MORE

Amerigo Tot was an Italian sculptor and painter who became famous in the middle decades of the 20th century. He used a variety of materials in his work, including bronze, stone and wood.
Tot's sculptures often reflect the organic relationship between human forms and nature, and in many cases have a symbolic meaning.

After World War II, Tot moved to Italy, where he further developed his artistic style. During his years there he participated in numerous exhibitions and won international recognition. During his career, he was commissioned by many public and private clients, and is responsible for several public sculptures.

Tot's sculptural works are characterised by lyricism, dynamism and symbolism. His works often deal with the human condition and the relationship between nature and man. In addition to his sculptures, his graphic works are also noteworthy and made him a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene.

After his death, his legacy lives on and his works are an important part of the Hungarian and international art scene. Tot's art continues to have a significant influence on contemporary artists because of his role in the development of modern sculpture.
