Roberto Mangú, also known as Roberto Mangu Quesada, and Roberto Mangou, is a contemporary artist, best known as a painter, who is also noted for his sculptures, installations, etchings and work as an architect.〔http://%20http://www.seritheque.com/boutique/mangu-m-161.html〕 Born in 1948 and raised in France, from Italian and Spanish descent, Mangú self-defines as European. ==Biography== After a sculpture apprenticeship between 1963 and 1966 in the workshop of Mario Luisetti, Roberto Mangú studies at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts where he earnt a degree in architecture.〔http://www.ledelarge.fr/3986_artiste_mangu__roberto〕 During his first period, between 1981 and 1986, he works in Paris where he paints monumental paintings: ''Aldébaran, Bételgeuse, Dolce Vita,'' which are shown at the Georges Lavrov art gallery and published in the Artforum review in 1983. Between 1987 and 1995, Roberto Mangú lives in Milan where he notably paints a series of standign men ''(Hommes Debout / Uomini in piedi)'' that are shown among other places by Philippe Daverio and at the Musée Cantini in Marseilles. The paintings ''Corpus Mundi, San Francisco'', or ''Le Bateau Ivre'' (inspired by Rimbaud's poem) are representative of this Milanese period. Even though he worked as an architect at this period — Roberto Mangú built a villa in Asnières near Paris which gathered him great international praise — he self defines as a painter. In 1995, Roberto Mangú moved to Spain where he resided in Sevilla then in Madrid. This is where Mintak was born in the shadow of a picture on San Francesco (a theme formerly painted by Zurbaran). Mangú defines Mintak as born from what he calls "the Jaguar spirit", and which is for him the figure of life and permanence. Between 2001 and 2004, Roberto Mangú moved to a place near Toulouse where his art is once more deeply renewed. Inspired by the landscapes and a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, he develops new series including houses drawn in recess or pathways that seem to burst the painting ''(Camino de Santiago, Via Natura, Les Blés à la Cadiscié)'' After living in Bruxelles, Roberto Mangú returned to France where he worked on new colours: the orange of his ''Permanenza'' period (shown in the works: ''Le Visage d'une Eve'', ''La Suite du Temps'', ''Salvador'') then the calmer blue of his ''Mar Adentro'' period. He also developed the series of the previous period (his ''Maisons'' become ''Codex'', ''Mintak'' haunts new series like ''Ombra dell'Inizio'' or ''Rivage''). Roberto Mangú has also had dozens of personal exhibitions of his paintings in galleries in France, Spain, Belgium and Italy.〔"Dictionnaire des arts plastiques modernes et contemporains", Jean-Pierre Delarge, Paris : Gründ, 2001, ISBN 2700030559〕 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「Roberto Mangú」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
