DADO (born Miodrag Đurić, in 1933 in Cetinje, province of Mo - Lot 18
DADO (born Miodrag Đurić, in 1933 in Cetinje, province of Montenegro, Yugoslavia and died in 2010 in Pontoise) Untitled, 1959 Oil on canvas, signed and dated lower right Minor wear to lower left corner 89 x 144 cm This unpublished painting by Dado, painted in Paris in 1959, three years after the painter's arrival in France, belongs to his first series of large, often monochrome compositions, featuring figures on extremely chaotic architectural backgrounds. Daniel Cordier, who first exhibited Dado's work in 1958 on the recommendation of Jean Dubuffet, owned a very similar painting, L'Architecte, also dated 1959, which is now in the collections of the Musée National d'Art Moderne/Centre Georges Pompidou thanks to his donation. Collection of the couple Tachia and Charles Rozoff, Paris Tachia Rozoff, born Tachia Quintanar in Spain in 1929, arrived in Paris in 1953 to escape Franco's regime. A poet and actress, in 1956 she had an intense love affair with Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014), appearing in several of the Colombian novelist's works. Strengthened by her humanist convictions and her living passion for poetry, Tachia, with the help of her husband Charles, a Russian-born engineer-adventurer, turned her house into a formidable home for artistic expression, welcoming painters, writers and musicians, whether Spanish or South American fleeing dictatorial regimes, or exiles from Eastern Europe, North Africa or even China. Their collection reflects their commitment, eclecticism and universality, and testifies to the essential role played by Paris in the post-war decades as a haven for international creativity.
