About the Item

David Solot, a dentist and painter, was born in Falciu (Romania) and settled in Paris in 1928. His art was surrealistic dentally inspired plus portraits and city landscapes. **************************** Translated from an article by Luana Hrisanti Rigot: "In 1956, at the Charlotte Norberg Gallery (Paris), he presented his first personal exhibition, composed of an ensemble of surrealist paintings of professional inspiration (dental elements). Two years later, at Gallery Royale (Rochefort), he exhibits another 50 paintings on the subject. At that time, a decisive event for the painter David Solot was made: a great new-York-born antibiotic producer Lederle Cy learns about his work and contacts him through the US Ambassador to Paris, proposing an advertising contract and buying the reproduction right for 24 of its canvases. A year later, the same company bought the right to print three of its cloths in color. This was the starting point of his international notoriety. In 1959, the American Dental Association celebrated its centenary, and to make it brilliant, David Solot invites him to a large exhibition at Columbus Circle, in Manhattan New York. The press, television is doing a great deal of promotion, and in the end, the interest shown by the medical professionals in the beginning only reaches an echo in the world of passionate art collectors. It is the beginning of a major international adventure! David Solot is invited to Stockholm in 1960, then to Dublin and Belfast by the Cema Art Gallery. In 1962 his works are exhibited in Helsinki. In 1963 his life was disturbed by a very painful event ... His only son, a medical student in the last year, dies in an accident. For two years, overwhelmed by pain, David Solot neglects painting. His wife, Becutza Solot, encourages him to go to Israel. David accepts, and the voyage and exhibition (1965) are successful. When returning from the voyage, he makes material for an exhibition he will present at the Transposition Gallery, while at the Salon of Physicians his "Jerusalem" painting gets the Medal of Honor, the greatest possible reward. Continuing to work on all plans, he adds a new activity to his concerns: writing. In 1967, he was impressed by a passage in Maurice Goudeket book Prés de Colette and writes a script to the author of the book. In 1969, David Solot suffered a new blow, his wife suffered a stroke. During this period, he wrote a play "Le procés du Docteur. Tabart", whose subject matter is in the period immediately following the Second World War, and in which the author associates personal memories with imagined situations. In 1976, his wife died after a long suffering. In 1975, David Solot met a filmmaker, who saw his bands propose to make a short feature. It was a 18-year dream project! The script will bear the title of one of its "Molars Revolt", a symbol of the struggle between life and death. The film is made and is very successful in the professional world, both in France and abroad. On July 1, 1976, David Solot retired. Robert Vrinat, a French art journalist, writes a book about his life, titled 'David Solot', published in 1978 by Editions Vision Sur les Art - Paris." Introduction was written by his American dental colleague Jaroslaw Pikolycky DDS. Dr David Solot died in 1985 in Choisy-le-Roi, France
