About the Item

Substantial and period Abstract expressionist pair of India ink drawings by San Francisco artist Louis E. Nadalini (American, 1927-1995). Signed "L. Nadalini" lower right and titled "untitled #40" lower left in pencil. Signed "L. Nadalini" lower right and titled "untitled #42" lower left in pencil. Unframed. Acid free mat. Image size, 12"H x 10"W, Full sheet, 20"H x 18"W. (We show #40 (7) in both attitudes based on the artists dual positioning, with a final decision for a horizontal. We believe his primary orientation was vertical like the #42.) A painter born in San Francisco, Louis Nadalini attended the Art Students League where he studied with George Grosz, and he also studied with Martin Baer in San Francisco from 1955-1957. In the late 1960's, he developed a form of painted relief, which was painting hard-edge forms of vertical louvres arranged so that different compositions were seen when observed from the right or the left side of the picture.

This was one verdict with teeth in it firmly implanted in the defendant and his chief witness. A U.S. District Court jury this week put a $20,000 bite on Steven Tilghman, master of the oil tanker Santa Paula, because his pooch Porky, a male Welsh Corgi, had sunk some of his 42 teeth into a crew member. The victim, Louis E. Nadalini, 52, testified that Porky bit him on the right hand in 1976 as the ship neared San Francisco. He sued, complaining that the bite interfered with his artistic abilities as a painter. At one point, skipper Tilghman paraded the stubby, short-legged Corgi before the jury, in the manner of an owner aiming at "best-of-show." The jury of three men and three women, which was asked to award $80,000. decided on the lesser amount Wearing smiles, Nadalini and Tilghman left the courtroom. Porky maintained a dogged silence.
