A Large Painting by Istvan Lendvay Ca' 1960's
A large and funky modern painting by Istvan Lendvay, a Canadian artist from Hungary (1929-2016).
Istvan was born in 1929 in a small village in the countryside of western Hungary. His artistic talents appeared at an early age when he designed and made the background sets for his schools' theatrical productions. Due to political turmoil in 1956, Istvan escaped on foot through mine strewn and barb- wired fields and forests making his way into the foothills of the Austrian Alps. Eventually he found himself in England. The following year he came to Toronto, Canada where he has lived since.
While still in Hungary in 1955 and later in Canada in 1977 and 1994, he earned several post graduate degrees in architectural applied fine arts and architectural sciences. He has traveled extensively in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, Papua Guinea, North, South, and Central America, Asia, the Caribbean, the Indonesian Islands, Antarctica and the Canadian Arctic, north of the 75th degree latitude. Since 1980 Istvan shared his time between his studio in Toronto, Ontario and his gallery in the Town of the Blue Mountains, Ontario. With well over three thousand pieces sold, Istvan’s extensive works of art which include paintings, graphics, and sculpture, are displayed in galleries and private collections world wide. Istvan passed away in January 2016 and leaves behind a unique collection of his visions in vivid colours, heavy textures, and intricate details.
