José Antonio Fernández-Muro(1920–2014) was born in Spain and emigrated to Argentina in 1938. Fernández-Muro's early work was geometric, often incorporating texture and using a stencil to cover his canvases in dots. When he moved to New York in 1962, he began to produce foil impressions of manhole covers and sidewalks that he obtained from the streets of New York at night, which he then adhered to his paintings. This series was contemporaneous with the Pop art movement in the United States. After living in the US for several years, Fernández-Muro returned to Europe in 1970 and eventually settled in Madrid.
