Rafael Canogar: Toledo, 1960
“Toledo, …, is a work of special intensity. The year Canogar painted it, MOMA included it in the New Spanish Painting and Sculpture exhibition. It is, without doubt, one of his most celebrated works. Named after the Castilian city in which he was born, it belongs to that long chain of works which begins with El Greco’s views. The best of these paintings is to be found in New York’s Metropolitan. Nobody should expect to find here the towers, the narrow streets, the Alcázar, the synagogues, the bend in the river Tajo or the skies which so fascinated El Greco. Canogar’s is not a figurative city, but a metaphorical one that he reconstructs from memory. It is the conflict of an action painter who, using solely plastic materials, resurrects Toledo in his dream and constructs an imaginary town on a hill”
