Luigi Montanarini
Geometries - Screen Print by Luigi Montanarini - 1970s

1970s

About the Item

Image dimensions: 50 x 46 cm. Geometries is a beautiful colored serigraph on cream-colored paper, realized in the 1970's by the Italian artist, Luigi Montanarini (1906-1998) and published by La Nuova Foglio, a publishing house of Macerata, Italy, as the dry-stamp points on the lower right corner of the sheet. Hand-signed and numbered in pencil on the lower margin. From a rare edition of La Nuova Foglio with a circulation of 50 prints. This contemporary and Informal artwork, representing synthetic colorful abstract composition, shows how Montanarini frees the color from the geometric rigor in a bidimensional surface. In excellent conditions, except for some color cracks on the right and left margin and in the dark violet area. This defect does not affect the image An Italian Informal artwork with shining colors could give your house a touch of joy and modernity, to keep jealously! Luigi Montanarini (Florence, 1906 - Rome, 1998) His artistic career started a little by chance when, in 1925, during one of his frequent visits to the Uffizi, he met the painter Maurice Denis and in the same year he made his first stay in France. In 1927 he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and began the artistic and emotional bond with Felice Carena, his teacher of painting. He immediately showed great passion and love for the classics and for the masters of the nineteenth century, from Courbet to Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. After graduating from the academy he makes his second trip to Europe: he visits the Netherlands twice and renews his interest in Rubens, Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Later he visited Zurich and returned to Paris, where he met Gino Severini and attended Alberto Magnelli, Picasso and had fertile intellectual exchanges with Jacques Villon and Alfred Manessier. He adheres to the Roman School (Novecento) together with which he exhibits at the "La Cometa" Gallery in Rome. The following year, at the end of the war, he founded together with Pericle Fazzini, Enrico Prampolini, Joseph Jarema and Virgilio Guzzi, the Art Club based in Via Margutta 54. He met and attended Lionello Venturi, returned to Italy after the exile of Fascist period. The year 1956 marks the beginning of its informal period and in 1965 he became director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and a member of UNESCO, which he held until 1976.

"Western Moment"
Located in North Adams, MA
Renowned painter and printer, Gary Lichtenstein demonstrates true abstract expressionism via his spectacular use of color. His paintings and silkscreen prints, more than 200 oil-based and water-based works to date, exhibit mastery of the properties of light absorption and reflection, specifically with regard to the visual impact of color. Inspired by artists such as Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler, Lichtenstein creates canvases which have frequently been described as ethereal, and he has been praised as one who manages to capture a “sense of no-self…” In fact, the composition of Lichtenstein’s work has been referred to as atmospheric... “evocative of natural forms and phenomena.” In addition, Lichtenstein has collaborated with over one hundred artists during the course of his 49-year career. Despite, and because of, rich historical influences, Gary Lichtenstein’s vision and artistic intellect are uniquely his own and clearly evident throughout the enormous portfolio of work that spans his career. Lichtenstein’s work has been shown and collected by, among others, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT, New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, the San Francisco Art Institute, the San Francisco International Art Expo, the Chicago Art Institute, the Butler Institute of American Art, the College of Art & Architecture at the University of Tennessee, the Silvermine Arts Center, the International Print Center NYC, the Boston World Art Fair, the New York International Exhibit of Contemporary Art, and Art Asia (Hong Kong). Solo exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Hong Kong have been celebrated at the Rubicon Gallery, Susan Todd Gallery, Galerie Enatsu, and the Modernism Gallery. The Fried screen print collection can be found at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Whitney Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. “Not enough has been written about Gary’s personal work as a painter and printmaker. The work, which can be categorized as “Color Field” has been informed by diverse influences, many of them not readily apparent to the casual viewer. One inescapable fact is despite Gary’s roots on the East Coast his artistic outlook has really been tempered by his thirty years in California, and by the Bay area in particular. Working with fabled San Francisco screen printer Robert Fried...
