About the Item

The Cat is an original etching on paper realized by Gian Paolo Berto. Good conditions. Hand-signed and numbered, 33/40. Image Dimensions: 34.5 x 34.5 cm The artwork represents a cat through perfect hatching. The artwork is depicted skillfully through confident strokes. with a beautiful full moon above the head of cat which makes it unique. Gian Paolo Berto born and raised in the limited but fervent artistic environment of Adria after the war where, apart from the isolated and not yet rediscovered genius of the Anglo-Saxon Foster, a new cultural climate was forming alongside the figures of Scarpari, Reali, Rizzi, Palmieri , Gioli. Then in Rovigo, he is studying with Prudenziato and Breseghello and in friendship with Gabbris Ferrari. The meeting with the masters Zancanaro and Levi is dazzling and constitutes the springboard of this eclectic artist in the world of contemporary Italian painting. Despite having been among the very few admitted to De Chirico's studio (but also by Guttuso and Picasso), and has exhibited in prestigious galleries and museums, Berto has always exempted himself from appearing in the windows of the great art market, preferring contact, in an anti-elitist key, with the most genuine audiences: students, simple people, artists and intellectuals who conduct their research with rigor and autonomy from fashions and trends. This does not mean that his painting is detached from the context of contemporary art. Indeed, the painter's characteristic appropriation of the reality that surrounds him and the evolving forms of painting in Berto is explicit and, as often happens in art, prophecy. The debt contracted by American Pop towards the European one is known: a front that at the time found an attentive and operative Berto and then, in the following decades, ready to grasp the flourishing of the successive frontiers of art.(Artist's website).

Leonor Fini - Cat - Original Etching
By Leonor Fini
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
Leonor Fini - Cats - Original Engraving Mme.Helvetius' Cats Original etching created in 1985, Printed Signature (LF). Conditions: excellent Edition: 100 Support: Arches paper. Dimensions: Paper dimensions: 44 x 28 cm Editions: Moret, Paris. Leonor Fini is considered one of the most important women artists of the mid-twentieth century, along with Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim, Remedios Varo, and Dorothea Tanning – most of whom Fini knew well. Her career, which spanned some six decades, included painting, graphic design, book illustration, product design (the renowned torso-shaped perfume bottle for Schiaparelli’s Shocking), and set and costume design for theatre, ballet, opera, and film. In this compellingly readable, exhaustively researched account, author Peter Webb brings Fini’s provocative art and unconventional personal life, as well as the vibrant avant-garde world in which she revolved, vividly in life. Born in Buenos Aires in 1907 (August 30 – January 18, 1996, Paris) to Italian and Argentine parents, Leonor grew up in Trieste, Italy, raised by her strong-willed, independent mother, Malvina. She was a virtually self-taught artist, learing anatomy directly from studying cadavers in the local morgue and absorbing composition and technique from the Old Masters through books and visits to museums. Fini’s fledging attempts at painting in Trieste let her to Milan, where she participated in her first group exhibition in 1929, and then to Paris in 1931. Her vivacious personality and flamboyant attire instantly garnered her a spotlight in the Parisian art world and she soon developed close relationships with the leading surrealist writers and painters, including Paul Eluard, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, and Max Ernst, who became her lover for a time. The only surrealist she could not abide because of his misogyny was André Breton. Although she repeatedly exhibited with them, she never considered herself a surrealist. The American dealer Julien Levy, very much impressed by Fini’s painting and smitten by her eccentric charms, invited her to New York in 1936, where she took part in a joint gallery exhibition with Max Ernst and met many American surrealists, including Joseph Cornell and Pavel Tchelitchew. Her work was included in MoMA’s pivotal Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism exhibition, along with De Chirico, Dali, Ernst, and Yves Tanguy. In 1939 in Paris she curated an exhibition of surrealist furniture...
