Antonio Segui

(Córdoba: 11 January 1934 - Buenos Aires: 26 February 2022)

A painting student at the Beaux-Arts de Córdoba, he completed his training and his eye during a trip to Europe and Africa in the early 1950s, during which Seguí attended painting and sculpture courses at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and Madrid. Initially inspired by German figurative painters such as Otto Dix and George Grosz, his first works reflected a certain irony of the world.

On his return to Argentina, he organised his first exhibition in 1957, before returning to Latin America, stopping off in Mexico to study all the engraving techniques, particularly those used by muralists.

Antonio Seguí finally settled in Paris after representing Argentina at the 1963 Biennale. His style evolved towards a more absurd and humorous figuration that brought him closer to Ferdinand Léger and Diego Rivera: he used multiple drawing, painting and engraving techniques in urban worlds bursting with colour. The teeming city is an anonymous theatre of busy characters under their hats.

His work is exhibited worldwide in over a hundred museums and galleries.
