Eduardo Arroyo

EDUARDO ARROYO, (Madrid, 1937-2018)."Aceto", 1990.Lithograph on paper.Hand signed and dated.Size: 41 x 30 cm, 75 x 63,5 cm (frame).A painter, sculptor and engraver, Arroyo stands out as an important figure in the neo-figurativist movement. After starting his career in journalism, he began to paint in the late 1950s, appearing for the first time at the Salón de Pintura Joven in 1960. At the beginning of the 1960s his plastic vocabulary moved under the American influence of Pop Art, and in 1964 his break with informal art became definitive. In 1982 he was awarded the Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas, and anthological exhibitions were held at the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arroyo is currently 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.
