Mario Tozzi Prints and Multiples
Italian, 1895-1979
He was born in Isola di Fano (a hamlet in the municipality of Fossombrone) in the province of Pesaro-Urbino, the first of five children. His father, Giacinto Tommaso, a doctor, settled the family in Suna on the Piedmontese shore of Lake Maggiore. He abandoned his studies in chemistry at the L. Cobianchi Institute in Intra to devote himself to his artistic calling, enrolling in the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 1913, where he met Morandi and Licini. He graduated in 1915. He served in the military during the First World War, in which he lost two brothers.
Discharged in 1919, he married a young Frenchwoman, Marie Therese Lemaire, and settled with her in Paris. There, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Indépendantes, the Salon d'Automne, and the Salon des Tuileries, where he was immediately noticed by critics. In 1926, he reunited with his friend Licini in Paris and met other avant-garde Italian painters.
In particular, he became friends with the painter and poster designer Severo Pozzati.
In the same year, he exhibited at the first Novecento exhibition. He founded the Groupe des Sept (Group of Seven, also known as Les Italiens de Paris) with Campigli, de Chirico, de Pisis, Paresce, Savinio, and Severini. The 1930s were a period of great success for him. He was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government.
1936-1957: Return to Rome and Health Problems
edit
After returning to Rome in 1936, he devoted himself to fresco painting (in 1938 for the interior of the Palace of Justice in Milan). He exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1938 and 1942.
The 1940s and 1950s were a long period of little work for him, but one of deep reflection, which saw him absent from exhibitions due to serious health problems. He did, however, participate in the Venice Biennale in 1948, 1952, and 1954.
He finally resumed exhibiting in 1958 at the Annunciata Gallery in Milan. In 1960, he settled in the family home in Suna. His paintings with "white backgrounds" and his color lithographs depicting female heads are well-known from this period.
In 1971, he returned to France to be close to his daughter and grandchildren. He died there in 1979.
In 1988, Giorgio Mondadori Editore published the General Catalogue Raisonné of Mario Tozzi's Paintings, a two-volume work edited by Marilena Pasquali in close collaboration with her daughter Francesca Tozzi and the Studio Tozzi in Foiano della Chiana (Arezzo) represented by Professor Tiezzi. In 2012, the Mario Tozzi Artistic and Cultural Association was established.
In 2021, the Ministry of Culture declared the Mario Tozzi Archives of Particularly Important Historical Interest, protecting them as cultural heritage.to

Leonor Fini is considered one of the most important women artists of the mid-twentieth century, along with Leonora Carrington, Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim, Remedios Varo, and Dorothea Tanning – most of whom Fini knew well. Her career, which spanned some six decades, included painting, graphic design, book illustration, product design (the renowned torso-shaped perfume bottle for Schiaparelli’s Shocking), and set and costume design for theatre, ballet, opera, and film. In this compellingly readable, exhaustively researched account, author Peter Webb brings Fini’s provocative art and unconventional personal life, as well as the vibrant avant-garde world in which she revolved, vividly in life.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1907 (August 30 – January 18, 1996, Paris) to Italian and Argentine parents, Leonor grew up in Trieste, Italy, raised by her strong-willed, independent mother, Malvina. She was a virtually self-taught artist, learing anatomy directly from studying cadavers in the local morgue and absorbing composition and technique from the Old Masters through books and visits to museums.
Fini’s fledging attempts at painting in Trieste let her to Milan, where she participated in her first group exhibition in 1929, and then to Paris in 1931.
Her vivacious personality and flamboyant attire instantly garnered her a spotlight in the Parisian art world and she soon developed close relationships with the leading surrealist writers and painters, including Paul Eluard, Salvador Dali, Man Ray, and Max Ernst, who became her lover for a time. The only surrealist she could not abide because of his misogyny was André Breton. Although she repeatedly exhibited with them, she never considered herself a surrealist. The American dealer Julien Levy,
very much impressed by Fini’s painting and smitten by her eccentric charms, invited her to New York in 1936, where she took part in a joint gallery exhibition with Max Ernst and met many American surrealists, including Joseph Cornell and Pavel Tchelitchew. Her work was included in MoMA’s pivotal Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism exhibition, along with De Chirico, Dali, Ernst, and Yves Tanguy.
