Description

EDUARDO ARROYO (Madrid, 1937-2018). Untitled, 2001. Collage and ink on paper. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 24 x 31,5 cm; 33,5 x 43,5 cm (frame). Eduardo Arroyo is known for his series on bees or bulls in which he adds a folkloric or anthropological component to the image, sometimes even trying to ridicule Spanish clichés. Painter, sculptor and engraver, Arroyo stands out as an important figure within the neo-figurativist movement. After starting his career in journalism, he began to paint in the late fifties, appearing for the first time in the Salón de Pintura Joven in 1960. At the beginning of the sixties his plastic vocabulary moved under the North American influence of pop art, and in 1964 his break with informal art became definitive. In 1982 he was awarded the National Prize for Plastic Arts, and anthological exhibitions were dedicated to him at the National Library in Madrid and the Pompidou Center in Paris. Currently, Arroyo is represented at the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C. and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Lille (France), among others.
