Artist Biography:
Luigi Pretin was born in Chioggia, Italy on June 8, 1938. A very young part for Morocco, then he went to Portugal, then to Spain and finally he arrived in France. This nation had a great influence on him. In Paris, they soon ranked him among the "research painters".
In the Parisian environment he is therefore acquainted with many artists, including the masters De Chirico and Salvador Dali. And it is precisely Dalì who has great persuasive power over him; so much so that for a certain period embraces the "Surrealism" that then abandons to elaborate an original painting in which the dream and the reality is merged by merging the oneiric element and the matter. In December 2007, in Paris, Luigi Pretin ranks 3rd in the "First International Eiffel Trophy".
After the Parisian experience, he returned to Italy to settle first in Turin, then in Albissola where he opened a new studio, continuing to maintain contacts with Italian and foreign galleries.

Surrealist landscape with organic shapes

Stamped with the artist’s estate stamp verso (see photo)
Reference: Beni Kosh Collection Estate Stamp #705
Provenance: Estate of the artist
A wonderful example by one of the few African American Surrealist painters.
“An African-American born Charles E. Harris, the name under which he painted until the early 1960s when he took the name of Kosh. His paintings span the period 1949-71, and reflect abstract and surreal figurative subjects which include Cleveland street scenes, jazz clubs, and depictions of Christ.”
Courtesy of Rachel Davis Fine Art
“Beni E. Kosh was born as Charles Elmer Harris, in Cleveland Ohio. He changed his name in the 1960’s, which translates to “Son of Ethiopia”. He rarely exhibited or sold his work and was affiliated with the African-American artists’ “Sho-nuff Art Group” and the Karamu House and studied under Cleveland artist Paul Travis. His style is very diverse and he experimented with Cubism, portraiture and abstractions in series. His paintings span from 1949 – 1971, and reflect abstract and surreal figurative subjects, which include Cleveland street scenes, jazz clubs, and depictions of Christ. He received little recognition during his lifetime and was only “rediscovered” literally days after his death when hundreds of his paintings were rescued by an art dealer.”
