropolitan, the MoMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Georges Pompidou Center and the Fons National d'Arts Plastiques in Paris, the Kusnthalle in Hamburg, the Kunstmuseum in Berlin and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, among many others. The authenticity of this lot has been verified by the Manolo Valdés studio.
