Why we love the artist : We love the atmosphere of the Lancelot Ney ink landscapes that synthesize the artist's cubist and abstract influences. His straight, nervous and precise trait makes us think of Pablo Picasso but also of the first abstract works of Piet Mondrian composed only of vertical and horizontal features. In addition, its portraits are very realistic and expressive.
Commentary by the expert and biography : Lancelot Ney (László Ney) is a Hungarian painter who was very successful very quickly, he became a caricaturist known from his youth. At the Hungarian College of Fine Arts, his teacher was István Réti. At the age of 22, he left for Germany and met Moholy-Nagy and through him Kurt Schwitters (German painter, sculptor and poet who embodied the individualist and anarchist spirit of the Dada movement). The abstract painter and art critic Michel Seuphor was one of his friends, he was the one who introduced him to Piet Mondrian. A simple, sincere and honest artist, he knew how to give a renewed interest to the portrait at a time when photography plunged him into disgrace. The artist has a real sensitivity which gives his landscapes this very particular atmosphere where calm and serenity reign. During his career, he participated in numerous fairs and exhibitions (personal and collective) all over the world. His works are present in Museums in France and abroad.
