Specialist note

Born in Yugoslavia as Miodrag Duric, Dado spent much of his career living in Paris. Dado's paintings are complex and deeply psychological. Dado draws his influences from his experiences during WWII , European Surrealism of the 1940's and his travels to Central Africa in 1974 where he lived in the Central African rainforest. While best known as a painter, Dado was also an active drawer, sculptor and engraver.
