Luciano Spazzali first studied at the Academy of Art in Bologna from 1932 to 1937 under Giorgio Morandi. Spazzali first exhibited his work in 1951 when he was awarded both the Biennale Internazionale d’Arte in Genoa and the National Painting Prize. Over his career, Luciano Spazzali was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards including the Marzotto prize in 1953, the Michetti prize in 1953, 1958 and 1959, and the four year Roman award stipend in 1965.

'Mare and Foal', Equestrian Modernist Oil, Chouinard, LACMA, Metropolitan Museum
By Leon D'Usseau
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower right, 'Dusso' for Leon D'Usseau, Jr. (American, 1918-1991) and painted circa 1965. A substantial, Modernist oil showing a mare and foal frolicking in a deep chestnut landscape interspersed with foliage and areas of bright color. Born in Los Angeles, Leon D'Usseau began training under the guidance of his father, who was among the earliest fine-art film directors to work in Hollywood. At the age of twelve, Leon was drawing seriously and, at fifteen, received a working scholarship at Chouinard School of Art where he studied under Merrill Gage and Alexander Archipenko. At this early age, he was also employed by Chouinard to teach a line-drawing class. Adopting the anglicized brush-name of Dusso, he exhibited widely and with success including at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1937-40), the California Palace Legion of Honor (1941), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1942), the Laguna Festival of Arts, Los Angeles Artists Association (1945), the California Watercolor Society (1946) and the Audubon Association (1945).
