Emilio Greco
Emilio Greco, (born Oct. 11, 1913, Catania, Italy—died April 5, 1995, Rome), Italian sculptor of bronze and marble figurative works, primarily female nudes and portraits. At the age of 13, Greco was apprenticed to a stonemason, and he later studied at the Academy of Art in Palermo. Though he began exhibiting in Rome in 1943, he was not well-established until after World War II. His first solo exhibition was held in 1946, and in 1948 he became a teaching assistant at the Artistic Secondary School in Rome. His subject matter varied little throughout his career. In their refined, elongated forms and assertive balance, his sculpted figures reflect the Mannerist tradition in Italian art (e.g., Bather No. 2, 1956–57). The expressive, luminous surface treatment in some pieces, however, strikes a clear parallel with the work of Giacomo Manzù and Marino Marini. He designed one of the bronze doors of the Cathedral at Orvieto (1961–64) and the monument to Pope John XXIII in Saint Peter’s (1965–67). In 1974 a Greco Garden, dedicated to his works, was opened at the Open Air Museum, Hakone, Japan. In 1991 a group of Greco’s works, donated by the artist to the city of Orvieto, was placed on permanent exposition at the Palazzo Soliano. Source: "Emilio Greco," Encyclopedia Britannica, 2017

- Nude Model - Etching by Sergio Barletta - 1970sBy Sergio BarlettaLocated in Roma, ITHand Signed. Artist's proof. Good conditions except some minor foxing. Sergio Barletta (Bologna, 1934) is an Italian cartoonist and illustrator. Very young he made his debut for the Saturday insert of the Gazzetta del Popolo, and in the same years he collaborated with several magazines as an illustrator. In 1968 he created Mr. Manager's comic strip for Rinascita, but following the magazine's refusal to publish it because he was too politicized, the strip landed in the magazines Ca Balà and Eureka, to which it also contributed self-contained tables. Later he worked as a satirist with Italian and European magazines. For his irreverent and merciless style he was compared to Jules Feiffer...Category
