Leopoldo NOVOA (born 1919 in Pontevedra (Spain), died 2012 in Bry-sur-Marne) Untitled, 1975 Canvas painted and mounted in tension on a panel decorated with reliefs, signed and dated on the right-hand side, countersigned with the artist's address on the reverse Slight soiling 41 x 80.5 x 9 cm Exhibition: Salon Comparaison (handwritten note on reverse) Collection of the couple Tachia and Charles Rozoff, Paris Tachia Rozoff, born Tachia Quintanar in Spain in 1929, arrived in Paris in 1953 to escape Franco's regime. A poet and actress, in 1956 she had an intense love affair with Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014), appearing in several of the Colombian novelist's works. Bolstered by her humanist convictions and her living passion for poetry, Tachia, with the help of her husband Charles, a Russian-born engineer and adventurer, turned her house into a wonderful home for artistic expression, welcoming painters, writers and musicians from Spain and South America fleeing dictatorial regimes, as well as exiles from Eastern Europe, North Africa and even China. Their collection reflects their commitment, eclecticism and universality, and testifies to the essential role played by Paris in the post-war decades as a haven for international creativity.
