Mario Russo Art

Italian, 1925-2000

Mario Russo, a Neapolitan artist, moved to Rome, Trastevere, in 1950. In these years, he began to exhibit in Italy and abroad. In 1953, he stayed in Paris and in 1960 in London with his own exhibition. Another exhibition in Monaco of Bavaria in 1965, three years later, in 1968, held two exhibitions in New York and accepted the invitation to exhibit his works at the Royalton College in 1970 Vermont. In 1970, he was enchanted from Sardinia and then decided to live there four months every year. His master is conquered by the sense of beauty, which is synonymous with the female body’s pervaded sensuality. In 1977, during a stay in Canada, he obtained new ideas on the man-machine relationship, which was always inherent in his paintings. In 1979, he was invited by the Italian Institute of Culture of Toronto to exhibit his works at Sudbury University. In 1981 in Florence, he was impressed by the Riace Warriors that inspired him to create a new series. In 1985, he devoted himself to his studies and construction of major works inspired by the world of cinema and the Fellinian characters: the director and with him, the atmosphere of his masterpieces enters in his paintings and is flattered by that event. In 1986, he performed a series of designs on the World of Greek and Roman sculpture of the museum in Naples. The following year is present in Washington with an exhibition dedicated to Federico Fellini. In 1989 in Porto Cervo, Russo exhibited a series of paintings dedicated to the beloved Sardinia. In 1991, he performed a series of paintings on the Gulf war and the plight of the Kurds and in the same year the study of a composition consisting of a group of figures in a garden was conducted. This was a positive sign of the evolution of his creative language that wanted to be the realization of a vision of the world of flowers compared with elements of classical art.

Baseball Game: realist large-scale black and white drawing of sports game
Baseball Game: realist large-scale black and white drawing of sports game

Baseball Game: realist large-scale black and white drawing of sports game

By Michele Zalopany

Located in New York, NY

This print depicts a baseball game mid-play. An umpire crouches with his hand up, and the batter stands poised. In the lower right, spectators peer onto the field. The awning of the stadium, silhouetted in black, cuts lines across the top of the composition, rising over a hillside crowded with homes. This finely-drawn lithograph features Zalopany's characteristic mastery of light and shadow, from the delicate texture of the field, to the spectators backlit in shadow. The composition of Baseball Game was taken from a page in an old picture book, depicting a downtown section of Caracas, Venezuela that is home to a number of Art Deco buildings, all built in the 1950's. Found images are a regular inspiration for Zalopany's large-scale realism. This print calls additionally on Zalopany's regular depiction of nature contrasted with the man-made: here, a behemoth stadium rises beside rolling hills, themselves punctuated with more buildings than trees. This contrast is enhanced by the use of textured, delicate handmade paper, which lends warmth to this dramatic black-and-white drawing. Image 37.5 x 28 in. / 95.25 x 71.2 cm. Paper 51 x 36 in. / 131 x 93 cm. Lithograph on Korean kozo paper. Edition 70. Signed by the artist lower right in pencil, numbered lower center in pencil. Born in 1955 in Detroit Michigan, Michele Zalopany is a contemporary American artist best known for her large-scale watercolor and pastel paintings based on photographs found in digital picture collections, old books, and flea markets, etc. Found photographs and film screen shots that had originally served other purposes -- family snapshots, police photos...
