Antonio López García

There's nothing like some great Spanish art in the summer, so today International Lodging Corporation is featuring the legendary work of Antonio López García. García was born in Tomelloso in 1936, and has consistently produced masterfully realist paintings that represent complex human relationships in the midst of Spanish history.

The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid houses many of the classic García pieces. His work is also currently on display in a major American retrospective at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston.
