About the Item

This is the original b/w postcard, representing the official portrait of the Italian senator of the Kingdom of Italy, Giacomo Grosso, with the inscription "Yacopus Grosso -Senator dilectus admiratusquae magister". Monogrammed with the typical double GG and Signed by Giacomo Grosso in black ink on the lower right margin. With autograph notes in pencil "Via Ospedale 55, Torino". Giacomo Grosso (Cambiano,1860 – Turin, 1938) Italian painter, Giacomo Grosso enrolled at the Accademia Albertina in Turin in 1873. Pupil of Andrea Gastaldi he made his debut in 1882 at the 24th Esposizione della Società di Incoraggiamento alle Belle Arti di Torino. In 1884, he participated at the Italian Exhibition with a painting inspired by the Verga's La storia di una capinera. In the French capital, he was acclaimed as a portraitist. Indeed he painted portraits of royalty, Benedict XV, Giovanni Agnelli, Toscanini and Puccini and often indulged in nude subjects of dubious eroticism, so as to be accused of immorality. In 1901 he made his first journey to South America, where he received commissions from Argentina. From 1906 he held the chair of painting at the Accademia Albertina in Turin and in 1929 he was nominated senator of the Kingdom of Italy.

This lavishly illustrated hardback monograph with dust jacket is warmly signed and inscribed on the first front end page by both Alexander Liberman and the author, art historian, Barbara Rose, and it is accompanied by a separate handwritten card, signed by Alexander Liberman and held in the original envelope. (see photos). The book and card was inscribed to Jack Haber, the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine Gentlemen's Quarterly (GQ) from 1969 to 1983. GQ was owned by Conde Nast, and Alexander Liberman, who worked for Conde Nast for 32 years, was the Editorial Director from 1962-1983. Sadly, Jack Haber would die in 1984 at the age of 45 - one of the first casualties of the AIDS crisis, which was devastating to the art and publishing industries.

Hardcover. Bound in publisher's original white cloth with spine and front cover stamped in black. Full color illustrations throughout, including several color foldouts. 392 pages. About Alexander Liberman: Considered a revolutionary Minimalist artist, Alexander Liberman produced works that predated the movement by more than a decade. Liberman, not wanting to limit himself to any one form of expression, worked to produce radically minimalist paintings and sculpture in order to illuminate his beliefs about celestial motion, the movement of the eye, as well as human sexuality. The artist’s fascination with American industrialization and modernization ultimately resulted in his widely known red steel sculptures and geometric paintings, which seem to decompose the turbulence of the time period. Alexander Liberman was born in 1912 in Kiev, Russia. He studied first in London and then in Paris. He took courses in philosophy and mathematics at the Sorbonne and architecture at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Liberman has had numerous solo exhibitions at museums such as the Jewish Museum, New York (1966); Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, NY (1970); and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1970). His sculpture and paintings are included in the museum collections of the Art Institute, Chicago; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; the Tate Gallery, London and many others. Additionally his public sculpture can be seen in over 40 cities around the world including Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, New Haven, New York, Oklahoma City and Philadelphia. Alexander Liberman died in November of 1999 at the age of 87. - Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes & Nass About Barbara Rose: Barbara Ellen Rose (June 11, 1936 – December 25, 2020) was an American art historian, art critic, curator and college professor. Rose's criticism focused on 20th-century American art, particularly minimalism and abstract expressionism, as well as Spanish art. "ABC Art...
