About the Item

This is a masterwork by Salvador Aulestia (Barcelona 1915 - Milano 1994). There are very few paintings such this one as for rarity than for quality. Two women on the beach who, as the title suggests, try to strike up a conversation, but to no avail. The position of the two women, one standing and the other lying down, creates, together with the small red boat in the background, a perfect balance of image. It embraces the "figurative post-cubism" style. In fact Salvador Aulestia was artistically grown during the maximum succes of cubism and met Picasso on several occasions and exchanged opinions that, although sometimes divergent, were always constructive. During his artistic career, he repeatedly crossed over with the Cubist style, often interlacing it with his own ism, Apotism, whose manifesto was promulgated in the 1960s. On the back ther are several inscriptions made by the artist himself and the symbols that Salvador Aulestia used to identify works of a certain period to avoid counterfeits. The artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Salvador Aulestia's archive in Milan, the only one authorised by the artist himself by notarial deed to authenticate his works. It will be shipped in crate with export documents. This artwork belongs to the Apotism, the particular pictorical style that was presented with the "Manifesto Apotista" by the author himself on May 15, 1965. Apotism is a name derived from Apotelesmatics (Apotelesmatics is in the plane of Telesma , which here means gnosis, transcendent knowledge). Apotism as an art concept is not a propaedeutic to painting, sculpture, architecture or poetry, rather a Cosmosemiological notion: Cosmos mathematical order, Semiology symbolic order; in practice: astronomical law combined with that of symbol. Apotism represents the shortest distance between idea and expression; it is an eternal art by essence or the eternal essence of art and has for its axiom the following theoretical message: "Marguerite contemplates the sea, the sun and an old man who contemplates the sea and the sun; but the sea, the sun and the old man, without Marguerite have no reality." Nietzsche in "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" has the latter utter, while contemplating the rising sun, "How great you are, but were it not for me watching you, you would be nothing." Marguerite is the "contemplator," a magical element that legalizes the sea, the sun and the old man. "The feminine," says Nietzsche, "is the counterpart of the utopian aspect of reality; that is, what nevertheless remains of magic. In Apotheosis, Marguerite represents precisely this kind of femininity. The axiom "Marguerite contemplates the sea" is the Cubic Stone of Apotism.
