En Sol LeWitt: Libros. El concepto como arte se ha reunido la casi totalidad de las publicaciones que el artista realizó personalmente: libros, carteles, tarjetas y otros materiales efímeros que le permitieron convertir las ideas en obras de arte autonomas gracias a la composicion tipografica y a la claridad de sus depurados diseños minimalistas.

The pioneering drip technique of Jackson Pollock (19121956) introduced the notion of Action Painting, where the canvas became the space with which the artist would actively engage.Reminiscent of the Surrealist notions of the subconscious and automatic painting, Pollocks abstract works cemented his reputation as the most critically championed proponent of Abstract Expressionism. His visceral engagement with emotions, thoughts and other intangibles gives his abstract imagery extraordinary immediacy, while his skilful use of fluid pigment, applied with dance-like movements and sweeping gestures that seldom actually touched the surface, broke decisively with tradition. At first sight, Pollocks vigorous method appears to create chaotic labyrinths, but upon close inspection his strong rhythmic structures become evident, revealing a fascinating complexity and deeper significance. Far from being calculated to shock, Pollocks liquid medium was crucial to his pictorial aims. It proved the ideal vehicle for the mercurial content that he sought to communicate energy and motion made visible memories arrested in space.

Josef Albers (18881976) is certainly more famous today for his links to the Bauhaus, where he studied and later taught from 1920 to 1933, and for his oil paintings in the series Homage to the Square (195076) than for his graphic work. Yet he also created prints and drawings throughout his career. His graphic work ranges from the austere blacks and whites of his first woodblock printswith subjects inspired in the landscape of the coal mines in his native town, Bottrop, in the former province of Westphalia (now in North Rhine-Westphalia)to the vivid colors and abstract geometry of his screenprints from the 1960s and 70s. Albers, like so many other artists, found printmaking to be particularly congenial because of the economical production involved, the creative liberty of the medium, and the opportunity that it offers for trial and error, experimentation and innovation.

Valencia se convirtió en un importante foco de producción artística, poco antes de empezar el siglo XV. Entre los obradores de pintura que se inician estos años en la ciudad de Valencia destaca el del pintor Pere Nicolau (1390-1408), en el que se formaron y trabajaron maestros como Antoni Peris, Gonçal Peris, Jaume Mateu o Gonçal Peris Sarria. La pieza fundamental para el estudio de su trayectoria es el retablo de los Siete Gozos de la Virgen Maria' procedente de Sarrion (Teruel). A partir de la investigacion documental e historiografica publicada sobre Nicolau, se elabora la trayectoria artistica, que permite conocer mejor el funcionamiento y la organizacion de un obrador de pintura medieval. Este volumen elabora una revision completa y rigurosa del pintor Pere Nicolau, el iniciador de la escuela de la pintura gotica valenciana.
