"Superficie 324" is a 1988 screen print (serigraph) of a 1959 painting by Capogrossi. This is one of his famous "comb" or "fork" works that he perfected in the 1950s and continued to create for the remainder of his life. The blocks of primary red and yellow colors give a bright, joyful feel and contrast to the strong bold black that was Capogrossi's consistent color for the "combs". With no allegorical, psychological, or symbolic meanings, these structural elements could be assembled and connected in countless variations. Intricate and insistent, Capogrossi's signs determined the construction of the pictorial surface. This piece is identified along one side: Giuseppe Capogrossi By SIAE 1988 Silvio Zamorani Editor Via Saccarelli, 9 10144 Torino Italy Tel. (39)(11) 4730554 Progetto Grafico (Graphic Project): Studio Walter Benjamin. Serigrafia (Screen Print): BISI Torino. Capogrossi was born in Rome. After obtaining a degree in law in 1923–1924, he decided to study painting with Felice Carena at Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma. In 1927 Capogrossi embarked on a formative trip to Paris together with fellow artists and acquaintances Fausto Pirandello, Corrado Cagli and Emanuele Cavalli...

Boats at the Eaux-Vives Harbor, Geneva – Mid-Century Swiss Oil Painting Illegible signature This atmospheric oil on canvas depicts a peaceful view of the Eaux-Vives harbor in Geneva, with a group of small sailing boats and pleasure craft resting on the calm waters of Lake Geneva. Painted by an unidentified artist and bearing an indistinct signature, the work captures the quiet character of Geneva's lakeside during the mid-20th century. The composition is particularly appealing for its luminous and harmonious palette. Soft shades of pale blue, grey and cream dominate the lake and sky, while touches of ochre, rust red and orange animate the boats in the foreground. Their elongated reflections shimmer gently across the surface of the water, introducing movement into an otherwise tranquil scene. The artist employs fluid, economical brushwork, simplifying the forms of the boats and surrounding architecture while retaining a strong sense of atmosphere and perspective. The darker vessel and tall mast at the right provide a vertical counterpoint to the predominantly horizontal composition, while the distant shoreline and hills dissolve into soft blue-grey tones. Rather than concentrating on precise nautical detail, the painter focuses on light, reflections and the serene atmosphere of Lake Geneva, giving the work a distinctly Post-Impressionist sensibility. The Eaux-Vives waterfront and its harbor have long been emblematic subjects for Geneva artists, offering changing views of the lake, boats and surrounding landscape. This charming painting belongs to that tradition of Swiss lakeside landscape painting. With its understated palette and timeless subject, the work would integrate beautifully into both traditional and Mid-Century interiors. Indistinctly signed lower right. Oil on canvas.
