Gian Luciano Sormani
‘Canal Grande in Venice’

About the Item

Gian Luciano Sormani (1867-1938) ‘Canal Grande in Venice’ Watercolor on paper Gilt frame and invisible glass. Size: 31x45 cm ( 57x70 cm including frame) Period: Early 20th century Gian Luciano Sormani was born in Legnago (Verona) in 1867 and died in 1938. He first completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, a student of Pompeo Molmenti, then was active mainly in Venice. He was a teacher at the Naples Institute of Art and director of the Urbino Academy. Gian Luciano Sormani's work must be placed in the context of a social realism in which emotionalism and a mannered patheticism penetrate. In 1908 he began exhibiting at Ca' Pesaro and was there for several years.

  • Three Pyramids + Blue Ball
    By Alexander Calder
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    "Three Pyramids + Blue Ball" is a gouache on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right, "Calder 73”. Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity.
