Greco II is part of a larger sculptural, literary and audio-visual project by the painter, sculptor and printmaker Rafael Canogar (Toledo, 1935), in which Fundación Azcona documented the five-month process of creating the sculptures entitled Greco I and Greco II.
From the blank page to the sketches, the maquette, cutting the steel sheets and welding the pieces together through to the completion of Greco I (82 × 60 × 54 cm, gunmetal) and Greco II —a large-scale sculpture—, the entire creative process is recorded in a not-for-sale book and a short documentary film about the work of the co-founder of the El Paso group and winner of the Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas in 1982.

Greco’, a literary and audio-visual project by Fundación Azcona in which the foundation photographed and filmed the painter, sculptor and printmaker Rafael Canogar for five months throughout the process of creating the sculptures entitled Greco I and Greco II.
