Louis Marcoussis
Invitation from Louis Marcoussis to Countess Pecci Blunt

About the Item

Invitation to Marcoussis's solo exhibit inspired by Alcools by Guillaume Apollinaire at the Pierre Gallery from November 18th to 30th, with the artist's interventions (written in green pastel or with ink in china, and glasses and bottles sketch). It includes an envelope with stamps dated 18 November 1935. Since 1930, Marcoussis focuses mainly on engravings, including the Apollinaire Alcohol-inspired etchings, which will be collected and presented to the public by Galerie Pierre. The same Galerie that, ten years earlier, appointed him as one of the emerging artists of Paris (as you can see in the invitation addressed to Pecci Blunt). Works inspired by Tzara's "Indictureur des chemins de cœur", and Lingréres légères and Éluard's Aurélia will follow. At the end of the thirties Marcoussis collaborated with Spanish surrealist Joan Miró who taught him his techniques. In all his works and throughout his life, he remains faithful to the principles of Cubism, but bringing it his chromatic sensibility (especially after 1920). This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 50 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.

Mid Century Modernist Seated Nude Figure Study
By George Giusti
Located in Soquel, CA
Abstract nude figurative drawing by George Giusti, (Italian 1908-1990). India ink on gesso patterned drawing paper created in 1949. Signed “George Giusti 1949” in the lower right corner. Presented in a distressed giltwood frame with glass and a light pink and grey mat. Image size: 15.75”H x 10”W This extraordinary artist was born in 1908 in Milan, Italy, of a Swiss father and an Italian mother. He studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and did graphic design there before deciding to move to Zürich, Switzerland, where he opened a design studio, which he operated for seven years. While on a visit to the United States in 1938, Giusti was induced to stay by the several excellent commissions that were offered to him, including the opportunity to collaborate with Herbert Matter on the design of the Swiss pavilion at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Giusti is well known in Europe and America for his architecture and sculpture, as well as his graphics. He studied architecture in Milan and worked at it from time to time, producing stunning examples of contemporary design. For more than four decades in America, and before that in Italy and Switzerland, George Giusti’s graphic designs have graced the covers of Time, Fortune, Holiday and other major magazines, as well as most of the publications of the United States Information Agency, and Giusti had a twelve-year design association with Geigy Pharmaceuticals. He has done advertising and graphic designs, illustrations, trademarks, client and employee publications, package designs for major corporations, and drawings. He has succeeded to the extent that his designs are consistently ahead of their time. It is Giusti’s expressed intention to build a bridge between fine art and art for commercial use. He disdains the terms “fine” and “commercial” as defining a distinction which should not exist. Art is art, he believes, whatever its purported use. Exhibitions: George Giusti’s work has been exhibited in America’s large cities and in most of the capitals of the world. His portfolio has been published in Graphis, Switzerland, Idea, Japan, Gebrauschsgraphik, Germany, Pagina Art, Italy, and Communication Art, and The United States. Awards and Affiliations: Over the years, Giusti has garnered more than ten gold and silver medals and eighty other awards and citations. He is a member of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, Alliance Graphique Internationale, International Center for Graphic Art (Typographic Art...
