About Juan Del Prete

  • Biography

    Juan del Petre was a self-taught artist from Argentina who developed an interest in art from a young age. He gained recognition after sending one of his works to the National Salon in 1925, which led to his first individual exhibition. He later moved to Paris and collaborated with artists such as Jean Arp, Torres García, and Alexander Calder.

    In 1933, he returned to Argentina and exhibited his non-figurative paintings, which were not well-received. He moved to Italy twenty years later and was awarded numerous prizes throughout his career, including the International Grand Prize in Brussels in 1958. He represented the IV International Biennial of Sao Paulo in 1957
