About the Item

Pierre Jacquemon (French-American, 1936-2002) Untitled, c. late 20th century Mixed media with ink, pencil, wash, and metal leaf on paper Sight: 16 1/4 x 12 1/4 in. Framed: 17 1/3 x 13 1/3 x 1 in. Signed lower left Pierre Jacquemon (1936 – 2001) was a French-American contemporary artist, and a key 20th-century representative of the Lyon school of painting. Jacquemon was a native of Lyon, born on 6 August 1936. At 16 he began to study medicine and contracted severe polio disease. He remained heavily disabled for the rest of his life. Despite this he developed into one of the Lyon city's foremost artists and one of the few with an international career. Non-figurative painter since 1955, in France he participated in milestone exhibitions such as Antagonisms, Congress for the Freedom of Culture (Antagonismes, Congrès pour la Liberté de la Culture) at the Palais du Louvre - Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (1960). He lived in London (where he may have lived as a tramp) from 1959 to 1961 and became a New York resident in 1963. In New York, he settled in the Lower East Side and had his first solo exhibition at the then well-known Paul Bianchini Gallery in 1963. He exhibited at other New York City galleries throughout the 1960s and 1970s, including Phoenix Gallery, one of the 10th Street galleries in Manhattan. His works are displayed in several public collections throughout the world, including in the US, the UK (as per the official data base for UK public collections), Japan and France (including at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Musée des Beaux Arts de Lyon). His largely abstract (although kind of primitive symbols are often used) and atmospheric works have a mysterious feel: "Absent any movement, any defined form, Jacquemon's paintings are essentially meditative". His work can be affiliated to the Lyrical Abstraction group but also to the Art Brut movement. He always followed a very personal, poetic and humble path certainly influenced by the Beat Generation and American New Age atmosphere, as described in Irving Stettner's Stroker: "After all it only takes a moment or two to look at a painting by Pierre Jacquemon: yet in a split-second, or wink of an eye we jump our skins, end up transfixed: immediately we are plunged into a world of timeless space, able to witness planets colliding, the hot red ball at the center of the earth, the flery tails of shooting comets, resplendent meteor showers."

Original Lazzaro Donati Painting of an Abstracted Woman

By Lazzaro Donati

Located in New York, NY

Lazzaro Donati (Italian, 1926-1977) Untitled (Abstract Woman), Mid-20th Century Oil on board 20 x 16 in. Framed: 25 3/4 x 21 7/8 in. Signed lower right Lazzaro Donati (1926-1977) was born in Florence in 1926 and attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He began to paint in 1953, and in 1955 held his first exhibition at the Indiano Gallery in Florence. Within three years eleven exhibitions followed in Italy, and as his reputation grew he was invited to give major exhibitions in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. He is considered one of the foremost contemporary Italian painters and his paintings hang in museums and private collections throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Mr. Donati lived and worked at 24 Piazza Donatello in Florence, the square where generations of artists have created works worthy of the great Florentine tradition. As you entered the narrow hallway to his studio, a gilded life-size Venetian angel beckoned you to his door. Once inside, the present faded away and you found yourself in an atelier where early masters might have worked during the Renaissance. Within, luxurious Persian rugs set off the innumerable objects d'art and antique furnishings. Light poured in through the sloping glass wall on the north side. A dramatic stairway led to an overhanging balcony which served as a private gallery where the artist hung some of his favorite early works. To the left of the entrance was a smaller studio where Donati sculpted, with a window overlooking the famous old English cemetery where tourists laid flowers on the grave of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In the main studio itself, where Donati received his clients in an atmosphere as polished as an office of a top executive, one hardly realized that it was here that the artist actually painted. His easel was covered with Persian blue velvet, the painting on the easel was already framed, his chair was upholstered in red velvet and on his palette the colors were arranged with the precision of a Byzantine mosaic. In a corner stand were his latest works, framed and ready to be sent off to his next exhibition in Europe or America. Donati was a born host with a warm welcome, an elegant man who possessed enormous charm a good nature and a keen sense of humor. Apparently shy, he preferred to speak on subjects extraneous to his art, purposely distracting you from his paintings, then leading you back to them, tactfully and without pretension. He spoke fluent French and English as well as some Spanish and German. "After all", he said, "you've got to know how to sell a painting to everyone." He had no sympathy for the "drip and splash" studios of his contemporaries, preferring to keep his studio tidy and spotless. "Painting is a matter of precision", he said, "If a painter can't put his paint where he wants it to go, I don't see how he can call himself a painter. For me it is absolutely necessary to control the paint." When asked to reveal the technique he used to achieve the enamel-like finish typical of his paintings he answered, "That is a secret between me and my butler. Actually, most of my paintings are done by him!" But in fact behind the façade, Donati was a serious craftsman who devoted to his painting as a way of life and means of expression. From the beginning of his career, his paintings revealed a striving for perfection and continual research in problems of style and technique. His early works indicated a momentary interest in surrealism and abstract art; they were predominantly two dimensional, depending on line and strong color. But by 1958, with his painting The Lady with a Fan...
