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.

Scarce lithograph, from the Art Against AIDS Portfolio, signed/numbered 38/50

William Steen Untitled, from the Art Against AIDS Portfolio, 1988 Lithograph on paper with deckled edges Hand signed, numbered 38/50 and dated on lower front with printer's and publisher's blindstamp. 20 1/5 × 15 inches Unframed Hand signed, numbered and dated on lower front with printer's and publisher's blindstamp. This powerful limited edition lithograph by William Steen was published in 1988 as part of the Art Against Aids portfolio, numbered 38/50. Superb provenance as it is was acquired from the original Art Against AIDS Portfolio published in Houston, Texas. This will be the first time the work will be removed from the portfolio. The late 1980s was the height of the AIDS epidemic, and this was one of many efforts by the creative community to raise funds to assist in fighting this deadly scourge that disproportionately affected the artistic community. William Steen 1949-2008 William Steen, artist, collector, curator, and mystic, died of pancreatic cancer on December 20 in New York, where he has lived since 2001. Long time framer at the Menil Collection, the soft-spoken Steen is remembered in Houston where he had his first exhibition of paintings in 1978 at the Roberto Molina Gallery. In 1984 Steen made his first of several trips to India, photographing thousands of Tibetan Buddhist ritual paintings. A champion of outsider art, in 2000 he tangled with the Houston Police over the grafitti mural he comissioned for the walls of the reclaimed Sterling Cleaners...
