About the Item

Líbero Badii Argentine, 1916-2001 Cuatro Ojos Oil on canvas 15 ¾ X 11 ¾ in. w/ frame 17 X 13 in. Signed verso Born in 1916 in Arezzo, Italy, Badii arrived with his family in Argentina in 1927, taking citizenship in 1947. He began his sculptural training in his father's marble workshop. At the end of his Fine Arts studies, he embarked on a trip to the north of Argentina, which later extended to Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. South America meant for him the possibility of opening up to new imaginative fields that broke with his academic formation. Two years later, he visited France, Spain and Italy. In search of his own visual language that would renew the artistic tradition, his works are the result of the crossing between forms of pre-Hispanic art and the language of the European avant-garde of the first half of the 20th century. At the end of the 1960s, he began to develop the concept of "the sinister", as a way of conceiving artistic creation as opposed to "the classic", understood as the aesthetic foundations inherited from the great masters. In the early 1970s, he continued to elaborate this idea, which he began to associate with the Latin American, and it materialized in works constructed from assembled wood with pure and contrasting colors. His numerous exhibitions include a retrospective at the National Museum of Fine Arts in 1962 and, in 1968, the great exhibition at the Di Tella Institute in Buenos Aires, as well as participation in the Sao Paulo Biennial, where he won the International Prize in 1971.

Emory Ladanyi Hungarian, 1902-1986 Thunderous Mixed Media on Canvas Signed Lower Right Inscribed & titled on Verso 40 by 48 in. W/frame 42 by 50 in. Born November 8, 1902 in Kecskemet, Hungary, the child of Mihaly and Maria Ladanyi, Emory Ladanyi moved with his family to Eger, a town famous for its good wine. He studied at the High School of Science and Art. At fifteen, he discovered anatomy in a textbook and began to consider a career in medicine, and was accepted into the Medical School of The University of Budapest to become a medical student. He received his doctoral degree in 1927 and did his residency in dermatology in the largest hospital in Berlin, then one of the most prominent dematology centers of Europe. In Berlin, he was especially impressed by the works of Edvard Munch, forerunner of German Expressionism, who exerted a lasting influence on his work. Following medical residency in Vienna, he was also impressed by the works of Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Kokoschka. In 1928 he returned to Budapest to continue postgraduate studies, also advancing his art education. His many friends were among the avant-garde poets and writers of that time. In March 1929, he arrived in New York. June of that year, he passed the medical boards, and in September received his license to practice medice in the State of New York. Outside of the medical profession which enabled him the livelihood to continue to paint, he moved exclusively in avant-garde circles of New York City. He was a close friend of the composer Edgar Varese. Others of his circle were poet Kenneth Patchen...
