PICTORICAL METHODOLOGY IN ANTONIO LÓPEZ GARCÍA’S WORK

Abstract

From the begin to his personal and pictorial consolidation in the second half of the sixties, the painter Antonio López (1936) undergoes a change of his measuring procedure because he considers that some perspective instruments are needed to keep the reality in a precise way. The wooden square, created by himsef, and the compass will become his daily tools in his pictorial procedure. In this sense, it is necessary to highlight other resources such as the fixed plumb lines, that work as a vertical axis or the horizontal thread that is used as a horizon line. That is to say, Antonio López’s work openly shows the attempts and corrections he is experimenting with, thus exposing the nuances of the pictorial process.
