Marisol Escobar
Untitled

1973

About the Item

Marisol Escobar, otherwise known simply as Marisol, was a Venezuelan-American sculptor born in Paris, who lived and worked in New York City. She became world-famous in the mid-1960s, but lapsed into relative obscurity within a decade. Escobar’s work explored gender roles and their limitations and exposed the patriarchal governance of the arts in the western world, usually with sculpture. Those works ranged from the suggestive and provocative to the satirical, and even acerbic mimicry. She was professionally associated with Andy Warhol and appeared in two of his films. This 1973 etching suggests issues related to motherhood, relationships, and sexuality. Its swerve away from any linear narrative in favor of a compounded narrative suggests her exposure to surrealism and dadaism and even folk art and cubism.

  • Leaves of Love-Orange Lady lithograph by Alessandro Nastasio
    By Alessandro Nastasio
    Located in Paonia, CO
    Leaves of Love-Orange Lady is an original signed limited edition (XXII/ XXX) lithograph by Alessandro Nastasio showing a full figured orange colored nude holding flowers in each hand standing with her bare feet on the ground. She appears to have wing like orange and green leaves surrounding her. Paper size 18.25 x 11.75 image 13 x 7.75 in very good condition. Alessandro Nastasio was born in Milan in 1934. In 1952 he followed the “free school of the nude” led by Aldo Salvatori. In 1960 he attended the Atelier of Giorgio Upilio where Giacometti, Lam, Fontana, De Chirico worked and where he had the opportunity to study the themes of the inspiring myths. He worked at the MAF foundry with the master Tullio Figini who shared the secrets of the lost wax Renaissance fusion and where he met the masters Crocetti, Manfrini, Manzu , Minguzzi, Fabbri,. He then moved on to Quinto de Stampi at the De Andreis foundry where Marino Marini, Pomodoro, Rudy Wach, Strebelle, Negri and Rosental operated. A regular reader of the great sapienzal texts of antiquity, he trained in particular on the Bible which he illustrated with woodcuts, aquatints, etchings and linocuts, especially the Song of Songs, the book of Ecclesiastes and several pages of the Gospels He also drew his inspiration from the philosophical-religious tradition of the Eastern world through the reading of Rig-Veda, Upanisad and the Matnavi of Rumi. In 1966-67 he obtained the chair at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera and for thirty years he devoted himself to the teaching of Art Education in various schools. Nastasio created works both pictorial and plastic in collaboration with famous architects such as: Figini and Pollini, De Carli, Gardella, Faranda, Selleri, Ponti. His great talent soon came to the attention of various art dealers: first Max G...
