Surreal Abstract Mid 20th Century American Modern Woman Artist Work on Paper
Juanita Guccione (1904 - 1999)
Surreal Abstract
18 x 11 3/4 inches
Watercolor and mixed media on paper
Signed lower left
Framed: 23 x 17 inches
Note. We are currently have listed a 1935 oil by Guccione, and in addition to this abstract drawing, we have several other works on paper, along with a major surrealist oil, none of which are currently listed. Inquiries are invited.
BIO
The following is from Djelloul (Del) Marbrook, son of the artist. Of signatures on paintings by his mother, Juanita first signed as Anita Rice, then as Juanita Rice, Juanita Rice Marbrook, Juanita Marbrook, and finally Juanita Guccione after marrying in the 1940s.
Juanita Guccione's life (June 20, 1904-December 18, 1999) spanned all but four years of the 20th Century. Cubist*, realist, surrealist*, automatist* and abstract strains are all to be found in her work, but by 1970 she was painting works in watercolor and acrylic that no longer included the human figure or the observed world. She was the younger sister of the abstract geometric* artist Irene Rice Pereira. The sisters were born in Chelsea, MA, but spent most of their working lives in Manhattan.
In the early 1930s, Guccione, then painting as Nita Rice, lived for four years among the Ouled Nail...

Le Avventure di Cerbiattino - Original Illustrated tale by Sandro Nardini - 1940
By Italo Orsi
Located in Roma, IT
Le Avventure di Cerbiattino ("The Adventures of the Little Fawn") is an original artwork realized by Sandro Nardini in the 1950s. Tempera, china ink, and pencil on paper. Very good conditions.
This artwork includes 24 unbound sheets: 10 numbered and 14 unnumbered sheets. The numeration is written in pencil on the back of each sheet. It is an artist's proof for the illustrated book "The adventures of the Little Fawn" (original Italian title: "Le Avventure di Cerbiattino"). The artworks are lovely for the brilliance and the vividness of the colors: one episode of the story is represented on each sheet.
The first sheet is the cover of the book. The main characters of the story are: the butterfly, the frog, the bird, the wolf, the porcupine, the hare, and the fawn. In the center of the composition, "Le Avventure di Cerbiattino Racconto e disegni di Sandro...
