Alfredo Prior, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a painter, writer, performer and musician. He lives and works in Buenos Aires where he had his first solo exhibition at the age of 18. The presence of bears, rabbits, elephants, dogs and other fable animals are persistent elements in Prior’s paintings. == Influences and early experiences == He acknowledges Argentine artist Juan Del Prete as one of his predecessors, fluctuating and elaborating dialectics in a line of consecutive abstract and figurative paintings. He studied oriental arts and literature, a fact that would impact his work enormously. Very early in his life, Prior bet on romantic and hallucinogen painting. Whilst Romero Brest –one of Buenos Aires' most influential persons in visual arts during the sixties and seventies - had declared the death of painting, Prior devoted eight years to work in exacerbating the pictorial materials of his works to the point of conquering another literature. Prior needed to spread out what modernists wished to eradicate: the fable, the tale. For him, abstraction and figurative art were a two-sided coin. After the experience of his first exhibition, where he presented 28 portraits of children made with tempera and wax, provoking brand new tensions on the collective imaginary (Lirolay Gallery, 1970), Prior began working on new abstract series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfredo Prior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
