Catalogue Note

Velasquez, Portrait de l'Infante Marie-Thérèse, vers 1654 © D.R.

"Le portrait prend corps, devient construction et s'inscrit dans la troisième dimension. Valdès emploie des matériaux dans ses toiles, ses peintures prennent du relief et finalement, c'est toute l'iconographie de Valdès qui demande à devenir sculpture." (Kosme de Baranano, Manolo Valdès, Barcelone, 1999, p.184)
