César Manrique is Lanzarote, Lanzarote is César Manrique

This sentence is the beginning of the text about César Manrique in the Müller‘s tourist guide about Lanzarote – and if you are on the island, you will quickly notice how correct this is…

Life

There are only a few others that shaped the island of Lanzarote as much as the artist César Manrique. Manrique was, among other things, committed to continue the development of Lanzarote in the traditional style and to abstain from buildings that are higher than an adult palm.This measure has largely kept away the mass tourism from Lanzarote and Lanzarote was not plastered with hotels.

César Manrique was born on 24 April 1919 in Arrecife, Lanzarote. He went to school in Lanzarote and graduated to a civil engineer degree at the University of La Laguna in Tenerife. In 1945 he attended the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid, where he earned champion for drawing and painting in 1950. In 1964, Manrique was awarded a scholarship from the International Institute of Art Education for the study of American art in the United States. But in 1968 he returned to Lanzarote and as an old family friend, Pepin Ramirez, was president of the island’s government, Manrique’s ideas had an influential supporter and Manrique was able to convert most of his proposals.

On 25th of September 1992 César Manrique was killed in a traffic accident close to his fundación in Tahiche.

Important

Since most works of Manrique are large visitor attractions, it is advisable -in case you travel alone- to visit these in the afternoon, as the large tour groups have usually already been gone.

If you plan to visit several properties of Manrique, it is advisable to buy tickets for 4 to 6 visits which are offered by the Centro de Arte, Cultura y Turismo. You can buy them at every sight at the cash desks.

Museum César Manrique’s house in Haría

The former residence of architect and artist César Manrique in Haría, where he spent the last few years until his sudden death, has been a popular tourist attraction for locals and tourists since 2013.
It offers you a good insight into the life of the famous artist, who played a major role in the painting of the island of Lanzarote.
Since 2013, this building, ” César Manrique’s house ” also known as the Palm House, has been a museum.

Already in 1986 he started to design and build this property.
He renovated this old and run-down farmhouse, which he had already bought in the 1970s and created the surrounding area by keeping the natural atmosphere as lively as possible.
His modern visions of aesthetics and comfort have been combined with traditional architecture.
Unfortunately, Manrique could only experience the place until his accidental death in 1992, near the Fundacion Cesar Manrique in Tahiche.

Today the César Manrique’s house in Haría offers us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the life of this famous artist for a while.
You can move freely through the rooms and also a part of the palm garden is accessible for visitors.

Most of the furniture and things that César Manrique used during his work as an artist are exactly as he had left them on the day of his death on September 25, 1992. The whole property – house, the atelier and the garden, separated from it, convey a particularly quiet and cosy atmosphere.
In the workshop where the artist painted back then, the original scenario can be seen.
Colours, tables with drawings, easels and unfinished paintings were stored as César Manrique left them.

There are also many information materials about César Manrique’s work and his extraordinary life.
A very interesting film shows deep insights into his special character.
It is therefore advisable to allow sufficient time during a visit to the César Manrique Museum.
