Gianfranco Asveri
Abstract Modernist Art Brut Expressionistic Etching by Gianfranco Asveri
20th Century

About the Item

This sophisticated etching on paper was realized by the self-taught outsider artist Gianfranco Asveri (b. 1948), in the latter half of the 20th Century. Rendered in an Art Brut style, the composition offers a cluster of four rectangular planes- like little vignettes- each inscribed with their own scene. Predominantly abstract- but leaving plenty of room for interpretation- these rhombus forms offer miniature worlds within teeming with what appear to be loosely rendered figures, rolling hills and stylized clouds. These figurative elements are created with frenetic and energized strokes- full of verve and dynamism- and largely in black pigment against a warm off white paper. The most clearly articulated figurative element appears in the bottom right rectangular pane of the composition. A person in a dress or frock with elementally drawn, stick- figure like arms extended outwards, whose body is turned sideways (captured in flight as a phantasmagoric figure perhaps). A solid hourglass block of umber pigment and a chalky olive green represent the only chromatic accents, offering a restrained contrast to the monochromatic dominance of the piece. Reminiscent of the work of Lee Lozano, among other canonized artists, Asveri demonstrates an aesthetic all his own, informed by his intuitive artistic style and unique worldview. With its refined palate and dynamic composition, this work would be a winning addition to any style of interior from Mid Century Modern to contemporary. Asveri lives and works in the town of Gasperini in the hills surrounding Piacenza, Italy. He is celebrated for his inimitable aesthetic throughout not only Italy, but the world and is represented in many esteemed private collections. The work comes presented in a custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. The work is signed by the artist and numbered 13/99. Italy, 20th Century

"Vera" Original Etching and Drypoint Signed Troy Kinney

By Troy Kinney

Located in New York, NY

This beautiful and sophisticated etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features a lone female figure (presumable Vera) with an ombre gradient background standing on a rectilinear black and white floor. She hold the rumpled bunched fabric of a dress (the folded fabric harkening back to Renaissance portraits) as she looks off into the distance. With its sophisticated composition, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior. Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition. Troy Sylvanus Kinney (December 1, 1871 – January 29, 1938) was an American artist, best known for his compelling works portraying dance performers, fanciful subjects, and classically styled nudes. He worked with dancers, including Ruth St. Denis and Anna Pavlova...

Lopokovana and Niginski in "Les Sylphides" Colored Drypoint Signed Troy Kinney

By Troy Kinney

Located in New York, NY

This refined etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features two dancing figures- a woman leaning against the male figure behind her, perhaps moments before being hurled into the air or spun in a graceful twirl. She dons a tutu and ballet slippers that are loosely and abstractly rendered against a white background. The gentleman sports a white shirt and black vest. Both of them have a shock of flaxen hair that offers a beautiful tonal complement to the textured muted jade background. With its refined color palate, clean modernist lines, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior. Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects.
