Message:: [QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 255281, member: 56"]Someone a while ago mentioned Endre Szasz, a Hungarian artist who lived in Toronto in the ‘70s.  These are reproductions I purchased back then at the gallery that represented him. Sooo.... hardly new finds. I believe he worked as much with his fingers as with brushes. I went to the gallery after seeing a newspaper write-up about him.  These reproductions are vintage but worth very little.  I like them anyhow.  Steampunk… decades before the term was coined. “Omar Khyyam”, “The Rose”, and “Where Did the Last Snow Go?” (each about 21” high)[ATTACH=full]79203[/ATTACH] “The Red Bird”, and “Don Quixote” (each about 24”)[ATTACH=full]79221[/ATTACH] A propos of nothing at all: the Gallery was on Rexdale Blvd. in Toronto, down the road from the Woodbine horseracing track.  As I recall, I went from the gallery to the track where the Queen’s Plate, one of Canada’s biggest racing events, was being held. Standing by the paddock as the jockeys walked their mounts, someone called out to one of the best known, Avelino Gomez, “How you gonna do?”  Gomez, who had won 4 previous Queen’s plates, smiled, waved back and said “Number 5!”  Sure enough, his horse ran fifth.[/QUOTE]
