Elio Marchegiani Art

b. 1929

Elio Marchegiani was born in Siracusa, Italy in 1929. He began to paint by himself, but it was the meeting with Mario Nigro, the knowledge and friendship with Gianni Bertini that influenced his decision to leave the province for an artistic adventure in Paris, Milan, Rome, Bologna and in the summer the island of Favignana. In Florence, he was part of "Gruppo 70", with a close friendship with Giuseppe Chiari. The attention to Giacomo Balla, Marcel Duchamp and Lucio Fontana and the links between science and image are the basis of his work. In 1968, he was at the Venice Biennale together with the reconstruction of futurist flowers and other works left unfinished by Balla or with the inscription: "Reconstruct them with the materials of your era." In 2001, the La Scala Theater Museum invited him with his reconstruction of Feu d'artifice by Giacomo Balla, reported at Castello di Rivoli, at MART in Rovereto and at Palazzo Reale in Milan in 2009 for the exhibition "Futurism 1909–2009 - speed + art + action". After research on movement and light, the idea of "technology as poetry" led him to an even more careful analysis of his work with works and settings.

"Haarlem" Aquatint Etching on Paper
By Johnny Friedlaender
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold abstract aquatint by Johnny Friedlaender (Polish-French, 1912-1992). Comprised of two main sections, this piece is full of detail and texture. The upper layer is a reddish tan, whereas the bottom layer is a rich brown. Geometrical shapes are arranged such that they almost form mirror images of each other, but vary enough to create interest and a sense of movement. Signed in the lower right corner. Numbered 56/350 in the lower left corner. Includes original certificate of authenticity. Presented in a new cream mat with foamcore backing. Mat size: 42"H x 32"W Paper size: 33.75"H x 24.5"W Johnny Friedlaender was a leading 20th century artist, whose works have been exhibited in Germany, France, Netherlands, Italy, Japan and the United States. He has been influential upon other notable artists, who were students in his Paris gallery. His preferred medium of aquatint etching is a technically difficult artistic process, of which Friedlaender has been a pioneer. Johnny Gotthard Friedlaender was born in Pless (Silesia) and his early studies were in Breslau under Otto Mueller. In 1936 Friedlaender journeyed to Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Austria, France and Belgium. At the Hague he held a successful exhibition of etchings and watercolours. He fled to Paris in 1937 as a political refugee of the Nazi regime with his young wife, who was an actress. In that year he held an exhibition of his etchings which included the works: L 'Equipe and Matieres et Formes. From 1939 to 1943 he was interned in a series of concentration camps, but survived against poor odds. After freedom in 1944 Friedlaender began a series of twelve etchings entitled Images du Malheur with Sagile as his publisher. In the same year he received a commission to illustrate four books by Freres Tharaud of the French Academy. In 1945 he performed work for several newspapers including Cavalcade and Carrefour. In the year 1947, he produced the work Reves Cosmiques, and in that same year he became a member of the Salon de Mai, which position he held until 1969. In the year 1948 he began a friendship with the painter Nicolas de Stael and held his first exhibition in Copenhagen at Galerie Birch. The following year he showed for the first time in Galerie La Hune in Paris. After living in Paris for 13 years, Friedlaender became a French citizen in 1950. Friedlaender expanded his geographic scope in 1951, and exhibited in Tokyo in a modern art show. In the same year he was a participant in the XI Trienale in Milan, Italy. By 1953 he had produced works for a one-man show at the Museum of Neuchâtel and exhibited at the Galerie Moers in Amsterdam, the II Camino Gallery in Rome, in São Paulo, Brazil and in Paris. He was a participant of the French Italian Art Conference in Turin, Italy that same year. Friedlaender accepted an international art award in 1957, becoming the recipient of the Biennial Kakamura Prize in Tokyo. In 1959 he received a teaching post awarded by UNESCO at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. By 1968, Friedlaender was travelling to Puerto Rico, New York and Washington, D.C. to hold exhibitions. That year he also purchased a home in the Burgundy region of France. 1971 was another year of diverse international travel including shows in Bern, Milan, Paris, Krefeld and again New York. In the latter city he exhibited paintings at the Far Gallery, a venue becoming well known for its patronage of important twentieth century artists. From his atelier in Paris Friedlaender instructed younger artists who themselves went on to become noteworthy, among them Arthur Luiz Piza, Brigitte Coudrain, Rene Carcan...

Calculus - Color Viscosity Etching
By Stanley William Hayter
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist: Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988 ) Title: Calculus Date: 1971 Medium: Etching and soft-ground etching Image Size: 23.5 x 19 inches Sheet size: 30 x 22 inches – BFK Rives paper Signature: signed, dated lower right Publisher: La Tortue Gallery, Santa Monica, CA Printer: Hector Saunier Catalogue Raisonne: B&M 353 Edition: 100 plus 5 artist’s proofs. This one: 57/100 This exceptional color viscosity etching is an excellent example of Stanley William Hayter’s iconic printmaking. He is the founder of Atelier 17, and as such, one of the most influential printmakers of the 20th century. Viscosity printing is a multi-color printmaking technique that incorporates principles of relief printing and intaglio printing. It was pioneered by Stanley William Hayter. This is an absolutely beautiful print; it is an exceptional composition with rich, saturated colors. The print is titled “Calculus”. It was published in 1971, and is B&M 353 in the catalog raisonne. The print has full margins and is in very good condition, never framed. There is a bit of slight rippling on the upper and lower edges, barely visible. Please see photographs. Stanley William Hayter CBE (27 December 1901 – 4 May 1988) was an English painter and printmaker associated in the 1930s with surrealism and from 1940 onward with abstract expressionism. Regarded as one of the most significant printmakers of the 20th century, in 1927 Hayter founded the legendary Atelier 17 studio in Paris. Since his death in 1988, it has been known as Atelier Contrepoint. Among the artists who frequented the atelier were Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Nemesio Antúnez...
