Lucien Joseph Fontanarosa Art

French, 1912-1975

Lucien Joseph Fontanarosa was born on December 19, 1912, in Paris. He studied at the École Estienne in Paris, a lithographic drawing studio and later at the École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He was highly regarded throughout his entire career by French artists and the French State alike. The SNCF, the French National Rail system, commissioned multiple posters to advertise and celebrate the connected locations on their routes after the Second World War. Savoie created by Fontanarosa showcases an awe-inspiring view of snowy mountaintops of the Alps and was created in this regard. Fontanarosa passed away on April 27, 1975, in Paris.

HIRST Damien (1965 - ) Rhodotorulic Acid. Woodcut in colors. Signed. Provenance : DTR Modern Gallery, New York. About Damien Hirst (Artist) British artist Damien Hirst is widely considered the enfant terrible of contemporary art. He is the most prominent of the so-called Young British Artists, or YBAs, a group, largely composed of Hirst’s classmates at Goldsmiths, in London, that began exhibiting together in warehouses and factories after 1988 and is known for the use of unconventional materials and “shock tactics.” In the 1990s, Hirst said, “I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it.” And indeed, he is notorious for piquing critics and baffling the public with such pieces as his signature glass vitrines containing dead sheep or sharks in formaldehyde, and his diamond-encrusted skull, For the Love of God. Working primarily in sculpture, Hirst takes after French modernist master Marcel Duchamp in his use of ready-made objects and materials, which he combines to ironic effect. He often creates in series, as with The Cure (Violet) and The Cure (Turquoise), both from 2014, which are among several pill paintings...
