Pedro Uhartwww.pedro-uhart.comThe Chilean artist of Basque origin Pedro Uhart was born in 1938. He initially began studying economics at the University of Concepción, but quite soon realized his true calling and, after moving to Europe in 1965, enrolled in the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He soon abandoned it, however, finding the teaching there too academic (and looking at his drawings, one understands what he meant).
Uhart’s work often draws upon the folklore motifs of his native Chile and is distinguished by the use of pure, vivid colors outlined in strong black contours. The artist regularly took part in international exhibitions (including, for example, the Paris Biennale) and also held his own shows in France, Spain, the USA, Germany, Switzerland, and beyond. Pedro Uhart’s works are held in the collections of the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, the National Library of France, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
Among other things, Uhart created a series of works illustrating The Master and Margarita — in his signature style, with bright colors and expressive manner.
