About the Item
Original color silkscreen, unknown year. Jean-Michel Folon was a Belgian contemporary artist, illustrator, painter and sculptor. During his diverse artistic career, Folon experimented with different techniques like watercolor, etching, silkscreen, illustrations, mosaics and stained glass. He also designed numerous posters – often for humanitarian causes, sculptures made out of wood, clay, plaster, bronze and marble, murals, theater and opera scenery, short films, logotypes, church windows and even a Palio flag. Contrasts are characteristic for his artwork, his lines was simple and his bright palette was intentionally optimistic. His subject matter was often downbeat, criticizing what he believed was relentless urban conformity and the loneliness it caused. “I don’t understand my pictures, and everyone is free to interpret them as they wish. I’ve just tried to depict my dreams, with the hope that others will add their own.” – Folon.

Jean Michel Folon
Jean-Michel Folon was a Belgian artist, illustrator, painter, and sculptor. He was born on 1 March 1934 in Uccle, Brussels, Belgium in 1934. He studied architecture at the Institut Saint-Luc. Jean-Michel Folon became internationally known in the 1960s for his illustrations of works by famous artists such as Franz Kafka and Boris Vian, and for his poster and advertisement designs. Among other things, the Olivetti (typewriter) advertising campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s are marked by his signature and have been included in numerous poster collections. In addition, he sketched a wide variety of newspaper and magazine articles (including Time magazine) with his illustrations accompanying the topics, which were often used as covers. His pictures are often laid out in a light and subtle as well as surrealistic-melancholic watercolour and pen technique.

- Italian Post Modern Pop Art Lithograph Silkscreen Valerio Adami Galerie MaeghtBy Valerio AdamiLocated in Surfside, FLTitled Ledoux, color limited edition lithograph. Hand signed by artist in pencil to right hand corner, 101/150 to left. 19.5" X 14" print view area. This is done in a Postmodernist, Memphis Milano style. Valerio Adami (born 17 March 1935) is an Italian painter. Educated at the Accademia di Brera in Milan, he has since worked in both London and Paris. His art is influenced by Pop Art. Adami was born in Bologna. In 1945, at the age of ten, he began to study painting under the instruction of Felice Carena. He was accepted into the Brera Academy (Accademia di Brera) in 1951, and there studied as a draughtsman until 1954 in the studio of Achille Funi. In 1955 he went to Paris, where he met and was influenced by Roberto Matta and Wifredo Lam. His first solo exhibition came in 1959 in Milan. In his early career, Adami's works were expressionistic, but by the time of his second exhibition in 1964 at Kassel, he had developed a style of painting reminiscent of French cloisonnism, featuring regions of flat color bordered by black lines. Unlike Gauguin, however, Adami's subjects were highly stylized and often presented in fragments. In the 1970s, Adami began to address politics in his art, and incorporated subject matter such as modern European history, literature, philosophy, and mythology. In 1971, he and his brother Giancarlo created the film Vacances dans le désert. In 1974 he illustrated a Helmut Heissenbuttel poem, Occasional Poem No. 27. Ten Lessons on the Reich with ten original lithographs {Galerie Maeght}. In 1975, the philosopher Jacques Derrida devoted a long essay, "+R: Into the Bargain", to Adami's work, using an exhibition of Adami's drawings as a pretext to discuss the function of "the letter and the proper name in painting", with reference to "narration, technical reproduction, ideology, the phoneme, the biographeme, and politics". The Galerie Maeght is a gallery of modern art in Paris, France, and Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The gallery was founded in 1936 in Cannes. The Paris gallery was started in 1946 by Aimé Maeght. The artists exhibited are mainly from France and Spain. Since 1945, the gallery has presented the greatest modern artists such as Matisse, Bonnard, Braque, Miró, and Calder. In 1956, Adrien Maeght opened a new parisian venue. The second generation of “Maeght” artists was born: Bazaine, Andre Derain, Giacometti, Kelly, Raoul Ubac, then Riopelle, Antoni Tapies, Pol Bury and Adami, among others. There were four retrospective exhibits of Adami's work between 1985 and 1998. They were held in Paris, the Centre Julio-Gonzalez de Valence (Spain), Tel Aviv, and Buenos Aires. In 2010, the Boca Raton Museum of Art devoted a special exhibit to Adami's Post Modern paintings and drawings. Derriere le Miroir, the editor was Aimé Maeght. Derrière le Miroir is a French art magazine created in 1946 and published until 1982...Category
