Massimo Baistrocchi
Fishbone- Etching by Massimo Baistrocchi - Late 20th Century

Late 20th Century

About the Item

"Fishbone" is a beautiful print in etching technique, realized by Massimo Baistrocchi. Numbered 29/50. Hand signed, on the lower right. This print represents a fishbone, with attention to every detail; this suggests the artist's unbridled interest in the animal world. Massimo Baistrocchi: Baistrocchi, a multi-faceted artist, traveled during his childhood following his ambassador father around the world, and in adulthood, having followed his parent's career. " Baistrocchi's works have a character and meanings that go beyond the local to open up to countless cultural references, which pass from East to West, following not only the paths of the diplomat, but above all those of the passionate and lover of primitive art, of Prehistoric monuments, of very different cultural forms. In the early 1960s Baistrocchi began painting nudes in abstract spaces. Then, the enthralling discovery of etching and hence the meticulous study of the zoomorphic world, so much so that it earned the nickname of animal rights artist. During his stay in Russia, and we are now at the beginning of the Eighties, he returned to painting, but this time in an abstract key. From these experiences, "de animalibus" and "abstracta", the period of "collages" will begin. He prepares his collages following schemes from which emerge both a clear ordering principle and an inclination to the meticulous, factors that lead him to satisfy a personal aesthetic research, aimed tout "simplement" to an immediate satisfaction of the eye.

  • Dorian Gray at Opium Den from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" surreal portrait
    By Jim Dine
    Located in New York, NY
    This surreal etching portrait of Dorian Gray by Jim Dine in blue ink features the literary protagonist dressed in a white suit. His face is obscured by a mass of hair, tangles of which seem to grow from the sleeves, pant legs, and from beneath the jacket. Dine's notes are written on the image: at his feet reading "WHITE BOOTS" and "White Vinyl Suit" alongside the jacket. On the left edge of the image handwritten text reads "DORIAN GRAY AT OPIUM DEN". In Oscar Wilde's novel Dorian Gray keeps opium in an ornate box in his home, and frequents sites of consumption on the East side of London: “There were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new”. An opium den is where Sybil's brother James discovers Dorian. The brother attempts to capture the man he believes is responsible for the death of his sister. Dorian flees to his home, ultimately slashing the portrait that has kept him young for so long. Etching by Jim Dine from one of his most important artist’s books – completely designed and illustrated by Dine. Study for the Rings on Dorian Gray’s Hand from “The Picture of Dorian Gray...
