ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rafael Canogar (born in Toledo, Spain, in 1935) is widely recognized as one of Spain's most influential abstract artists. From a young age, he was associated with avant-garde movements that sought to renew Spanish art after the Spanish Civil War. In 1957, he co-founded El Paso, an innovative artistic group that included artists such as Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares, and Luis Feito. This collective played a decisive role in introducing informalism and abstract expressionism to Spain, positioning the country on the international art scene during a period of political and cultural isolation under Franco's dictatorship.
Over the decades, Canogar has exhibited internationally, with solo and group exhibitions in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. His work is represented in major collections, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris. He has also received notable awards, such as the National Prize for Plastic Arts in Spain (1982).
Today, Canogar is considered a master of Spanish abstract art whose career reflects both his personal evolution and the broader development of modern Spanish painting. His work continues to influence new generations of artists.
