About the Item

Eric Forlee American, b. 1949 Cheetah Oil on canvas 24 by 36 in, w/ frame 34 by 46 in Signed and dated ‘Eric Forlee 90’ A painter of large wild African animals from portraits to panoramas, he was born in China and as a child was fascinated by books and photographs of wildlife on the African continent. His father was African, but he only met him once when he was age 7 and his mother left her young son behind to move permanently to Africa. He was raised by a grandmother and had an unhappy childhood in Mou Ming. He was forbidden to draw in school because that was reserved as an upper class activity. He spent six years in a Chinese labor camp during the Cultural Revolution. He currently resides in California and travels through out the year to Africa to paint. Eric is considered one of the leading safari painters in the world. He has exhibited his works throughout the United States and Internationally. Provenance: Private Collection, New York Le Trianon Fine Art Antiques, Sheffield, Ma.

Emory Ladanyi Hungarian, 1902-1986 Thunderous Mixed Media on Canvas Signed Lower Right Inscribed & titled on Verso 40 by 48 in. W/frame 42 by 50 in. Born November 8, 1902 in Kecskemet, Hungary, the child of Mihaly and Maria Ladanyi, Emory Ladanyi moved with his family to Eger, a town famous for its good wine. He studied at the High School of Science and Art. At fifteen, he discovered anatomy in a textbook and began to consider a career in medicine, and was accepted into the Medical School of The University of Budapest to become a medical student. He received his doctoral degree in 1927 and did his residency in dermatology in the largest hospital in Berlin, then one of the most prominent dematology centers of Europe. In Berlin, he was especially impressed by the works of Edvard Munch, forerunner of German Expressionism, who exerted a lasting influence on his work. Following medical residency in Vienna, he was also impressed by the works of Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Kokoschka. In 1928 he returned to Budapest to continue postgraduate studies, also advancing his art education. His many friends were among the avant-garde poets and writers of that time. In March 1929, he arrived in New York. June of that year, he passed the medical boards, and in September received his license to practice medice in the State of New York. Outside of the medical profession which enabled him the livelihood to continue to paint, he moved exclusively in avant-garde circles of New York City. He was a close friend of the composer Edgar Varese. Others of his circle were poet Kenneth Patchen...
