Victor Arimondi (1942-2001). Portrait, ca. 1975. Period print measures 9 x 12 inches. Artist studio stamp on verso. Victor Arimondi (November 8, 1942 – July 24, 2001) was an Italian American photographer and model who lived and worked in Europe before moving to the United States in the late 1970s. His early fashion photography, his portraits of Grace Jones and other artists, and his male nudes photographed in New York and San Francisco captured the pre-AIDS culture of the 1970s and early 1980s. Arimondi's nudes were collected in several books, including David Leddick's award-winning[1] The Male Nude, (New York: Taschen 1998, 2005 and 2015). The photographer's later work documented homeless individuals in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood and the toll of the AIDS epidemic on the city. His photographs, featured in several posthumous exhibitions, also are in the collections of Sweden's museum of modern art, Moderna Museet, and San Francisco's GLBT Historical Society. Biography Arimondi was born Vittorio Maria Tevitti to his unwed mother, Alessandra Calligaris, in Bologna, Italy on November 8, 1942. His mother struggled financially, which left an impression on her only child. In 1948, she temporarily left him at a children's boarding school and orphanage in Italy to move to Sweden for a job. There she met and married Bruno Arimondi, who adopted her son. The family returned to Naples, Italy in 1952 where Victor graduated from high school.[1] In 1960, Arimondi returned to Sweden to study at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, although he did not graduate. Meanwhile, he worked at several blue collar jobs, including as a mailman, before he gave up on traditional full-time work to pursue what he considered more essential— a life of creative expression. He created costume-like clothing for himself and friends and at age 19 became a fashion model. Even as a teenager, the Italian born photographer who spent his 20s and 30s primarily based in Sweden, noted that he preferred fantasy to the trials of real life.[1] That conflict, and his passion for beauty as well as his sexual energy, were major factors in his life and his work.[2] From 1965 through 1972 Arimondi worked as model in London, Milan, Germany, New York and Stockholm, appearing in catalogs and fashion magazines including Vogue , Harper's Bazaar and Esquire and on the runway in several Valentino fashion shows. In 1972 he decided to try working on the other side of the lens as a photographer to better express his creativity.[2] Arimondi moved to New York in 1979 and continued to build his photography portfolio. Portrait of Bearded Man, New York City, 1979 Two years later, in 1981, he moved to San Francisco where he lived and worked for twenty years until his death of AIDS at age 58 on July 24, 2001. The year he moved to San Francisco, Arimondi opened a photo gallery in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood for a short time. When he struggled financially, he gave up on trying to earn a living through commercial fashion photography and closed the gallery.[3] Arimondi returned to modeling for the financial benefits, though he did so on less of an international scale than in his early years. He continued to create photographic portraits of the denizens of the San Francisco gay and arts cultures, to shoot male nudes and publish his work in magazines, and he began to compose and photograph evocative still lifes using his own photographic images. Many of them touched on the death of dozens of his former photography models from AIDS. Arimondi was in the midst of a new photography project that brought together his background as a fashion photographer and his more recent social documentary work when he died several months after he learned he was HIV-positive.[4] The project featured his former colleague, haute couture cover model Ivy Nicholson,[5] who he found living homeless in San Francisco. Several of the haunting portraits he took of her were later included in a noted group exhibit at SF Camerawork. Art Arimondi's early photography in the 1970s in Stockholm included portraits of the stars of Sweden's fashion, theater and dance worlds. His first two photography exhibits were in Stockholm and met with mixed reviews. But as he matured as a photographer and tapped into his fashion world contacts, Arimondi landed a number of commercial fashion jobs, including shooting for the Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A.'s I.Magnin department store ad that ran in Vogue. Marlboro Man Nude, New York City,1980. He also shot other artists and models for his own portfolio, including Grace Jones, the Norwegian actress, Liv Ullmann, and the American writer, Norman Mailer. Arimondi's aesthetic vision was focused on fantasy and drama, and he prided himself on pushing limits.[6] Although less well-known than his San Francisco contemporary...

Elegant Female Skier Portrait Alpine Scene circa 1930s Barcelona School Artist: Signed J. Barraguer School: Barcelona School Period: circa 1935–1945 Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed lower right Support stamp: Casa Teixidor, Barcelona (verso) Dimensions: 61 × 50 cm (24 × 19.7 in) Frame: Unframed Condition: Good vintage condition consistent with age. Stable paint surface and fresh original colors. No visible restorations under normal inspection. DESCRIPTION Elegant alpine portrait of a female skier painted in Barcelona during the golden age of European winter tourism imagery, likely between the mid-1930s and early 1940s. The composition captures a refined winter sports aesthetic typical of pre-war Alpine visual culture, where skiing symbolized modernity, elegance and leisure rather than competition. The seated figure, dressed in a vivid blue jacket and striking red scarf, appears poised against a dramatic snowy mountain backdrop rendered with confident, atmospheric brushwork. The artist combines portrait sensitivity with poster-like clarity, creating an image that resonates strongly with the visual language of classic Swiss and French ski resort advertising from the same period. The palette is particularly effective: cool tonal snow fields contrast with warm facial modelling and bold accents of red, producing a balanced decorative presence ideal for interiors. The reverse bears a supplier stamp from Casa Teixidor, Barcelona, a well-known early twentieth-century artists’ material provider, supporting the proposed dating of the work. Today the painting reads both as a refined portrait and as an evocative example of early Alpine leisure imagery, making it especially suitable for mountain interiors, ski lodges, modernist homes or collectors interested in European travel culture of the interwar period. ARTIST BIO J. Barraguer was active in Barcelona during the first half of the twentieth century and worked within a pictorial language that bridges easel painting and illustration associated with the emergence of modern leisure culture in Europe. Artists of this generation frequently contributed to portraiture, decorative painting and tourism-related imagery that reflected the growing popularity of winter sports and Alpine travel between the 1920s and 1940s. Works such as this example demonstrate a confident handling of figure painting combined with a strong awareness of contemporary graphic aesthetics typical of the period. Paintings by Barcelona-based artists working in this hybrid decorative-figurative tradition are increasingly appreciated today for their ability to connect portraiture, design and early travel imagery within a single composition. Comparable in atmosphere to the refined Alpine winter imagery developed in Europe during the interwar period by artists associated with the golden age of ski resort poster design and leisure culture painting. The elegant treatment of the female skier and the stylized mountain backdrop resonate with the visual language found in works by artists such as Emil Cardinaux, Alex Walter Diggelmann, and Roger Broders, whose compositions helped define the iconic imagery of Alpine tourism between the 1920s and 1940s. The painting also shares affinities with the modern figurative approach to leisure subjects seen in Jean Gabriel Domergue, particularly in the refined depiction of fashionable female figures associated with elegance and travel culture of the period. Within the Iberian context, the work relates to the broader tradition of Catalan artists working between easel painting and decorative illustration during the early twentieth century, when winter sports imagery became part of the emerging visual identity of modern European tourism. female skier painting alpine skier portrait vintage ski painting...
