Antonio Seguí (Argentine, b.1934) is a painter and printmaker whose vivid, often satirical figurative works focus on the people and vistas of modern urban life. Seguí studied art at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His early work displays the influence of the Cubists and of artists such as Fernand Léger (French, 1881-1955) and Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886-1957). Seguí had his first solo exhibition in his native Argentina at the age of 23. Since then, he has exhibited at galleries and institutions throughout the world, and his work is represented in the permanent collections of the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, among many others. In 2005, his work was the subject of a retrospective at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris. He lives and works in Paris.
