GAZA (2008) Painting by Alien

SZAMOSFALVI ALBERT painter

The most important thing I learned at Tralfamadore is that a person who dies only seems to die. She continues to live in the past and it's totally ridiculous to cry at her funeral. The past, the present, the future have always existed, will continue forever. […]
A Tralfamadorian, in the presence of a corpse, is content to think that the dead man is in poor condition at the present time, but that the same individual is quite well at many other times. Today, when someone tells me that someone has died, I shrug my shoulders and say the words of the Tralfamadorians on this occasion: C’EST LA VIE.

He was born in Budapest in 1953, his father was a remarkable painter,
hence a very natural vocation.
From the age of sixteen, he began to attend art schools,
and is part of the groups, which have more and more confrontations
cultural activities with the communist regime (also a founding member
of group music "human sport"
He (Albert) participates in several exhibitions called "underground".
and is part of the famous " band of poets "
To see the world he decides to leave his country without a passport and begins to galley in France in Paris.
There he participates in some exhibitions and also tries to exhibit in
Germany, and Holland
Three years later he arrived in Sud-France, where he continued to exhibit,
to live and create, but recently also in Budepest

I'm 64, and I've been painting since I was 16.
I am the child of two artists, he paints, she music.
I had a happy childhood with them.
The "job" I learned the old way from more advanced artists.
France I chose out of sympathy, I was 33 years old.
Since then I have raised more or less 5 children.
