探索一位已故西班牙雕塑巨人鲜为人知的绘画实践

Juan Muñoz（1953-2001）是一位西班牙艺术家，自称是“讲故事的人”，主要从事雕塑创作。Muñoz以其令人不安的纸塑人物而闻名，这些人物似乎被夹在时间暂停的行动中，Muñoz通过在其作品中引入叙事元素，对传统和正式的雕塑语言进行了显著和开创性的突破。本书首次概述了Muñoz鲜为人知的插画作品，介绍了他的素描和纸上作品，这些作品收藏在欧洲和美国的博物馆和画廊中。通过与作品配套的批评性文本和论文，本卷将艺术家的绘画实践置于其更大的作品中，以及18和19世纪欧洲和西班牙绘画传统的影响中。

Exploring the little-known drawing practice of a late giant of Spanish sculpture

Juan Muñoz (1953–2001) was a Spanish artist and self-described "storyteller" who worked primarily as a sculptor. Best known for his ·papier-mâché characters that seem to be caught in the middle of an action suspended in time, Muñoz made remarkable and pioneering breaks from the traditional and formal language of sculpture by introducing narrative elements into his work. This is the first overview of Muñoz's little-known work in illustration, featuring his drawings and works on paper held by museum and gallery collections across Europe and the United States. With critical texts and essays to accompany the works, this volume contextualizes the artist's drawing practice both within his larger oeuvre and the influence of 18th- and 19th-century European and Spanish drawing traditions.
