On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the artist César Manrique (1919), the Cabildo of Lanzarote republished the doctoral thesis written by the professor and researcher Violeta Izquierdo, which constitutes a rigorous analysis of the artist's work. In it she analyses, supported by abundant images of the life and artistic production of the Lanzarote artist, the different stages of César Manrique's life and the special characteristics of his work.

This book places Manrique's work in a global context, beyond the local or national, positioning him in the field of international art. It analyses his versatile production in painting, sculpture, architecture and design, throughout the main stages of his life in Lanzarote, Madrid and New York. The work highlights both his links with the environmental values of the Canary Islands and the universal nature of his proposals, highlighting his singularity as an artist and his role as an ambassador of nature and art in the world.
