Senior - francese di nazionalità, nato austro-ungarico ma ricordato principalmente come scrittore spagnolo - fu rappresentato da Jenny Aspenwall Bradley e quindi associato a scrittori come Joyce, Camus, Hemingway, ecc. Senior era solito uscire con la folla esistenzialista a Saint-Germain-des-Pres, era un acuto osservatore, aveva un carattere malinconico, era un formidabile scrittore ed è stato dimenticato solo perché ha troppe nazionalità madri. Una volta è stato anche abbastanza attore per "fare Rosencrantz" sul palco principale di Budapest, direttore di un teatro, sceneggiatore, antiquario che spingeva falsi a von Thyssen a Madrid e un padre forse non sufficientemente apprezzato. Probabilmente avrebbe dovuto essere gettato in pasto ai lupi già nel 1911 e presumibilmente c'era un piano in corso per farlo.

BIOGRAFIA
Andres (Andras) Emerico Laszlo (von Keller) was born in Szinna, Austro-Hungary in 1910 (now Snina Slovakia) and died in Evry, France in 1985. His mother was Baroness Ilona von Keller (d1966), and his father was Maximilian Leibrowitz (d1931). The family later assumed the name, Laszlo. Andres' brother, Adalberto Laszlo, was a successful biochemist (d1972) and Andres' son, Andres Ulf Laszlo was born in Lund, Sweden, in 1955. A well-known author, Andres Laszlo Sr's fiction has also inspired three movies. He is remembered as a Spanish author, although born Austro-Hungarian and nationalized French: a "quadruple EU nationality" that has caused no country to "claim him" as his own: something that has caused his authorship of lately to be unfairly neglected/forgotten.
Born the son of a baroness and the traveling theater impresario that she eloped with, much of Andres' early youth - when not traveling with the theater company - was spent in Budapest where he hung around theaters, eking out his allowance by selling cherries on the ferries that navigated the waters between Buda from Pest. He went to school in Budapest and worked as an art critic, an actor, a stage manager, a stage director and eventually as well as manager of his father's traveling thespian society. He left Hungary for Paris in 1938 where he allegedly attended Ecole Superieure des Beaux-Arts. Not returning to Hungary after the war, France and Spain were to become his new home countries. Before the eruption of the war, he brought his mother, brother and oldest nephew from Hungary to live in Madrid. His later years were spent in Spain and France, making trips to Canada and the US to exhibit his extensive art collections. In 1956 he bought a house in Evry, outside Paris, where he lived for five years with his wife, Ulla, and me (his son: Andres Laszlo Jr.). During the sixties, seventies, and part of the eighties, he spent summers in France and winters in Spain. Laszlo Sr. had a great interest in art and put together two collections: Goya’s engravings and naïve Spanish art. Both collections were exhibited all over the world.
