ARISTODIMOS KALDIS Untitled (Village Landscape).
Oil on canvas. 408x308 mm; 16x12 inches.
Provenance: Private collection, New York.
Turkish-born and Greek-raised Kaldis (1899-1979) was associated with the New York School of Abstract Expressionists and known for his robust personality and Mediterranean-inspired, lyrical paintings. During the 1940s, he supported himself by giving lectures on art and archeology in a room at Carnegie Hall— with Willem de Kooning operating the slide projector. Many of the up-and-coming artists of the New York School attended these art lectures. Kaldis was also the first living American artist to have his work purchased by the Albert C. Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania.
