Eduardo Arroyo was a famous Spanish painter and graphic designer. As his contempt for Spanish politics grew, he relocated to Paris in 1958. There, he made close associations with prominent figures in the art industry.
One such figure is Arroyo’s future stage colleague Gilles Aillaud, for whom Arroyo designed sets intended as aesthetic declarations of their distaste for modern French art.
Arroyo’s artwork is a fusion of figuration, storytelling, and pop art. His art is characterized by its lack of spatial depth and leveling of perspective. These cartoon-like renditions portrayed their subjects in a simplified interpretation of pictorial space.
