Leandro del Manzo, a native of Argentina, is a fourth generation artist. His talent was recognized at a very young age and a public exhibition of his work was held when he was thirteen years old at the Museum of Art in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Leandro studied drawing and painting with renowned artist Martinez Howard who had studied with Lino Spilimbergo and the great Hungarian artist Lajo Szalay. Leandros’s paintings are included in several International public and private collections in Argentina, Sao Paulo, Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Madrid, Paris, Vienna, Zurich, Mexico City, and Toronto. In the United States his work is included in collections in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City and Charlotte. His subjects often include the tango and cabarets, both of which are featured in this current exhibit. He paints with energy and flourish, and a great sense of color, even with his paintings that are strictly black and white.
