Umberto Brunelleschi
The Sweet Awakening - Lithograph by Umberto Brunelleschi - 1930s

1930s

About the Item

The sweet awakening  is a color lithograph on ivory paper, created by the Italian artist Umberto Brunelleschi (Montemurlo 1879- Paris 1949). Illustration for “Tales and Short Stories” by La Fontaine (Gilbert Jeune, Librairie D'Amateurs 1937-38, Paris);                   Good condition. Umberto Brunelleschi (Montemurlo, 1879 - Paris, 1949) was born in Montemurlo, near Pistoia. As a boy, he decided not to follow his father's professional path and enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, a student of Raffaello Sorbi and Giuseppe Cianfani.But Italy was too small for him right from the start: in 1900, he left for Paris with his friends Ardengo Soffici and Giovanni Costetti, on the pretext of visiting the Universal Exhibition. In reality, Umberto remained in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, where he began a promising career as an illustrator for fashion and satirical magazines, such as Le Rire, Le Frou-frou and L'Assiette au Beurre, signing the covers with the pseudonym of Aroun al Raxid. From 1906 he collaborated with the Giornalino della Domenica, and two years later he was among the contributors to the Corriere dei Piccoli, a newspaper for which he created some successful characters, such as Frugolino and Coccoletta.
