About the Item

Hand signed lower right: Pisis 41 On left, centered, the initials “V.R.”, indicating the artist’s Studio in Milan, via Rugabella. Filippo De Pisis was an Italian painter-poet who was born Luigi Filippo Tibertelli in Ferrara. He debuted in 1916 as poet, with the collection "Canti della Croara." After he published his "Canti della Croara," De Pisis came into contact with Giorgio De Chirico, Carlo Carrà and Alberto Savinio, who were stationed in Ferrara during the war. The young De Pisis became the local guide for these members of the Parisian avant-garde. This association led to De Pisis's short allegiance with the School of Metaphysical painting. While he had not yet begun to paint, De Pisis hosted informal salons in his Ferrara apartments, where most of De Chirico's Metaphysical paintings were first exhibited. In 1919 De Pisis moved to Rome, where he started to paint. While important editors of his time criticized had De Pisis for producing overly-sentimental poetry, this emotional streak translated well on canvas. De Pisis is best-known for his cityscapes, metaphysically-inspired maritime scenes, and still lifes, especially those depicting flowers. His work has a particularly airy, in-the-moment quality, and is laden with a sort of pathetic pleasure-pain. De Pisis also executed a large body of lesser-known work, comprised of homoerotic sketches of the male nude. Definitive meeting with the painting happens in 1923 during the period that pass to Assisi, and you dedication more and more assiduously during the years roman until the 1926 year in which it decides to move itself to Paris where it remains until the explosion of the Second World war in 1939. During the years Parisians its painting is freed and acquired, through a spazialità from the metaphysical derivations, the novellistic lirismo that is found again also in the written ones, made of visual impressions pined nearly in stenografico way. To Paris de Pisis it is fascinated from the paintings of the Impressionisti and the Fauves that assimilates then and rielabora obtaining therefore of the extremely personal compositions, animated from one poetry vein melancholic. De Pisis spent his life in Rome, Paris and Venice. He lived a very extravagant lifestyle; he had a pet parrot named Coco, and in Venice he was one of a handful of residents at the time who used a gondola. He had two personal gondoliers on 24-hour duty, who wore black-and-gold livery. De Pisis's work was shown twice in the Venice Biennale: once during his life, and once posthumously. De Pisis's work for the Collezione Verzocchi in 1949-1950 is now housed in the Pinacoteca Civica of Forlì. A large portion of his work is also housed in the Museo Filippo de Pisis in Ferrara. He died in Milan after a long illness, in 1956. This artwork is shipped from Italy.

  • "Fruit" Georgina Klitgaard, Apples and Pears Still Life, Woodstock Female Artist
    By Georgina Klitgaard
    Located in New York, NY
    Georgina Klitgaard Apples and Pears Still Life Signed lower right Oil on canvas 8 x 10 inches Georgina Klitgaard’s art has sometimes gotten lost in the critical propensity to assign artists to membership in one school or another. Unfortunately for her posthumous reputation, Klitgaard defied easy characterization. She was a U.S. modernist, working in both oil and watercolors, but never abandoned figurative painting. She made her reputation in landscape but also excelled in portraits, flower studies, and even cityscapes. Yet despite Klitgaard’s ambiguous status in art history, her paintings continue to fascinate viewers attracted to the unsteady ground between twentieth-century realism and expressionism. Georgina Klitgaard (née Berrian) was born in Spuyten Duyvil, New York (now part of the Bronx); the Berrians had lived in the area since at least the U.S. Revolution. After graduating from Barnard College, she studied art at the National Academy of Design. In 1919 she married Kay Klitgaard, a Danish artist and writer. The next year, her life took a decisive turn when the couple visited friends in Woodstock, NY—about 120 miles north of New York City--and fell in love with the area. In 1906, L. Birge Harrison helped found the Art Students League Summer School in Woodstock and the area became a magnet for landscape painters. The Klitgaards bought a house in 1922 on a steep ledge at the end of Cricket Ridge, high above Bearsville, which provided panoramic vistas overlooking the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson Valley. Klitgaard joined the artists’ colony in the area, which at the time included artists Ernest Fiene and Katherine Schmidt. Klitgaard exhibited widely and her career slowly developed momentum. She was a regular contributor at Whitney Museum shows from 1927 to 1944. In 1929, she exhibited a painting entitled “Carousel” in the Whitney Studio Club’s famous exhibition “Circus in Paint.” Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney acquired five paintings by Klitgaard in the early 1930s and served as a significant patron for the artist. Klitgaard s New York dealer, Frank Rehn...
