Antonio Seguí

Antonio Hugo Seguí (Spanish pronunciation: [anˈtonjo seˈɣi]; 11 January 1934 – 26 February 2022) was an Argentine cartoonist, painter, engraver, book illustrator, and sculptor,[1] who lived and worked in Paris.

[2] After his return to Argentina, he became a member of the editorial staff of the journal Orientación, a Cordovan publication that supported the candidacy for the Presidency of Arturo Frondizi.

[4][3] Seguí’s works are generally possessed by a satirical sense of humor, critiquing society and human nature.

[3] A recurring theme in Seguí's work is urban life and its inhabitants which seem like speedy automatons that take immutable routes leading nowhere.

[2] In many of his works a vast crowd of figures coverins the entire surface area of the canvas, like in Gente de las azoteas (1992), Se llamaba Charles Atlas (2001) or Pasar desapercibido (2001).
