Pedro Friedeberg (born January 11, 1936) is a Mexican artist and designer known for his surrealist work filled with lines colors and ancient and religious symbols. His best known piece is the “Hand-Chair” a sculpture/chair designed for people to sit on the palm, using the fingers as back and arm rests. Friedeberg began studying as an architect but did not complete his studies as he began to draw designs against the conventional forms of the 1950s and even completely implausible ones such as houses with artichoke roofs. However, his work caught the attention of artist Mathias Goeritz who encouraged him to continue as an artist. Friedeberg became part of a group of surrealist artists in Mexico which included Leonora Carrington and Alice Rahon, who were irreverent, rejecting the social and po

dbo:abstract
  • Pedro Friedeberg (Florencia, Italia, 11 de enero de 1936) es un artista y diseñador mexicano de orígenes italiano, alemán y judío, conocido por su trabajo surrealista lleno de líneas, colores y símbolos religiosos antiguos. Su pieza más conocida es la “Mano-Silla”: una escultura/silla diseñada para sentarse en la palma, usando los dedos como respaldo y descansabrazos. Friedeberg comenzó a estudiar arquitectura pero no terminó sus estudios. Comenzó a producir diseños que iban en contra de las formas convencionales de la década de los cincuenta, algunos tan increíbles como casas con techos en forma de alcachofa. Su trabajo llamó la atención de Mathías Goeritz, quien lo animó a continuar su carrera de artista. Friedeberg se volvió parte de un grupo de artistas surrealistas mexicanos, entre los que se encontraban Leonora Carrington y Alice Rahon, distinguidos por su irreverencia y su rechazo al arte social y político dominante en ese momento. Friedeberg ha conseguido la reputación de excéntrico, y afirma que el arte ha muerto porque no se ha producido nada nuevo.[cita requerida] (es)
