(Without figuration, few fun)

Photography by Eva Blanch

“Where is sex, death, memory...? Where the mystery? I look for excitement and here I only find inconsequentiality. In non-figurative art, which they mistakenly call abstract art, I cannot find, no matter how hard I try, love, sin, divinity, friendship, the passage of time, death, humor, fleeting memories..., in short, everything that I am passionate about and helps me continue living.” With this certainty, Oscar Tusquets begins this unique book that is the result of merging two projects separated in time: his first essay, Más que discutible (1994), updated, and the ArtwithOSCAR series, on which he has been working since 2015 together with Eva Blanch.

The result is Sin Figuración, poca diversión, a delicious tour of a multitude of subjects related to art - architectural works, sculptures, paintings, photographs and designs - where the reader will discover an infinite number of stimuli and knowledge, and the fascinating aesthetic ideas that Oscar Tusquets always insists on (but does not repeat).
