1939

About the Item

Original Edition Linocut on wove paper. Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued, verso. Excellent Condition; never framed or matted. Notes: Extracted from the volume, XXe Siècle, vol. n° 5-6, 1939. Published by Editions XXe Siècle, Paris; Printed by Mourlot, Paris, 1939. GINO SEVERINI (1883-1966), belonged to the Futurist movement from the outset and the many years he lived in France made him an important bridge between Italian and French art. He grew up in Cortona and in 1899 he and his mother moved to Rome, where he started his training at a drawing school known as Gli Incurabili. In 1901 he met Umberto Boccioni, with whom he began to frequent the studio of Giacomo Balla, who introduced him to the Divisionist technique of Georges Seurat, which influenced him for much of his life. Dissatisfied with the Roman art Scene, Severini went to live in Paris in autumn 1906. There he met the habitual Montmartre artists such as Maurice Raynal, Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Georges Braque and Max Jacob, and this contact brought his work closer to Cubism. In 1910 he received a letter from Boccioni inviting him to sign the Futurist Manifesto, as a result of which he embarked on a new path in an attempt to explore dynamism and speed. This evolution led to an increasingly less figurative art in which his primary interest was to explore the effects of light as energy. Soon afterwards he signed the Second Futurist Manifesto and took part in the group exhibitions. In 1914 he wrote his own manifesto, Les Analogies plastiques dans le dynamism, which was not published until much later.

Notes: From the volume, XXe Siècle, vol. no. 4, 1938. Published by Editions XXe Siècle, Paris; Printed by Mourlot, Paris, 1938. MAX BILL (1908-1994) was a Swiss architect, artist, painter, typeface designer, industrial designer and graphic designer. Bill is widely considered the single most decisive influence on Swiss graphic design beginning in the 1950s with his theoretical writing and progressive work. His connection to the days of the Modern Movement gave him special authority. As an industrial designer, his work is characterized by a clarity of design and precise proportions. Examples are the elegant clocks and watches designed for Junghans, a long-term client. Among Bill's most notable product designs is the "Ulmer Hocker...
