About the Item

Bíró was led by the symbolic meaning in applying the colors: red was standing for blood, the inner life. Yellow was the light, and the mauve was the genius. In the early sixties, a Menton journalist Jean Bomy asked why he became an abstract painter and replied, "Because I was tired of figurative images. During his search, the painter is liberated and purified.The painter does not have to copy what he sees but must display what he feels. Abstract and figurative paintings apply equally when it comes from within. " At the end of his life he returned home to Hungary. His lyrical and gestational abstract paintings are part of the post war School of Paris.
