About the artist.
Vetere grew up without regular education in modest, rural conditions, which were characterized by rigor, church and tradition. In 1957 he went to Turin and in 1961 to Germany, where he first made a living as a factory worker in Bonn . A serious car accident in 1965 tied him to the hospital bed for months. Vetere used the time for further education and improved his German language. The birth of his daughter Carmen Clea in 1971 triggered a significant inner change that led Vetere to pursue a career as an artist the following year with the support of his wife. In 1973 his first exhibition took place in Troisdorf. In 1975 he founded his own gallery, in which he gave other artists a chance to present their works.
A central theme of his work are simple human figures with rounded heads, reminiscent of children's drawings. The recurring feature is the expressive "button eyes" and a small round mouth, arranged like the vertices of an isosceles triangle standing on top . With this simplified and reduced style he formulates his maxim "the childlike as the cradle of our culture".
Vetere is one of the most renowned European artists of the 20th and 21st centuries with his paintings, sculptures and frescoes after almost 40 years of creative work and a large number of exhibitions in Europe and the USA, as well as successes at Art Basel and Art Cologne. The work of Giovani Vetere is held in corporate and private collections worldwide.

Three Children
By Beniamino Bufano
Located in San Francisco, CA
This artwork titled "Three Chidren" 1970 is an original color lithograph on B.F.K Rives paper by noted Italian/American artist Beniamino Benevenuto Bufano, 1890-1970. It is hand signed and numbered 14/50 in pencil by the artist. Published by First Impressions, San Francisco, printed by Fikrat Al-Khouri at First Impressions Graphic Society. The image size is 8.30 x 6.5 inches, framed size is 19.85 x 17.65 inches. it is beautifully custom framed in a wooden gold frame, with gold color spacer. It is in excellent condition.
About the artist:
Beniamino Benvenuto Bufano was born in San-Fele, Italy on Oct. 14, 1889. At age three Bufano's family brought him to NYC where he spent his childhood and was educated by private tutors. He studied at the ASL in NYC from 1913-15, the pupil of James L. Fraser, Herbert Adams, and Paul Manship. He came to San Francisco in 1915 to work on a sculpture for the PPIE. For awhile he worked in the studio of coppersmith Dirk van Erp. He then traveled extensively for four years in France, Italy, India, and China. After returning to San Francisco in 1921, he remained there the rest of his life except for visits to the Orient and Europe. Always a radical, he lost his teaching position at San Francisco Institute of Art in 1923 because he was too modern for the conservative faculty. He later taught at UC Berkeley and the CCAC (1964-65). Henry Miller wrote of him, "He will outlive our civilization and probably be better known, better understood, both as a man and artist, five thousand years hence." His work, simple in style and monumental in scale, includes smoothly rounded animals in granite and icons sheathed in stainless steel. Only five feet tall, Bufano was a controversial, free spirit until his death in San Francisco on Aug. 16, 1970. Member: SFAA; NSS; American Artists Congress.
