The Galleria is delighted to have this opportunity to present the
works of consummate artist, Laszlo Kohanecz. This presentation
is especially timely for Kohanecz’s is a classical/realist style and
appropriately, there is a re-emergence of this style in the art
world today. First, however, a few introductory remarks about
the artist.
Laszlo Kohanecz is an internationally known Hungarian-American
artist who was born in 1935 Temerin, Yugoslavia. From his early
childhood on he had a craving for art, and although initially
employed as a miller, he soon abandoned this trade for his true
passion.
In 1963 he went to Paris, France to study art. He worked and
studied in the art capital of the world with great success until
1969. This invaluable experience provided him the opportunity
to develop his exquisite style of painting. His paintings are in
numerous private collections throughout Europe. In 1969 he
emigrated to Canada, and after a brief stay in this country he
emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1970.
