1970s

About the Item

At The Harbor is an original colored lithograph realized by Alberto Chiancone during the 1970s. The artwork is hand-signed in pencil by the artist on the lower right. Artist's proof (P.A. write in pencil on lower left). Original title: Al Porto Good conditions. The scene is set in a port, portrays men, probably fishermen, sitting around a wooden table, intent on talking to each other, perhaps exchanging information on their fishing day. Many of the works created by the artist are set in ports, beaches or more generally in seascapes. In fact, Chiancone, born in Porto Santo Stefano, also lived in Naples, a city from which he surely drew inspiration for many of his works. Alberto Chiancone (26 December 1904–1988) was an Italian painter. Born in Porto Santo Stefano in Tuscany he moved to Naples when he was an adolescent. He enrolled at the Regio Istituto d’Arte, working under Lionello Balestrieri. He earned a diploma in Decorative Painting and Graphic Arts in 1923. In the same year, he also won an award at the Mostra Internazionale di Arti Decorative Biennale of Monza. He collaborated with a group of artists calling themselves the Gruppo degli Ostinati (Group of Obstinates); including Balestrieri, Franco Girosi, Giovanni Brancaccio, Eugenio Viti, and Francesco Galante; meeting at the Caffè Tripoli at Piazza del Plebiscito. In 1929 he participates at the first Fascist Union’s Show of Campania and at the International Exposition of Barcelona. He exhibited regularly at the Venice Bienale from 1930 to 1948

  • "Grande Tuilerie d’Ivry" from Les Maitres de l'Affiche
    By Alexandre Charpentier
    Located in Hinsdale, IL
    CHARPENTIER, ALEX (1856 -1909) "Grande Tuilerie d’Ivry" Original lithograph from "Les Maitres de L'Affiche" series Printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris Bearing MDL stamp lower right, issue # 33, 1898. Plate #131 Unframed Size: 11 3/8 x 15 3/4”The "Les Maitres de l'Affiche" series was offered as a subscription series to collectors every month for 60 months, from December 1895 through November 1900. The "Maitres de l'Affiche," were issued as separate numbered sheets, referred to as "plates". They were numbered, with the printers name "Imprimerie Chaix," in the margin at the bottom left hand corner, "PL.1" to "PL.240." In the margin at the bottom right hand corner of each, is a blind embossed stamp from a design of Cheret's. The smaller format and the fact the "Maitres" were a paid subscription series, allowed Imprimerie Chaix to use the latest state of the art printing techniques, not normally used in the large format posters due to cost. A very high quality of paper was used, where as the large format posters were printed on lesser quality newsprint, due to cost and a short expected life span. This explains why the quality of the printing, in the "Maitres de l'Affiche," usually far exceeds that of their larger counterparts. The text reads "Great Tileworks of Ivry, founded in 1854, Ivry-Port near Paris; the largest ceramics factory in the world for building, industry and art productions; Emille Muller stoneware; execution of works by masters of statuary; architectural facings; decorative sculpture; showroom and salesroom, 3 rue Halevy; the only tile able to bear the names Muller and Ivry; (tiles) guaranteed against frost" Given the commission for an extremely text heavy poster, the artist executes a masterful design. The angelic young boy holds the wares of this famous ceramics factory, against an abstract background awash in organic green hues. The handling of the immense text that flows from top to bottom in every available space shows great artistic skill, as the overall beauty of the design is intact. In 1989 the Metropolitan Museum of art acquired a stoneware plaque...
