THE FORCES OF THE CURVE
1930, mixed media (pencil, tempera, and oil) on paper mounted on cardboard - 36 x 70.5 cm
Signed and dated lower left: "Crali 30"; lower right: stamp of the Crali studio
at Via Carlo del Prete 57/33 in Turin.
By the late 1920s (from 1929), Crali's production had become decidedly oriented largely
toward projects and paintings on the theme of flight, precisely because the manifesto of Futurist Aeropainting
had been published. And so the young Crali, who was nineteen in 1929, began making drawings and
paintings of biplanes acrobatically flying over cities. However, the artist had certainly not forgotten the
"terrestrial speed," of speeding cars. Such is the case with this dynamic final study for one of his most interesting
paintings of the decade, created in 1930, which aims to show the contrasting forces of
a car speeding around a curve: the centrifugal force that pushes it outward, and the
centripetal force that the direction of the wheels instead wants to push inward. This is undoubtedly one
of the most successful examples of simultaneity and dynamism in the work of the young Crali, to whose study he dedicated
various drawings and colored sketches with varying degrees of elaboration (some of which can be seen in "Crali and
Futurism," edited by Marino De Grassi, Edizioni della Laguna, Monfalcone, 2019: p. 75). But this
is absolutely the final one, precisely because it is the only one in which the car is already at the height of speed, and in
chromaticism as it appears in the final painting. Mario Becchis was an abstract artist of the 1950s, and the historic
director of the La Bussola gallery, where he succeeded Luigi Carluccio.

BIO
Sybil Andrews was a printmaker, painter, graphic artist and educator who was born in Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk, England. She moved to London (England) in 1922. In 1947, she emigrated to Campbell River (Vancouver Island) British Columbia, Canada, where she worked, taught and lived for the rest of her life. She died at a hospital in Victoria (B.C.)
Her mediums were the colour linocut (1) (most famous), etching, posters, pastels, ink, watercolour, monoprint and oil. Her subjects were human activity (at work, sports, travel, etc.), figures, animals, genre, allegory, architecture and landscape. Her style was Art Deco (see AskART styles), Futurism, Cubism and Vorticism (2). Her work is identified by a simple format, clean lines, distortion, vivid colours, drama and rhythm.
Quote: "The colour linocut was just the medium for me, being interested in dynamics and ideas and patterns... It is impossible to be fussy with lines, you have to simplify, you are forced to simplify your idea to its fundamentals." Andrews produced 76 linocuts in her life, of which 43 were made from 1929 to 1939, which is considered to be her best period.
John Hassall's art correspondence course (1918) was the beginning of her formal art education. She went from there to Heatherley's School of Fine Art (London/1922) where she studied under Henry Massey (see AskART) and met artistic partner Cyril Power (see AskART). At the same time, she studied independently with sculptor Henri Glicenstein (see AskART) who taught her drypoint etching and to draw from life.
She also attended the Grosvenor School of Modern Art (1925). Iain McNab (1890-1967) was Principal and Claude Flight (3) (see AskART) an instructor who had a great influence on her choice of linocut as a primary medium. Some of his other students and her associates were Edith Lawrence (1890-1973), Lill Tschudi (1911-2001), Eileen Mayo (see AskART) and William Greengrass...
