Gastone Novelli
Gastone Novelli was born in Vienna on August 1, 1925. He received a classical education in Rome, where he had moved with his family, and became involved in the Italian resistance movement in 1943. He was arrested and then freed the following year. In 1945 he moved to Florence and earned a degree in political science. After the war he started painting and producing graphic works that were greatly influenced by the Neo-Constructivist theories of Max Bill, who he had met while staying in Zurich in 1947. In 1950 he moved to Brazil and devoted himself to the applied arts, teaching, and research into Geometrical Abstraction. In 1951 and 1953 he participated in the São Paulo Bienal. In December 1954 he went back to Rome and met Corrado Cagli and Achille Perilli; the following year he exhibited at the Galleria La Cassapanca and Studio B24. In 1957 he took several trips to Paris and met the Surrealists Jean Arp, André Masson, Man Ray, and Tristan Tzara. He exhibited at Galleria La Salita in Rome and was clearly influenced by Art Informel. The same year, he founded the L’esperienza moderna magazine with Perilli and started collaborating with poets and writers. Novelli was introduced to contemporary trends in American art by Willem de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, and Cy Twombly, who were active in Rome at the time. In 1959 he exhibited in the Galleria l’Ariete in Milan and participated in many groups shows in Italy and abroad. In 1960 he had a solo exhibition at the Galleria La Tartaruga in Rome and took part in the show Crack at the Galleria Il Canale in Venice. The following year he returned to Paris once again, where he met Geroges Bataille, Samuel Beckett, Pierre Klossowski, and Claude Simon, and had a private show at the Galerie du Fleuve. In 1962 his work was shown at the Alan Gallery in New York, and he spent some time travelling in Greece. Two years later a major exhibition of his work was presented at the Kunstverein of Friezeburg; he won the Premio Gollin at the Venice Biennale and founded the Grammatica magazine with Alfredo Giuliani, Giorgio Manganelli, and Perilli. His first political work was produced in 1966, amid a climate of much protest and civil unrest. The following year he moved to Venice and published the comic book I viaggi di Breck. When invited to participate in the Venice Biennale in 1968, he refused to show his work and, as a form of protest, exhibited it face down against the walls. Novelli died in Milan on December 22, 1968. (The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation)

- Untitled, Horse and Wagon Pastel Drawing Shtetl Judaica Scene Polish Jewish LifeBy Simon Natan KarczmarLocated in Surfside, FLSimon Karczmar, Polish (1903 - 1982) Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1903, Simon Karczmar studied art in Paris, where he lived for twenty years. Although he left France for Israel in 1962, most of his work evokes his experiences in Eastern Europe. Immigrated to Israel 1962 and joined Artists' Quarter in Safed. Represented Israel at exhibitions in Mexico, Canada, U.S.A. and Europe. In this series of images known collectively as Shtetl, Karczmar draws inspiration from his childhood memories of the vacations he spent at his grandfather's house in Lithuania. The word shtetl is Yiddish for little town and refers to the villages with significant Jewish populations that could once be found throughout Eastern Europe. The nostalgia of Karczmar's renderings contrasts with the darker views of life for Jews revealed in the photographs by Roman Vishniac and drawings of Ephraim Moshe Lilien...Category
