Orfeo Tamburi More Art

Italian, 1910-1994

Orfeo Tamburi was an Italian painter and scenic designer. After moving to Rome, he trained in the Roman School, and from an early age took part in the artistic life of the city, collaborating with articles and drawings in L'Italia Letteraria, Il Selvaggio and other magazines. His artworks were exhibited in Italy - at the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial - but also abroad. Tamburi's favorite subjects were mainly landscapes, urban views and Roman, Venetian and Parisian portraits. The artist was also active as a draftsman, illustrating old and modern works of poets and writers with etchings, lithographs and drawings. He created fifty drawings for Little Rome, with a poem by Ungaretti (Urbinati, 1944), Cineraccio by Leonardo Sinisgalli (Cento Amici del Book, 1966) and many others. In 1979, the Editions Denoël of Paris and Il Cigno Stamperia d'Arte in Rome published a precious three-volume work entitled Paris 20 + 1 with texts by Nino Frank, Georges Pillement and Paul Guth. For this edition, Tamburi created 105 drawings in black and 21 etchings in etching and aquatint in many colors. In 1941, the well-known futurist painter Gino Severini dedicated a monograph to the artist published by the publishing house Documento in the first volume of the series Artisti d'’oggi. In 1947, he moved to Paris, which from that moment became his city. Among the numerous awards obtained for his artistic activity, the First Class Gold Medal for the merit of Culture and Art awarded by the President of the Republic is significant.

Will Barnet: A Timeless World (hand signed, dated and warmly inscribed)

By Will Barnet

Located in New York, NY

Will Barnet: A Timeless World (hand signed, dated and warmly inscribed), 2000 Softback monograph with stiff wraps (hand signed, dated and warmly inscribed) Hand signed, dated and warmly inscribed to Margo by Will Barnet on the half title page 12 × 9 × 1/2 inches We believe the colleague Margo refers to renowned African American artist Margo Humphrey, who also worked at the Rutgers Center for Innovative Printmaking with Will Barnet. The full inscription reads: Sep 21 2000 To my colleague -Margo- with appreciation and affection Will Barnet Book information: Published by the Montclair Art Museum, New Jersey and Distributed by Rutgers University Press English; Paperback; 124 pages containing 43 color and 20 black-and-white illustrations Publisher's blurb: Painter and printmaker Will Barnet has actively participated in the New York art world for nearly 70 years. A leading figure in the Indian Space painting movement of the late 1940s, Barnet stressed the spatial structures of Northwest Coast Indian art. Throughout the 1950s and into the 1960s, he made a series of hardedged, totemic abstractions marked by their "all-positive" space, which he described as austere, classical expressions of Indian culture. He then moved on to new art forms in the 1960s and 1970s, creating a series of family and art world portraits that achieved a remarkable balance between the formal demands of abstraction and the humanist aspects of representation. Will Barnet: A Timeless World is the first substantial publications to unify Barnet's prodigious output. Art historian Gail Stavitsky provides an overview of this artist's entire career. Twig Johnson, the museum's curator of Native American Art, discusses the relationship of Barnet's work to this important indigenous artistic tradition. Jessica Nicoll, chief curator at the Portland Museum of Art, explores the profound impact of New England upon Barnet and his work. Many of Barnet's works are beautifully reproduced in this catalog, containing 43 color and 20 black-and-white illustrations. More about Will Barnet: Will Barnet was born in Beverly, Massachusetts in 1911. He has taught and exhibited widely over his more than seventy-five year career. His works are in the collection of virtually every American museum, including locally The Guggenheim Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and The Whitney Museum of American. He is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In fall 2011 the National Academy Museum will present a retrospective exhibition being organized by Bruce Weber. Barnet is represented exclusively by Alexandre Gallery...
