About the Item

Lithograph made on zinc plate on Magnani-Pescia paper 310 gr/m2, paper size 50cm x 70cm, work size 40cmx52cm . Domenico Purificato was born in Fondi on March 14, 1915, and was an Italian painter. After graduating from high school, he devoted himself to painting while simultaneously studying law. He exhibited for the first time in 1936 at the "Cometa" gallery in Rome. He was a multifaceted artist who ranged from painting to cinema to scenography. In fact, from 1940 to 1943 he was editor of the magazine Cinema. He also became its managing director. In 1953 he participated in the first trade union exhibition of the Roman provincial trade union adhering to the National Federation of Artists of Rome, together with well-known artists such as Renato Guttuso, Carlo Levi, Vito Apuleio, Giuseppe Canizzaro, Nino Chillemi, Nino Gasparri, Maria Giarrizzo, Adelina Giuliani, Pietro Cascella, Linda Puccini, Antonio Sanfilippo, Carmelo Savelli, Mario Samonà, Mario Mafai and many others. In the post-war period he was a protagonist of Roman neorealism, immortalizing in his canvases subjects of the people, figures and rural scenes of everyday life. He took part in six editions of the Rome Quadrennial from 1943 to 1965, and in four editions of the Venice Biennial from 1948 to 1954. In the 1940s and 1950s the artist became one of the most acclaimed painters of the social realist movement and as a living painter, as his art surpassed social realism. Among his deepest interests was the visceral relationship between man, his land, nature and the animal world as well as the gap between nature and progress. In 1972 he was appointed director of the Brera Academy in Milan where he remained in office until 1980. He passed away on 6 November 1984 at the age of 69, following a stroke.

Sergeant Infantry Trenches - Lithograph by A. D de Segonzac - Early 20th Century
By André Dunoyer de Segonzac
Located in Roma, IT
Sergeant Infantry Trenches is a Vintage Offset and Lithograph print realized by Dunoyer de Segonzac. The artwork is in good condition on a yellowed paper. Stamp signed and Titled on the lower margin. André Dunoyer de Segonzac (7 July 1884 – 17 September 1974) was a French painter and graphic artist. The gossamer quality of his etchings stood in contrast to the thickly painted surfaces and generally somber color of his oil paintings, which reflected his admiration for Courbet and Cézanne. His subjects include landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. He influenced other artists like Samuel Peploe.

"And his interest in London has not been restricted to the Thames. Seeing the beautiful, where other men might be discouraged by dullness, he has taken his subject, now in the little cheap shop opening a low window upon the street, now in the forgotten church hidden away in a lonely square. And Chelsea Rags, the Shops of Chelsea, the Drury Lane, as well as The Butcher's Dog, are impressions of vague Rembrandtesque interiors where figures, grim or graceful, peer from out deep shadows— shops as lovely in his prints as the halls of a Veronese, or the palaces of a Claude."
