About the Author:
Poet Laureate of France, Alain Bosquet writes about Leza Lidow's art: "Taming dreams and hallucinations is the goal of this art. For Leza Lidow, attitude and people should come out from reality and evolve either towards poesy, or towards prime innocence,or towards absurding." In the painting men with dog's heads, she has renewed an old myth. For a long time, various people believed in men-dog. Marco Polo talks about existing men with dogs' heads on some islands in the Indian Ocean. They are described as ferocious while Leza Lidow's figures are, on the contrary, quite sympathetic." Leza Lidow has exhibited paintings and sculptures in Europe and the United States, exhibiting at the Grand Palais automme in 1992 and the Societe des Artistes Francais at the Grand Palais also in 1992.
