About the Item

"Mario Avati was both an etcher and a painter born in Monaco in 1921. In 1947, after studying at the National School of Decorative Arts in Nice at the Higher National School of Fine Arts in Paris, Mario Avati practiced all of the etching techniques. Ten years later, he is exclusively working with mezzotint, first in black, than from 1969, in colors. This meticulous and delicate technique gives to artworks a great depth and creates a sort of unreal space from which a pattern emerges. The artist contributed to rekindle this technique as a support for popular expression. Today, with Kyoshi Hasegawa and Yozo Hamaguch, Mario Avati is one of the most singular performer of the mezzotint technique. His work inspired by his classical background focusses mainly on still-life style – fruits, flowers, staged things, music instruments – or animals, all treated with great geometric care. Inspired by Gorgio Morandi's works whom he admires, Mario Avati positioned and organized his etchings just like Morandi's compositions. In addition to the making of hundreds of prints, Mario Avati illustrated many books (Lewis Carroll, Baudelaire, Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Brillat-Savarin, Nostradamus, La Bible, etc). His works are showed in many museums all over the world and in France, in about thirty institutes of which the Chalcographie of the Louvre Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery in Washington, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Gabinetto delle Stampe degli Uffizi in Florence, the Natinal Library in Madrid, the Tokyo Museum, the Museum of Art in Johannesburg but also several major private collections. The artist lived and worked in Paris for many years. He died in 2009." Courtesy Mchampetier

Mario Avati
Mario Avati along with fellow artist Marc Chagall attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He began printmaking in the 1940s and later focused on mezzotint, a technique that would bring Avanti significant international recognition for his discipline. As a fellow at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in the 1960s, he furthered his exploration of mezzotint, with the interplay of intense blackness with gradations of light that define the mezzotint process.

Kleiber 134
Hans Kleiber (1887-1967)
Hans Norbert Kleiber, painter, etcher, illustrator, and naturalist, was born in Cologne, Germany on August 24, 1887. He emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1900, settling in Massachusetts before moving to Wyoming. Kleiber first worked in lumber camps before working for the United States Forest Service from 1906 until 1924. One of his duties as a ranger was to monitor the logging camps in the Bighorn Mountains.
Kleiber was primarily self-taught as an artist and it was in the 1920s that he began devoting himself to art. It appears that he first began to work in watercolor and oil but was producing etchings and drypoints as early as 1924. He traversed the mountains of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, and his subjects are drawn from the pristine landscapes and wildlife.
Kleiber's first exhibition of his etchings was mounted in 1928 at Goodspeed's Book Shop in Boston. His etching, Crossing the Platte, was included in the 1939 New York World's Fair exhibition, American Art Today. There was an exhibition of fifty of his etchings at the National Museum in 1944, and an exhibition of his watercolors was mounted at the Grand Central Galleries in New York in 1950. Kleiber was a member of the Society of American Etchers and the California Society of Printmakers. He received a silver medal in 1931 from the Printmakers Society of California for his print, Leaving the High Country...
