About the Item

Ettore Cosomati (Naples 1871 - Milan 1960) Still life of Marigolds with lemons and pipe Oil on canvas in gilded frame Size: 53 x 45 cm (73 x 64 cm including frame) Epoch: the painting has a customs mark dated 1928, which circumscribes its era between 1912 (the period when he approached oil painting) and 1928 Ettore Cosomati was born in Naples where he lived until the age of ten in a small hamlet and then moved in with his uncle Filippo Cosomati. In 1894 he began his wanderings around Europe. In Paris, where he later returned several times, he mainly frequented the milieu of musicians. In 1895 he moved to Germany where he began his artistic career, at first devoting himself only to drawing. Very frequent, however, were the trips he made during that period through Germany, to Paris and Italy. Between 1897 and 1898 he studied at Bernhard Mannfeld's school where he learned the technique of etching. It was while working at Mannfeld's studio that Cosomati made the acquaintance of William Ritter, an art critic, who became interested in his work and advised him to continue working independently. His first tempera paintings date from 1909, and around 1912 he began to devote himself to oil painting, first using the brush and then the palette knife. Between 1896 and 1914 he was present at the Munich International Exhibition at the Glass Palace, exhibited his works in a number of group shows in Frankfurt and other cities in Germany. In 1904 he participated in the St. Louis World's Fair. In 1923 he had his first solo exhibition in Milan at the rooms of Bottega di poesia. In the same year he participated in the 2nd Roman Biennale, presenting twenty paintings, still lifes and landscapes. He remained in London until 1939 where he produced numerous city views. During the London period, he organized with his son Aldo the English section at the second Monza Biennale (the future Triennale) in 1925; in 1934, he was also invited to participate in the 19th Venice Biennale. In 1940 he was in Italy: in fact, since the previous year he had been unable to return to London due to the outbreak of World War II. In Milan Cosomati remained until his death in 1960, on the eve of the opening of his last exhibition at the Palazzo Reale. The works of Cosomati, whose favorite subjects were mainly landscapes, still lifes and portraits, can be found in numerous Italian and foreign private collections and in a number of European museums, including the Kunsthaus in Zurich, the Galleria d'arte moderna in Milan, and the Gabinetto nazionale delle stampe in Rome.

Untitled Still Life with Reclining Nude recto
By Roger Marcel Limouse
Located in Berlin, MD
Roger Marcel Limouse, (Algerian/French 1894 - 1989) Still Life, October 1939, Oil on canvas. Signed upper right and marked Oct 39 on back. Greens, Blues, and Yellow/Browns prevail in this still life of a table with fruits, cake, and a candle. Nude is painted verso on stretched canvas under frame. Frame 24.5 x 28.875 x 1.625, Canvas 21.875 x 23.875 A student of Paul Albert Laurens (1870-1934) at the Académie Julian, his figurative work, very colorful, with powerful and stripped down forms, made him one of the last representatives of Fauvism and the eldest of the group of Painters of Poetic Reality. He belongs to the School of Paris. In 1943, Jacques de Laprade dedicated a book to Roger Limouse in the collection "The Masters of Tomorrow" directed by Francis Carco. He writes, "One of the characteristics of this personality is strength. There is nothing in Limouse that lacks relief. This small and extremely vigorous man seduces by his direct and dru language, by his deep conviction, by the picturesque of his stories, by his very life which testifies to his energy. In 1948, Roger Limouse was appointed professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (Professor at the School of Fine Arts). He held this position until 1964. In 1949, the journalist Gisèle d'Assailly (1904-1969) devoted a book "With the Painters of Poetic Reality" to eight friendly painters, supporters of a colorful and intimate figurative painting of French inspiration, Maurice Brianchon, Christian Caillard...
