Invention of the Human Eye - Original China Ink on Paper by A. Martini - 1935
By Alberto Martini
Located in Roma, IT
Invention of the Human Eye is an original modern artwork realized by Alberto Martini in 1935. Original China ink on paper. Wood frame included (cm 40 x 28.5); passepartout included (cm 37.5 x 26). Hand-signed in China ink on the lower left corner: Alberto Martini; hand-signed on the lower right: Martini A XIII. Mint conditions.

This work was realized by Alberto Martini (Oderzo, 1876 - Milan, 1954). Incredible Italian draftsman, engraver, painter and illustrator, he was a forerunner of the Surrealist movement.

He was a friend of eccentric persons, such as Luisa Amman Casati, a well-known animator of artistic life who became his precious patron of several portraits and who welcomed him to her various residences: the Venetian palace, the castle of Soncino and, between 1928 and 1930, the French residence of Vesinet. Thanks to the Marchesa Casati...
