Alessandro Nastasio was born in Milan in 1934. In 1952, he followed the free school of the nude led by Aldo Salvatori. In 1960, he attended the Atelier of Giorgio Upilio, where Giacometti, Lam, Fontana, De Chirico worked and where he had the opportunity to study the themes of the inspiring myths. He worked at the MAF foundry with the master Tullio Figini who shared the secrets of the lost wax Renaissance fusion and where he met the masters Crocetti, Manfrini, Manzu, Minguzzi, Fabbri. Nastasio then moved on to Quinto de Stampi at the De Andreis foundry where Marino Marini, Pomodoro, Rudy Wach, Strebelle, Negri and Rosental operated. A regular reader of the great Sapienza texts of antiquity, he trained in particular on the Bible, which he illustrated with woodcuts, aquatints, etchings and linocuts, especially the Song of Songs, the book of Ecclesiastes and several pages of the Gospels. He also drew his inspiration from the philosophical-religious tradition of the Eastern world through the reading of Rig-Veda, Upanishad and the Matnavi of Rumi. In 1966–67, he obtained the chair at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera and for 30 years, he devoted himself to the teaching of Art Education in various schools. Nastasio created works both pictorial and plastic in collaboration with famous architects such as Figini and Pollini, De Carli, Gardella, Faranda, Selleri, Ponti. His talent soon came to the attention of various art dealers Max G. Bollag of Zurich and Paul Marmaridis of Athens and later Georges Zeenny of Beirut, who bought his works and included him among the masters of contemporary art. He has exhibited in numerous solo shows in Italy and abroad, including the last ones in 2013, Verdi Meetings and Suggestions (1813–1913), Spazio Oberdan, Milan and Trezzo sull’Adda, Anthology of bronzes and paintings presented by Laura Bosio, Municipality of Pessano con Bornago in 2014 Bronze Portal Porta Fidei, SS. Martyrs Nazaro and Celso, presentation by Renzo Sala. Nastasio lives and works in Milan.

Driskell Collection,' The Art Gallery at the University of Maryland, extensive touring exhibition, 1998-2000. Collections: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution (Anacostia Community Museum). ABOUT THE ARTIST “Wells is more than an artist with a deep concern for his fellow man. He carries many of his themes a step further into an apocalyptic world, a world of revelation and shifting lights. … He works on large blocks in a bold free style. … His work has a vigor, therefore, that is not often used in the medium today.” —Jacob Kainen (painter, critic, and collector) from Richard J. Powell’s 1986 essay Phoenix Ascending: The Art of James Lesesne Wells. James Lesesne Wells was an American painter, printmaker, educator, and pioneering figure of the Harlem Renaissance, whose work established a vital connection between African heritage, modernist form, and African American cultural identity. Known for his innovative use of linoleum and woodblock printing, Wells played a key role in shaping 20th-century African American art and inspired countless students throughout his lengthy career as a teacher at Howard University. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Wells' early exposure to the arts came through church and community, where African American cultural traditions were central. He pursued formal artistic training at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania (earning a B.A. in 1924), followed by studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Barnes Foundation, where he encountered European modernists as well as traditional African sculpture, which profoundly influenced his style. Wells moved to New York in the late 1920s, swiftly immersing himself in the lively artistic and intellectual scene of Harlem. There, he became associated with artists, writers, and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance, contributing to the growth of Black cultural identity. Considered a mentor to many famed artists of the Harlem Renaissance, Wells served as director of a summer art workshop in Harlem where his assistants included Charles Alston, Jacob Lawrence, and Palmer Hayden...
