About the Item

Eugenio Spreafico (Monza, 1856 – Magreglio, 1919) Donne con bambini - 1889 Tecnica mista su carta Misure: 58x40 cm (80x62 cm inclusa la cornice) Si forma artisticamente all'Accademia di Brera, dove è allievo di Francesco Hayez e Giuseppe Bertini, dai quali viene indirizzato ad un Verismo di stampo romantico. Esordisce a Brera nel 1880, inaugurando una duratura attività espositiva nel segno di una pittura basata sul vero. Le campagne di Monza e i paesaggi del Lago di Como sono spesso i protagonisti delle sue tele. Nella prima fase della sua attività, si dedica anche a ritratti di Romanticismo sentimentale, influenzati dal maestro Hayez. A partire dal 1881, il cosiddetto periodo monzese, Spreafico si accosta al Verismo del concittadino Mosè Bianchi, che rivolge particolare attenzione alla trame della contemporanea Scapigliatura. Viene apprezzato come attento illustratore della natura, con opere ispirate alla campagna lombarda. I soggetti prediletti, in questa fase, sono le lavoratrici e i lavoratori: contadini, lavandaie, operai, bambini intenti nella lettura mentre curano il bestiame, figure rappresentate mentre sono immerse nella natura, in uno stretto rapporto tra la figura e il paesaggio. Dalla metà degli anni ottanta si trasferisce a Magreglio, dove si dedica alla pittura di paesaggio, soprattutto di Monza, della Brianza e dei suoi laghi, oltre all'esecuzione di ritratti su commissione. In questa fase, alterna una pittura realistica, con intenti narrativi e sentimentali a una forte attenzione a temi sociali e al lavoro nei campi, in particolare quello femminile in analogia ad alcune opere dei colleghi Emilio Longoni e Pellizza da Volpedo. Nel suo periodo più tardo, che decorre da inizio 1900 alla morte, cerca un'elaborazione del dipinto in chiave post-scapigliata.

The brain of the monster #1640- Geneviève Seillé, 21st Century, Outsider art
By Geneviève Seillé
Located in Paris, FR
Graphite and coloured pencil on paper Signed and dated on the back Unique work In Geneviève Seillé’s works, the word reigns in master. It fascinates her for its own appearance and becomes an esthetic entity in itself. When she was a child, she experienced an intense pleasure to hear the sound of the nib filled with ink on the paper. Later, she tried to experience this feeling again while creating. Since 1995, she started inventing her own words and was led by her mental fascinations. Lines and colours melt symmetrically and repeatedly. She leaves no place for emptiness. In the mysterious zone of creation, full of improvisations and chaos, she entirely fills the space with all sorts of signs and collages and it all harmonizes in the end. She offers a vision of creatures, invented anatomies and words that fit together and show a new way of seeing, fascinating and dizzying. Geneviève Seillé was born in France in 1951. From 1970 to 1977, she taught in primary and secondary schools in France and England. In 1981, she graduated in Fine Art (BA) at Wolverhampton Polytechnic. From 1979 to 1988, she worked on performances as Le Banquet & Le Jardinier...
