About the Item

Limited edition of 10. Printed on Hahnemuhle German Etching 310g Archival Paper. Dated and signed with the certificate of authenticity. This photograph portraying American movie director Alfred Hitchcock was created by Enzo Ragazzini in the early 60s, making him a pioneer of Por-Art and a precursor of the photographic creations done through color separation and solarization, like Andy Warhol’s Marylin Monroe. Experimenting in the dark room since 1958, Ragazzini used mechanical devices of his own invention (the “rotating plane” for the circular patterns and the “rotating drum” for horizontal ones) to create images of a unique vibrancy. Made around 1960, Ragazzini digitized the image in recent years and brought it back to us printed on a magnificent Hahnemuhler archival paper. Enzo Ragazzini (Italian, b. 1934) is one of the most complex figures among the world photographers of our time, bridging the creative languages of optical photography and photographic reportage. His photography career started in the darkroom, working for famous architects like Pier Luigi Nervi and Gae Aulenti. In 1958, he started experimenting with new techniques and creating works, making him a pioneer of optical art. In 1965, his first exhibition, at the Einaudi Bookstore in Rome, was devoted to optical art and graphic research and organized in conjunction with the exhibition The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With his first separation of color tones, exhibited at the Milan Triennial in 1963, Ragazzini anticipates Andy Warhol's Marylin Monroe and parallels the Pop-art experience; Alan Aldridge will commission him three photographs for the Beatles Illustrated Lyrics, a book published by Aldridge in 1969. After moving to London, Ragazzini started working in reportage photography, and in 1970, he photographed the last Pop-festival on the Isle of Wight. Among his most important projects is a reportage titled "The Tropics Before the Engine," done for the Italian multinational transport vehicle Iveco. The reportage will become the subject of an exhibition in 1988 at the International Center of Photography curated by Cornell Capa.

Old Pope - Surrealist, Drawing Made With Plastic, Modern Italian Art, Multimedia
By Angelo Canevari
Located in New York, NY
Angelo Canevari’s Vecchio Papa (Old Pope) is a 25 x 20-inch surrealist drawing made with melted polyethylene. It is a sarcastic, ironic, mocking head portrait of an old Pope. The melted white polyethylene used to draw the figure on the black canvas gives it a crystal sculptural quality of surrealistic appearance. This artwork is part of a limited number of pieces the artist created at the end of his life. It has been featured in a book written by renowned writer Andrea Camilleri. Angelo Canevari is an Italian sculptor from a long lineage of artists active in Rome since the 17th century. He has been commissioned several works by the Vatican, including the Bronze Doors of the Cathedral of Belluno and the Vatican Coins.
