Geneviève Claisse Sculptures

French, 1935-2018
Geneviève Claisse was born in Quiévy in 1935. Its pictorial vocation is born from the reading of the magazine «Art d'aujourd'hui», tribune of geometric abstraction. Her work is a rigorous exploration of this path and she will never be tempted to stray from it. “Schoolgirl, I was already abstract,” she said. In 1958, she adhered to the ideas of the current Abstraction Création created by Herbin. In 1960, his contribution to the Salon de Mai shows a work of organization of space rich in colors, where already the play of simple forms and that, subtle, of colors, strike by its vigor and its sensitivity. In 1961 her first exhibition was organized at the Denise René Gallery in Paris, where she has been exhibiting regularly. In the 1965’s, she accentuated the work on color. It was during these years that Geneviève Claisse stood out from the influence of Auguste Herbin and Mondrian. In the mid-1960s, triangle and circle become, treated separately, its formal vocabulary which introduces it into kinetic research applied to surfaces. It then focuses on the purification of its creations, always and inevitably geometric, both in terms of shape and color choice. Reflections and research accompany an overflowing creativity, in parallel with the development of optical art and kinetic art. In 1967, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Chaux-de-Fonds exhibits works from the past ten years, then a great Swiss collector exhibits in Zürich, alongside works by great masters of contemporary art, about thirty paintings of Claisse acquired between 1959 and 1967. Other important exhibitions will show his work over time (Oslo, Alençon, Lille, etc.). In 1989, a retrospective of his work was organized at the Matisse Museum in Cateau-Cambrésis. She died in Dreux on 30 April 2018.

Lampedusa (framed) - large scale photograph of Mediterranean summer beach scene
By Massimo Vitali
Located in San Francisco, CA
Large format photograph of a summer beach scene on the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, from an earlier body of works (2012) by iconic Italian photographer Massimo Vitali, renowned for his grand scale topographical observations of the rites and rituals of modern leisure Lampedusa (2012) 61.25” x 81.7” / 156 cm x 207,5 cm limited edition of 6 + 2AP (signed, titled and dated on certificate of authenticity) last available edition: AP1 original archival photography print with diasec (acrylic glass) face mount in contemporary white lacquered gallery frame Each limited edition original Massimo Vitali photograph is printed in Italy under artist supervision in strictly limited edition (6 + 2AP) , signed/titled/dated upon final inspection and expertly framed at renowned European art framing facility Disclaimer of authenticity: although it is possible to acquire (small size) single page offset prints from the book "A Portfolio of Landscapes and Figures" (published by Steidl) in the secondary market, the artist studio strongly dissuades collectors from purchasing these single page prints outside of the context and authenticity of the complete portfolio. About the artist: Massimo Vitali was born in Como, Italy, in 1944. He studied photography at the London College of Printing, in the 1970s initially working as a photojournalist, but at the beginning of the 80s a growing mistrust in the belief that photography had an absolute capacity to reproduce the subtleties of reality led to a change in his career path. Vitali worked in cinematography for film and television before beginning a fine art practice in 1995. Over the next two decades, he would gain recognition for his highly detailed, epic-scale panoramas — sociopolitical observations of the natural habitat of humankind at leisure. Vitali’s iconic series of beach panoramas, captured from a distance with an elevated large-format camera platform, began in the light of drastic political changes in Italy. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance and Old Flemish masters, in which the central space is fully exploited and the urban or natural landscape becomes the background, Vitali’s photographs grasp the viewer by capturing highly detailed observances of the recreational habitats of modern civilization. Vitali’s work has been collected in six monographs: Beach and Disco, Natural Habitats, Landscapes With Figures, Swimming Pools, Short Stories and Entering A New World. Additionally, his work is represented in the world’s major museums, including the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, the Fond National Art Contemporaine in Paris, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Fondation Cartier in Paris and the Museo Luigi Pecci in Prato. Massimo Vitali lives and works in Lucca (Italy) and in Berlin (Germany). __________________________ SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2025 94/22 Zander Galerie, Cologne 2024 Photolux Festival - Il bel paese?