In 1939 in Paris she curated an exhibition of surrealist furniture...

Luis Alfonso Jimenez
Born, 1940, El Paso, Texas, died 2006, Hondo, New Mexico.
Statement: Luis Jimenez, in his work, celebrates the vitality of life. . . . Jimenez es un hijo de la frontera; he knows its people and the landscape. It is the transformation of these people into art that is his most important contribution to the art of this vast region which stretches between Mexico and the United States.
His subject matter utilizes the popular images of the cultura del norte, and a large part of it is depicted and transformed in the rough and tumble world of la frontera. He is also a son of el norte, and so he uses its materials and explores its emerging, popular myths. The tension and attraction of Jimnez’s work is that he always creates within the space of his two worlds, the Mexicano and the Americano. He constantly shows us the irony of the two forces which repel, while showing us glimpses of the synthesis he seeks. What a gift it has been to us for this talented artist to reflect on the soul of our region. He gives meaning to our existence and history.
Rudolfo Anaya (passage chosen by the artist), A View from La Frontera, Man on Fire: Luis Jimenez, pp. 1, 3, 6Biography: Luis Jimenez was born in Texas to parents who had emigrated from Mexico to the United States; he would later dedicate his 1989 sculpture Border Crossing to his father, who had entered the country illegally. The elder Jimenez was a neon sign designer in El Paso, and Luis worked with him as a youth. His experience working in the neon shop and his fascination with U.S. car culture would both become major influences on his art career.
Jimenez studied architecture at the University of Texas, Austin (UTA), and also took art courses in which he first created sculptures with wood, steel, and fiberglass, choosing the latter because of its association with U.S. popular culture. He subsequently became one of the artists who made fiberglass an acceptable medium in the 1960s. In 1964 Jimenez received his B.S. in art from UTA, and he continued his studies at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City.
In 1966 he moved to New York City and worked as an assistant to sculptor Seymour Lipton. Jimenez began to exhibit his art while in New York and in 1972 moved to New Mexico to focus on creating public sculptures, even as he maintained his diverse output of drawings, prints, and lithographs.
Drawing on his early experiences, Jimenez creates works that come from a border perspective, one that draws upon the hybridity bred by culture clashes. Often socially and politically informed, his works speak not only in regional terms, those germane to the southwestern United States, but to broader, more global issues as well. They exhibit a profoundly Chicano aesthetic and sensibility, one that is informed by Mexican and Mexican American traditions, North American popular culture, Chicano cultural icons, and images and themes unique to the Southwest. Death, sexuality, and the struggle of the common people are frequent themes.
Inspired by authors who write in an autobiographical style, Jimenez creates works that function as personal narrative yet are also able to make statements about culture in more global terms. His use of bold colors and lines, a legacy from his fathers work as a neon sign maker, lends a dynamic sensuality to his work, one that is particularly evident in his monumental fiberglass and acrylic urethane sculptural works
Many of Jimenez's works correspond to scholar Toms Ybarra-Fraustos definition of the Chicano aesthetic of rasquachismo, a lowbrow sensibility that appeals to the working class in that it applies to objects that subvert expressions of the mainstream or dominant culture. Creating art that speaks to the people, Jimenez is able to transform regional and culturally specific myths and symbols into globally recognized and relevant icons.
Exhibitions:
In addition to his personal work, Jimenez has been commissioned for numerous public art projects. In 1999 his sculpture Southwest Piet was designated a National Treasure by First Lady Hillary Clinton.
The many exhibitions featuring his work have included Human Concern/Personal Torment (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 1969).
