Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes
Peter Krausz was born in Romania in 1946 and graduated from the Bucharest Academy of Fine Arts in 1969 before coming to Montreal in 1970. Using the ancient painting technique “secco” which means “dry” in Italian, Krausz creates vibrant canvases achieved by applying many transparent layers of colour. Frequently portraying lush landscapes or bucolic views of the countryside, Krausz’s work is meant to engage the viewer in an act of remembrance. The calm and peaceful landscapes he paints are in fact sites of historic violence; the passage of time eliminating signs of atrocities. From 1980 to 1991, Krausz was the curator of the Saidye Bronfman Centre for Fine Arts in Montreal. Since 1991, he has taught in the Department of Art History and Cinema at the University of Montreal. Peter Krausz is represented by the De Bellefeuille Gallery in Montreal, the Mira Godard Gallery in Toronto and the Forum Gallery in New York.
