Gianfranco Asveri
Abstract Modernist Art Brut Expressionistic Etching by Gianfranco Asveri
20th Century

$1,245List Price

About the Item

This sophisticated etching on paper was realized by the self-taught outsider artist Gianfranco Asveri (b. 1948), in the latter half of the 20th Century. Rendered in an Art Brut style, the composition offers a cluster of four rectangular planes- like little vignettes- each inscribed with their own scene. Predominantly abstract- but leaving plenty of room for interpretation- these rhombus forms offer miniature worlds within teeming with what appear to be loosely rendered figures, rolling hills and stylized clouds. These figurative elements are created with frenetic and energized strokes- full of verve and dynamism- and largely in black pigment against a warm off white paper. The most clearly articulated figurative element appears in the bottom right rectangular pane of the composition. A person in a dress or frock with elementally drawn, stick- figure like arms extended outwards, whose body is turned sideways (captured in flight as a phantasmagoric figure perhaps). A solid hourglass block of umber pigment and a chalky olive green represent the only chromatic accents, offering a restrained contrast to the monochromatic dominance of the piece. Reminiscent of the work of Lee Lozano, among other canonized artists, Asveri demonstrates an aesthetic all his own, informed by his intuitive artistic style and unique worldview. With its refined palate and dynamic composition, this work would be a winning addition to any style of interior from Mid Century Modern to contemporary. Asveri lives and works in the town of Gasperini in the hills surrounding Piacenza, Italy. He is celebrated for his inimitable aesthetic throughout not only Italy, but the world and is represented in many esteemed private collections. The work comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The work is signed by the artist and numbered 13/99. Italy, 20th Century

"Woman, Boy and Goats", Original Signed Etching by John E. Costigan

By John Costigan

Located in New York, NY

This original, limited edition etching, was realized by the esteemed American artist John E. Costigan, who is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Philips Memorial Gallery in Washington and the Brooklyn Museum, to name only a few of the many institutions that feature his work. This print, with its highly considered composition and its loose style of figuration- deftly balances realism and abstraction- helps to explain his acclaim. This etching features a mother walking with her child and two goats in a forested glen. It is a Classic pastoral scene rendered in Costigan's inimitable style- somewhere between Theodore Rousseau and Thomas Hart Benton. These offer a beautiful glimpse of a bygone American pastoral...
