MODERN STYLE
The first decades of the 20th century were a period of artistic upheaval, with modern art movements including Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism questioning centuries of traditional views of what art should be. Using abstraction, experimental forms and interdisciplinary techniques, painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers and performance artists all pushed the boundaries of creative expression.
Major exhibitions, like the 1913 Armory Show in New York City — also known as the “International Exhibition of Modern Art,” in which works like the radically angular Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp caused a sensation — challenged the perspective of viewers and critics and heralded the arrival of modern art in the United States. But the movement’s revolutionary spirit took shape in the 19th century.
The Industrial Revolution, which ushered in new technology and cultural conditions across the world, transformed art from something mostly commissioned by the wealthy or the church to work that responded to personal experiences. The Impressionist style emerged in 1860s France with artists like Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas quickly painting works that captured moments of light and urban life. Around the same time in England, the Pre-Raphaelites, like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, borrowed from late medieval and early Renaissance art to imbue their art with symbolism and modern ideas of beauty.
Emerging from this disruption of the artistic status quo, modern art went further in rejecting conventions and embracing innovation. The bold legacy of leading modern artists Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and many others continues to inform visual culture today.

St. Paul, Brasil, Christmas 1958.
Dino Grandi (Mordano, 1895 - Bologna, 1988)
Dino Grandi was an Italian politician and diplomat, who went down in history for the presentation of the homonymous agenda to the Grand Council of Fascism on 25 July 1943 which led to the dismissal of Benito Mussolini. He was foreign minister, minister of Grace and Justice and ambassador to London of the Kingdom of Italy.
In 1943 Dino Grandi moved to Spain and Portugal, where he resided until 1948. The forties were particularly hard: in Portugal he gave repetitions of Latin while his wife worked as a milliner to survive. Luck returned in the 1950s when he had representative positions for Fiat. During the same period he was a regular consultant to the US authorities, in particular to the ambassador in Rome, Clare Boothe Luce...

This is a Business Card by Guido Piovene with Autograph notes in black ink.
Venice, July 15th 1935.
On a cardboard business card (cm 6.2 x 8.5). Excellent condition, perfecly readable, including the original envelope (cm 10.3 x 16.8).

The background:
Four year before this correspondence, in 1931 Piovene published his first short stories in The Merry Widow, printed by the Buratti brothers. It took ten years for Piovene to publish his second work, Letters from a novice. But the Italian writer and journalist will be always remembered for his travel reportages: like "Viaggio in Italia" (1957), the most famous literary guide of the Bel Paese...
