Dorohoi, Romania, 1915 - Paris, France, 1991

Additional info:

Alexandru Istrati was a Franco-Romanian avantgarde painter and winner of the Prix Kandinsky in 1953. His work was characterised by the application of spots, blotches, or stains of colour to the canvas and was associated with Tachism. He exploited the raw physicality of the use of paint, turning his canvases into highly energetic sculptural objects, rather than mere two-dimensional representations. His work was exhibited at Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul de Vence; Musée d'Art Contemporain, Dunkerque; Circle and Square Gallery, New York; Gres Gallery, Washington D.C; Galería de Arte Contemporáneo, Caracas; Galeria del Naviglio, Milan; Kunstverein, Cologne; Musée Nationale d’Art Moderne, Paris; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Madrid; Kunsthalle Zurich; San Francisco Museum; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.
