Exploring the little-known drawing practice of a late giant of Spanish sculpture. Juan Munoz (1953 2001) was a Spanish artist and self-described "storyteller" who worked primarily as a sculptor. Best known for his unsettling papier-mache characters that seem to be caught in the middle of an action suspended in time, Munoz made remarkable and pioneering breaks from the traditional and formal language of sculpture by introducing narrative elements into his work. This is the first overview of Munoz's little-known work in illustration, featuring his drawings and works on paper held by museum and gallery collections across Europe and the United States. With critical texts and essays to accompany the works, this volume contextualises the artist's drawing practice both within his larger oeuvre and the influence of 18th- and 19th-century European and Spanish drawing traditions.
