Alberto Chiancone for sale on 1stDibs
Alberto Chiancone was an Italian painter. Born in Porto Santo Stefano in Tuscany, he moved to Naples when he was an adolescent. He enrolled at the Regio Istituto d’Arte, working under Lionello Balestrieri. Chiancone earned a diploma in Decorative Painting and Graphic Arts in 1923. In the same year, he also won an award at the Mostra Internazionale di Arti Decorative Biennale of Monza. Chiancone collaborated with a group of artists calling themselves the Gruppo degli Ostinati (Group of Obstinates), including Balestrieri, Franco Girosi, Giovanni Brancaccio, Eugenio Viti, and Francesco Galante, meeting at the Caffè Tripoli at Piazza del Plebiscito. In 1929, he participated at the first Fascist Union’s Show of Campania and the International Exposition of Barcelona. Chiancone exhibited regularly at the Venice Biennale from 1930–48.
Finding the Right figurative-prints-works-on-paper for You
Bring energy and an array of welcome colors and textures into your space by decorating with figurative fine-art prints and works on paper.
Figurative art stands in contrast to abstract art, which is more expressive than representational. The oldest-known work of figurative art is a figurative painting — specifically, a rock painting of an animal made over 40,000 years ago in Borneo. This remnant of a remote past has long faded, but its depiction of a cattle-like creature in elegant ocher markings endures.
Since then, figurative art has evolved significantly as it continues to represent the world, including a breadth of works on paper, including printmaking. This includes woodcuts, which are a type of relief print with perennial popularity among collectors. The artist carves into a block and applies ink to the raised surface, which is then pressed onto paper. There are also planographic prints, which use metal plates, stones or other flat surfaces as their base. The artist will often draw on the surface with grease crayon and then apply ink to those markings. Lithographs are a common version of planographic prints.
Figurative art printmaking was especially popular during the height of the Pop art movement, and this kind of work can be seen in artist Andy Warhol’s extensive use of photographic silkscreen printing. Everyday objects, logos and scenes were given a unique twist, whether in the style of a comic strip or in the use of neon colors.
