Rafael Canogar Figurative Prints
Spanish, b. 1935
Rafael Canogar (Toledo, 1935), painter and engraver, is considered as one of the leading figures of Spanish Abstract Art. Between 1948 and 1953 he was a disciple of Daniel Vázquez Díaz and focused on the study of the avant-garde and evolved rapidly to an informalist abstraction.
In 1957, Canogar founded with Antonio Saura, Manuel Millares, Luis Feito, Manuel Rivera, Pablo Serrano, Juana Francés, Antonio Suárez and José Ayllón the El Paso group. Between 1957 and 1960 they all defended the informalism as an expression of freedom in an attempt to enter Spain in the international framework.
In 1960 he participates in the "New Spanish Painting and Sculpture" show at MOMA New York.
In 1963, he starts a new stage in his life in which he gradually gets close to figuration with a rising narrative content. In works of this period we find new materials such as newspaper clippings and photographs his subjects are close to the human and the nature of objects. As the critic Vicente Aguilera says about the works of this stage: "The themes do not express opinions or reflect facts, but facts are human tragedies, are encoded images where the human, object and amount, become symbolic hierarchy". In 1971 he is awarded with the Grand Prize of the Bienal de São Paulo.
After 1975 we find in his work a return to an abstraction that quickly becomes a new iconography that represents man as a plastic element through masks and faces. Notable from this period are his still lifes, city scenes and the heads of Julio González.
In 1982 he was awarded the National Prize of Plastic Arts.to

Rafael Canogar ( Toledo , 1935) is a Spanish painter, one of the leading representatives of abstract art in Spain.
Disciple of Daniel Vazquez Díaz (1948-1953), in his first works he found a way to reach the avant garde and, very soon, to study abstraction deeply.
He initially used a sculpture technique: with his hands he scratched or squeezed the paste that vibrated on flat colored backgrounds. It was a painting in which the initial gesture comes directly from the heart. At this point, Canogar embodied the best of painting material .
In 1957 he founded with other artists the EI Paso group.

Hilaire Hiler 1934 WPA Era Color Serigraph – Native American Fox Costume Art
By Hilaire Hiler
Located in Denver, CO
This vibrant 1934 vintage color serigraph (silkscreen print) by acclaimed artist Hilaire Hiler (1898–1966) depicts a stylized Native American figure dressed in a fox costume holding a bow, featuring a bold feather headdress and striking contrasts of black, red, and white. Created during the influential WPA era, this modernist print reflects Hiler’s semi-abstract approach to Native American themes, blending cultural symbolism with avant-garde color theory.
Signed in pencil by Hiler in the lower right margin and titled on the verso, this serigraph is a rare and evocative example of early 20th-century American modernism.
About Hilaire Hiler:
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Hiler studied at the University of Paris and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts before immersing himself in the European avant-garde scene. He supported his art career by performing as a jazz musician in Paris.
Returning to the U.S. in 1934, Hiler contributed murals to the WPA Aquatic Park...

Rafael Canogar ( Toledo , 1935) is a Spanish painter, one of the leading representatives of abstract art in Spain. After the Spanish Civil War, Rafael Canogar and his family took up residence in Madrid in 1944. Disciple of Daniel Vazquez Díaz (1948-1953), with whom he mastered a figurative language inspired by the work of Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. In 1954 Canogar began to experiment with abstraction and informalism, motivated by Michel Tapié’s call for a collective art phenomenon. In 1957 he founded with other artists the EI Paso group. With artists like Luis Feito, Manolo Millares, Pablo Serrano, Manuel Rivera and Antonio Saura, he begins the Spanish avant-garde movement and continues to do so until 1960. It is influenced by Action painting. They defended, between 1957 and 1960 , an informal aesthetic and the opening of Franco Spain to the international scene. Informalism was eminently the expression of freedom, of the unique and unrepeatable, carried out with a direct and spontaneous calligraphy. Works eminently intuitive and passionate, made with the urgency that time, age and theories claimed. pieta, brothers in arms.
He initially used a sculpture technique: with his hands he scratched or squeezed the paste that vibrated on flat colored backgrounds. It was a painting in which the initial gesture comes directly from the heart. At this point, Canogar embodied the best of painting material .
1974 Rafael Canogar participated along with Wolf Vostell , Edward Kienholz and other artists in Berlin in the activities of ADA - Aktionen der Avantgarde.
In 1975 he abandons this realism and during a period realizes eminently abstract works, an analysis of the painting, of the support, of the bidimensionality of the painting. But Canogar needs to invent a new iconography , recover the memory and - in a tribute to the historical avant-gardes - that he realizes through the mask, the head, the face, as a representation of the man who loses his individuality and becomes a plastic sign. Similar in political objective to Joan Genoves he also utilized some of the techniques of pop art to devastating effect
In 1982 receives the Golden Ball the National Prize of Plastic Arts . There are his works in several museums of modern art: Cuenca , Madrid, Barcelona, Turin, Rome, Caracas and Pittsburgh (Carnegie Institute), etc.
In 1984 he was included in the prestigious Various Artists with Antoni Tapies, Rufino Tamayo, Robert Motherwell, José Guerrero...
