Arturo Martini

Italian, 1889-1947

Arturo Martini was an Italian sculptor and engraver. He studied ceramics in Faenza and sculpture in Treviso. His copious artistic production is characterized by immediate plasticity, halcyon inventiveness and thorough mastery of all technical processes like stone, bronze, terracotta, ceramics, etc. Whilst the artist preferred a primitive style in his earliest works, he then sought a simplification of volumes. With an admirable sense of style, he managed to be inspired by the most diverse Historic, Archaic, Etruscan, Romanesque and Baroque forms without losing originality of inventiveness, nor vitality of form. In his latest works, he abandoned sculpture in order to dedicate himself to painting. He was also an excellent illustrator and ceramist and created works of narrative spirit and decorative value.

By Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni III)

Located in Middletown, NY

Set of 12 woodblock prints in colors on handmade, laid mulberry paper, 6 3/4 x 10 1/4 inches (170 x 258 mm), printed in Ka-ei 4 (1851). Each print with minor handling wear, otherwise in excellent condition with bright and fresh color, and with details printed in silver ink. The images themselves contain several illusive characters indicating the publisher which are obfuscated by figures, as intended. Presented loose, as issued. A fine set. The astrological commentary print has a large and meandering blind stamp with a bird and palm frond motif. This print lists various phrases concerning the Twelve Zodiac Animals as historically counted in Japan, and appears to include erotic commentary on the traits of people born under each of the twelve signs. These Shunga images were issued in books that paralleled (in an erotic fashion...
