About the Item

(L.A.S.d.s.) Autograph Letter Signed by Alberto Magnelli to the Countess Anna Letitia Pecci-Blunt. Dated: February 5th 1934. In 16°. In Italian. One page only front, including a envelope. The Italian artist, Alberto Magnelli, wrote a letter to the Countess: he and the French artist Marcoussis hoped to see her again in Paris, without hiding their respect and affection. In the same year of this letter, 1934, Magnelli, impressed by the vision of the marble blocks in the carrara quarry, realized his cycle called "Stones", he exhibit at the Pierre Gallery in Paris. Alberto Magnelli (1888-1971) is a famous Italian artist; he can be considered as a precursor of Abstract movement in Europe. He started with futurists but since 1915 starts to create abstract compositions. He elaborated a personal vision of painting, creating a current that he has defined as "Imaginary Realism".

  • Pollonaise No. 24, 1988 by Karl Gerich of Bath - Playing Card Print Sheet
    Located in Meinisberg, CH
    Karl Alexander Gerich (English, 23.4.1956 - 4.1.2016) Pollonaise No. 24, 1988 - Etching - Sheet ca. 27.8 X 42 cm - No plate mark - Varnished ('Glossy Antique French') Finished, coloured, backed and varnished print likely to be a spare sheet (over production), which were never used. Possibly at some later stage, Karl experimented by partially painting the back with divering number of layers of pink. Held up as finished cards the pink would then shine through the varnished card. By holding up the sheet, this effect can be observed in areas with and without the pink backing. Sheets is in good condition and suitable to be framed. Karl was a brilliant playing card maker and certainly one of the most genius artist-craftsmen I had the pleasure to learn about his work and know. He could do it all: Come up with the tale, weave meaning(s) into it, fill it with spirited characters of his liking, draw it, etch it, print it, colour it and handcraft the inks, paper and card into wondersome packs of playing cards, each of them living in their own, most exquisitely crafted boxes. Every pack a magical marvel, filled with the spirit of this genius card maker … All this he did using his Adana printing press, very simple hand tools and great skill. When Karl closed down his studio in St.Peter’s Terrace in Bath, England and moved to Poplar Close, he sold off work for which he felt he no longer wanted to be the custodian. So a number of prints reached the market then. Printed sheets by Karl Gerich...
