Biography of Manolo Millares
Manolo Millares was born in 1926 in Las Palmas (Canary Islands, Spain). Self-taught, first surrealist, he gets seriously involved in abstract art. He settles in Madrid in 1953 and sets up with Antonio Saura the vanguard group « El Paso » (« The Stage »), a group he wants subversive. In the 50s, Millares realizes tragic collages from pieces of hessian combined with violent touches of red, black and white... In the early 60s, he is known worlwide. The Spanish artist exhibits in New York (Pierre Matisse Gallery, 1961). In Madrid, Millares is associated with « Informalists » such as Antoni Tàpies, Enrique Tabara, Antonio Saura, Anibal Villacis ... Gesture is favored, turning down from art all kind of concept and theory. With his art, Manolo Millares, tried to approach the truth, dissecting humankind for an answer to his existential fear. With his painting Millares (born from republicans persecuted during the Franco period) keeps on being obsessed with tragedy, hate and death. The artist died in Madrid in 1972, he was 46.

Artists on display
The art and the artists display: proclamations, galleries, museums, personal or collective exhibitions. On walls or in shop windows, wise or rebels, posters warn, argue, show. Some were specially conceived by an artist for such or such event, other, colder, have only the letter.
Some were created in lithographic technic, most are simple offset reproductions. They are many those who like collecting these rectangles of paper, monochrome or in games of colours, in matt paper or brilliant, with many words or almost dumb.
We are happy also to be able to greet, by this pages, mythical galleries as those of Denise René, Louis Carré, Claude Bernard, Berheim Jeune, Maeght, Pierre Loeb and others.
