Denes Holesch (Denes de Holesch) was born in 1910 in Besztercebanya, Hungary. He entered the Academy of Fine Arts as a Hungarian with a Czechoslovakian passport, since Hungary was divided after the Trianon Treaty in 1920. That frustrating feeling made him try his fortune abroad. He became devoted to freedom, while he was homesick constantly and desperately.
During the fifty years he spent outside Hungary, he lived and worked in fifteen countries. After China and the Philippines he went to Bali. The seven years he spent in Australia proved to be significant both in his career and private life. He met the celebrated pianist, Joyce Greer there, and married her. He longed to go to America, the land of freedom. He did not arrive to surrender but to conquer.
He became a member of the American Portrait Painters' Society and received American citizenship. An Australian critic told him once: 'Denes, you are the Stubbs of the 20th century!'. He was more and more appreciated as an artist, but Europe's call was stronger.
Breaking his vow he made back in 1956, he returned to Hungary in 1983. He could not enjoy his homeland for a long time, as a few months later, on 11th May he died. Holesch's first run came to an end. Wherever he went in the world, he claimed to be a Hungarian painter. His death pushed him back to unfamiliarity.
As a result of the devoted work by his family members and Hungarian art lovers, he has become a recognized, popular painter in his homeland Hungary. Although his paintings appear regularly in international auctions, a tremendous proportion of his art heritage was discovered in the world and brought to Hungary for his Centenary Exhibition in 2010.

'Mare and Foal', Equestrian Modernist Oil, Chouinard, LACMA, Metropolitan Museum
By Leon D'Usseau
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower right, 'Dusso' for Leon D'Usseau, Jr. (American, 1918-1991) and painted circa 1965.
A substantial, Modernist oil showing a mare and foal frolicking in a deep chestnut landscape interspersed with foliage and areas of bright color.
Born in Los Angeles, Leon D'Usseau began training under the guidance of his father, who was among the earliest fine-art film directors to work in Hollywood. At the age of twelve, Leon was drawing seriously and, at fifteen, received a working scholarship at Chouinard School of Art where he studied under Merrill Gage and Alexander Archipenko. At this early age, he was also employed by Chouinard to teach a line-drawing class.
Adopting the anglicized brush-name of Dusso, he exhibited widely and with success including at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1937-40), the California Palace Legion of Honor (1941), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1942), the Laguna Festival of Arts, Los Angeles Artists Association (1945), the California Watercolor Society (1946) and the Audubon Association (1945).
