Alberto Savinio Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

Italian, 1891-1952

Alberto Savinio was an Italian artist, writer, painter, musician, journalist, essayist, playwright and a set designer. He was born on August 25, 1891, in Athens. He was well-known as the younger brother of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico. His works were more focused on philosophical and psychological features and are inspired by them, as he was also interested in the philosophy of art. According to the art historian Jean Clair, the artworks of Savinio and Giorgio de Chirico were the base of both the surrealist movement and magic realism. He died on May 5, 1952, in Rome.

Reader, oversize drawing of young woman reading, minimal color
By Audrey Anastasi
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This work was intentionally torn and mended. It predates the artist's full immersion, years later into torn and re-pasted collages, using ripped previous drawings and paper-based materials from media. These recently discovered 1984 oversize drawings on archival papers were created working quickly, from a live model. The series shows the last existing observational drawings prior to the artist's switch to working with her non- dominant left hand. As a feminist, Anastasi's main focus is presenting other women. Unlike the often objectified male gaze...

Whispers & Hisses Series: 'In Worship'
Located in New York, NY
This series was inspired by a 1950’s era instruction manual found while clearing out my father’s basement workshop. The How To Light A Model manual employed voluptuous female models to teach lighting techniques to amateur photographers such as my father. Diagrams plot the prescribed direction of the lights. The nude women hold the pose, their lips bright red and their feet dirty from the studio floor. As naked props for the authoritarian photographer, their vulnerability seems palpable. This work visualizes the human condition as a balance between feral and fabricated worlds. Vivid, oversized creatures embody instinctual energy. Wax seals, gold spheres and text-like marks signify rational structures. One speaks in a whisper, the other in a hiss. Winifred McNeill...
