Martial Raysse, Dessins/Drawings
2015
International audience; Nouveau Réaliste en France, ami proche des artistes du pop art à New York et Los Angeles, réalisateur de films psychédéliques dans les communautés hippies au Maroc et ailleurs... Martial Raysse est l’un des artistes majeurs de la scène contemporaine. Alors que ses portraits de femmes ultracolorés des années 1960 sont devenus des icônes et que ses fresques allégoriques surprennent encore, les Éditions Dilecta publient un ouvrage présentant une sélection de ses dessins, de ses débuts à nos jours.

Sophie Calle, Douleur exquise : le récit de l’intime comme objet de la démarche artistique

A Modern Classic of Fantastic Art: José Hernández
2021
José Hernández (Tánger, 1944-Málaga, 2013) es uno de los grandes maestros del arte fantástico con una extensa obra pictórica y gráfica reconocida en todo el mundo. En un momento en el que el arte fantástico empieza a valorarse positivamente en museos y el ámbito académico, Hernández es un referente indispensable tanto en el ámbito español como en el panorama internacional. Con una extensa obra desde los años sesenta, su personal poética proyecta un imaginario perturbador, onírico y grotesco habitado por monstruos y espectros que deambulan por misteriosos espacios, un universo muy relacionado con la tradición de los pintores renancentistas y barrocos y la literatura fantástica.
