Bruno Caruso Art

1927-2019

Bruno Caruso was born on August 8, 1927, in Palermo. The Italian painter, draftsman, engraver and writer, is known all over Italy and abroad, from France to the United States. His attention was always focused on the ethical and civil aspects of man, from the hottest themes of his native land to the most global ones, such as war, mental hospitals and nature. Interested in the world of publishing, journalism and photography, throughout his life he has collaborated with various Italian newspapers to found intellectual magazines, such as Sicilia in 1953. His active participation in the magazine made it famous since the 1960s. He has known and collaborated with famous artists at the national and international levels, ranging from Leonardo Sciascia to photographer Brassaï, who were his dear friends. He received numerous awards over the years in Italy and abroad. In 2001, Caruso received the gold medal of merit for culture and art from the President of Italy and the following year the Archimedes Prize for the most important Sicilians from around the world. The University of Palermo awarded him an honorary degree in Letters And Philosophy in 1986. He died on November 4, 2018, in Rome.

"Towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century, Anders Zorn became increasingly interested in the history and ancient traditions of his native town Mora and its wider cultural territories which at the time, as a result of industrialisation and urbanisation, were begining to disappear. In 1904, Anders Zorn purchased an ancient farmhouse which he moved to the parish of Gopsmor, situated by the river Dal, North-West of Mora. The simple ritualistic lifestyle of its people, with whom he felt affinity, and Gopsmor's geographical isolation, became for Zorn, a place of refuge for the cosmopolitan artist". - Christie's, London, UK Biography: Anders Leonard Zorn...

The artist Lambrecht Hopfer's printed monogram signature "LH" lower right. The printer/publisher David Funck's (plate) number "182" lower right. This etching is after Albrecht Dürer’s 1511 engraving "The Crucifixion (Christ on the Cross)", ("Dürer-Katalog" - Meder No. 13, page 73). Printed in black from an iron plate. The image depicts Christ on the cross at center, the Virgin at left, two Maries behind her, St. John standing at right, a Roman solider behind him. It is after the eleventh plate of Dürer's sixteen plates from his 1507-1513 "The Engraved Passion" series, ("Dürer-Katalog" - Meder No. 3-18, page 70-74). "The print was originally designed without the number engraved in the lower margin (First state: Lambrecht Hopfer, c. 1530). The Hopfers' descendant David Funck (Nuremberg, 1642–1705) acquired over two hundred of their original iron plates, engraved numbers into them, and re-printed them around 1686-1700. The "182" indicates that "The Crucifixion" was the 182nd print in Funck’s series (Second state: David Funck, c. 1686-1700). About a century later, 92 of these plates were acquired by Carl Wilhelm Silberberg in Frankfurt and printed for the third and final time in the book "Opera Hopferiana", of which "The Crucifixion" was the 90th print (Third state: Carl Wilhelm Silberberg for "Opera Hopferiana", 1802)". - Elizabeth Upper, Cambridge University Library, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK Biography: Lambrecht (Lambert) Hopfer (Active c. 1525-1550) was a German Old Masters printmaker.
