About the Item

Líbero Badii Argentine, 1916-2001 Cuatro Ojos Oil on canvas 15 ¾ X 11 ¾ in. w/ frame 17 X 13 in. Signed verso Born in 1916 in Arezzo, Italy, Badii arrived with his family in Argentina in 1927, taking citizenship in 1947. He began his sculptural training in his father's marble workshop. At the end of his Fine Arts studies, he embarked on a trip to the north of Argentina, which later extended to Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. South America meant for him the possibility of opening up to new imaginative fields that broke with his academic formation. Two years later, he visited France, Spain and Italy. In search of his own visual language that would renew the artistic tradition, his works are the result of the crossing between forms of pre-Hispanic art and the language of the European avant-garde of the first half of the 20th century. At the end of the 1960s, he began to develop the concept of "the sinister", as a way of conceiving artistic creation as opposed to "the classic", understood as the aesthetic foundations inherited from the great masters. In the early 1970s, he continued to elaborate this idea, which he began to associate with the Latin American, and it materialized in works constructed from assembled wood with pure and contrasting colors. His numerous exhibitions include a retrospective at the National Museum of Fine Arts in 1962 and, in 1968, the great exhibition at the Di Tella Institute in Buenos Aires, as well as participation in the Sao Paulo Biennial, where he won the International Prize in 1971.
