He was inspired by multiple sources including Spanish Baroque artists such as Velázquez, Zurbarán and Sánchez Cotán; 19th-century American Realists like William Harnett and John F. Peto; and Italian Renaissance artists, with whom he shares the love for the human figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEarly in his career, he developed a personal style characterized by a masterful draftsmanship, a dramatic almost theatrical use of light and colour, and the juxtaposition of volumes and transparencies. His subject matter has varied over the years. From still-lives to religious characters, from portraiture to equine representations, his paintings depict staged scenes that combine reality and fantasy in an oneiric atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost recently, his series \u003cem\u003eObra Negra\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on three main themes: the ghostly horse, the bull and the woman in red. These monumental canvases, in which he uses a sort of assemblage to attain volume, result in compelling images that are, by far, his most magnificent to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430494060780,"sku":"9788857242637","price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857242637.jpg?v=1774520769","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/david-manzur-9788857242637","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
