Anton Sipos was born in 1938 in the small village of Donji Vakuf in the central mountain region of Yugoslavia. Drawing has been the anchor of his restless, unsettled life. He left home in his teens and supported himself as a film animation artist. His very first collaboration Surrogat (1961) won an Academy Award for best animated short subject. Six years in Paris saw him become one of the elite painters of the Ecole de Paris. His paintings from this period hang in major galleries throughout Europe, in the company of works by Pugni, Clave, Chagall, Buffet, Pignon, and others. He exhibited annually at the Salon des Artists Francais in the Grand Palais. In 1970 Anton arrived in Los Angeles and immersed himself in his work. His superb classical training won him a contract with the Eleanor Ettinger Studios in New York to work with Norman Rockwell, transposing his original oils to lithographic plates. His latest film collaboration was with Andrei Konchalovsky on Maria's Lovers (1984), a film in which Anton appears in a scene with Natassja Kinski. For more than 30 years, Anton Sipos' unflagging devotion to his own unique impressionist vision, has resulted in a rich harvest of paintings, which stand the test of time.
