L'Oeuvre Gravée was in working, and Nesto Jacometti was engaged in this new publishing initiative, calling new prestigious names on the Parisian art scene, including Maurice Estève!
Maurice Estève, (Culan, 1904-2001)
The French artist, Estève, particularly impressed by the production of Jean Fouquet, Paolo Uccello and Paul Cézanne, tried to create a new kind of Cubist Fauvism. Indeed Estève began to move away from realism in 1928, and was influenced in the following years by Léger, Matisse and Bonnard. Assistant of Robert Delaunay, he absorbed his stylized figure, realizing compositions with strong colors that gradually became completely abstract, interlocking shapes in bold colors. Has made a number of watercolors and collages, and designed stained glass in 1957 for a church at Berlincourt in the Bernese Jura.Estève's extensive work was not limited to the genre of painting, but also active in collage, textile design and murals. Maurice Estève took part in the Venice Biennale in 1954.
Nesto Jacometti (Locarno, 1898-1973)
Nesto Jacometti is still today a fascinating figure of the Locano and International cultural scene of the last century. Collector and editor of graphic art, he was the promoter of two important editorial projects: the Guilde Internationale de la Gravure and L’Oeuvre Gravée
Born in Locarno at the end of the 19th century, at the age of 30 he left Ticino to move to Paris and immerse himself in the bohemian atmosphere of Montparnasse. The war forces him to return to Switzerland, to Geneva, where he works in the journalistic field and he knows figures as Albert Skira and Pierre Cailler. With the latter one a collaboration born and resulted, in 1949, in a printing guild: an edition of etchings and lithographs destined for a wide circulation of the Paris School. During all his life, Jacometti collaborates and involves artists such as Rufino Tamayo and Jean Lurçat, Antoni Clavé, Zao Wou-Ki, Alfred Manessier, Maurice Estève, Gustave Singier and Zoran Music. He was awarded at the Venice Biennale in 1953, with the Critics' Grand Prix.In 1955 Jacometti engaged in the new publishing initiative, L'Oeuvre Gravée, calling new prestigious names on the Parisian art scene. Many artists owe their initiation to the art of engraving to him: Marino Marini, Massimo Campigli, Zao Wou-Ki, Johnny Friedlaender, Corneille, Max Ernst and Alberto Magnelli.
