About the Item

HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO is an original, hand drawn, stone lithograph by the Italian artist Antonio Recalcati (1938-2022) printed in Paris France c. 1973 using hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper, 100% acid free. HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO presents a pop art style, surreal landscape depicting an ancient Roman monument and empty town square with a lone shadowy figure visible in the upper window; a mysterious still life arrangement is set in the foreground featuring a sandwich on a roll and drinking goblet positioned in the center. HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO is very intriguing and somewhat amusing composition that keeps us guessing. Print size - 20.25 x 28.75 in., unframed, very good condition, vivid colors, pencil signed by Antonio Recalcati, Printer's Proof dedicated "Pour Joseph" In 1973, Paris Recalcati painted a series of pictures titled “The Boheme de Chirico”. It is an unconventional and ironic reading of the great Giorgio de Chirico. The metaphysical monuments in the squares are transformed into physical objects such as a sandwich, macaroni dish, Parma ham, etc. The exhibition at the “Galérie Mathias Fels” in Paris received great success from the critics. The text in the exhibition catalogue is by Alain Jouffroy. President Georges Pompidou, had sent a jeep from Élysée Palace to have some paintings to view. Recalcati took up the theme of "ham" several times, for example in a painting from 1973, "La bohème de Chirico, place d'Italie" or in the work "Jambon de Paris" from 1972. Recalcati often exhibited in the 1970's in Italy, Paris, Caracas, and New York. During this time the 'Ham series' was created. About the artist - Antonio Recalcati (2 May 1938 – 4 December 2022) was an Italian painter and sculptor, born in a working-class family in Bresso, a suburb of Milan. Born in 1938 in Bresso, near Milan, who died on 4 December 2022, Antonio Recalcati was a major artist of the second half of the 20th century. Known first as a painter of the New Figuration in Paris, he was later more closely related to the movement of the Narrative Figuration. Without an artistic background, he was noted in the first half of the 1960s by his "Imprections" (Impronte), paintings made by applying directly to the canvas and in oil his own body or empty clothes (shirts, underpants, body jerseys). This process is then of total originality. It carries an unprecedented expressionist charge, and it becomes enigmatic when combined with abstract shapes or narrative devices (space of the canvas separated into several boxes, such as a page of comics). Exhibited both in Italy; in Paris in the salons and galleries (Gallery Mathias Fels, gallery Claude Levin, Galerie André Schoeller); in Brussels (Fragmy Gallery, Lanzberg Gallery); in New York (Odissey gallery); he participates in historical exhibitions such as: (Paris, 1964); and , During these same years, he befriended poets (Jacques Prévert) and novelists (Dino Buzatti), and he participated – with other artists such as Gilles Aillaud, Eduardo Arroyo, and Jean-Jacques Lebel – in several collective works that had become emblematic of the commitment of a new generation of painters: Grand Tableau anti-fascist (Large Anti-Fascist Table).Reina Sofia in Madrid); (MAM de Paris) A key player in the Parisian pictorial home, he exhibited several times in the 1970s at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris as well as the Centre National d'Art Contemprain and the Centre Pompidou. He will also engage with other art scenes by travelling several times to London and New York, and by increasing the round trip to Italy (where he will devote himself to ceramics in the 1990s). His work, between intimate and political, offers a singular reflection on the relationship to the world of human beings, almost always represented in the form of reflections, shadows or imprints, as present as absent. Antonio Recalcati is represented in numerous museum collections in France and abroad (Centre Pompidou-MNAM; MAM de Paris; CNAP; MAMC Strasbourg; MAMAC de Nice; Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dôle; Musée d’Ixelles; Museo Reina Sofia ...), as well as large private collections (Collection Eric de Rothschilds, Fondation G’Art). ​Artist bio - Kaleidoscope Gallery
