Military Life - Original Etching by Anselmo Bucci - 1917

1917

About the Item

"Military" is a beautiful print in the etching technique, realized by Anselmo Bucci (1887-1955). In very good conditions. Hand-signed. Image Dimensions: 8.5 x 11.5 cm. Numbered, Edition 23/100. Anselmo Bucci (1887-1955): Italian painter, engraver, and writer, one of the initiators of the artistic movement of the twentieth century in Milan in 1922. The artwork represents the war scenery and preparation of the military through quick and confident strokes. The artist took part in the Salon des Indépendants from 1910 on. He enlisted in the Volunteer Cyclist Battalion in 1915 and he became one of the most famous Italian war artists. He lives the war experience with a lot of the Futurism movement's exponents. In "Pane e Luna", his biography, he wrote: «Siamo fucilieri dell’ottavo plotone, a guardia notturna del Forte Trimellone e del lacustre Fronte. Tra noi buoni compagnoni sono i chiari Futuristi; altri oscuri per un oscuro compito». In the series "Croquis du Front Italien" that includes 50 drypoints, Bucci describes scenes of the Italian front in the First World War. During the war, in his battalion there were Marinetti, Boccioni and Sant'Elia.

  • Tatoo-Shave-Haircut
    By Reginald Marsh
    Located in New York, NY
    Reginald Marsh (1898-1934), Tattoo-Shave-Haircut, etching, 1932. Signed, titled (“Tattoo-Haircut-Shave”), dedicated (“for Arnold Newman”), and annotated (“Fourth State. First of Two Prints”). Reference: Sasowsky 140. On cream wove paper. In very good condition, with small margins (as trimmed, slightly irregularly, by the artist) (slight foxing in margins), remains of prior hinging verso; 9 7/8 x 9 3/4, the sheet 10 15/16 x 10 5/8 inches; archival matting. A very fine rich black impression; we have not seen impressions of comparable quality on the market. Provenance: Estate of Arnold Newman. Arnold Newman (1918-2006) was one of the great 20th Century masters of photography, and a friend of many leading artists; it is appears that Marsh took special care in printing this impression for Newman. Sasowsky calls for 10 states of Tattoo-Shave, based largely on Marsh’s notes. But the states are not clearly delineated (e.g., his States 3 and 4, one proof each, are characterized by Marsh as “Engraving added”; no information is given for State 5). The design for the print was complete in the first state, and subsequent state changes were not, apparently, major. This impression does not appear to differ in etching lines from the final state impression shown in Sasowsky. Its inscription (as a Fourth State, by Marsh), as well as its rich inking and quality, attest to its being a proof before the edition (of about 34 impressions), but the state of this print (and, presumably of many of the other several proof impressions) cannot at this time be stated with confidence. Marsh printed this impression personally (we recall his famous answer to a question about the size of his editions: “Since I do practically all my own printing, I do not limit the edition. The buyer limits the edition – he rarely buys, I rarely print”). Tattoo-Shave-Haircut depicts a scene in the Bowery, a section of New York’s Lower East Side, during the Great Depression. The building and train structures in the top half of the print recall Piranesi’s Carceri...
