Renzo Biasion Art
Italian, 1914-1996
Renzo Biasion was born in Treviso in 1914, he moved to Venice, where he graduated from the local art school and taught drawing in secondary schools. In 1940, when Italy entered World War II, he fought on the Greek-Albanian front as a second lieutenant in the infantry and began writing a war diary that would then be lost. After the Greek campaign, he was transferred, with the German troops, to Crete. With the announcement of the armistice of 8 September 1943 and the disbanding of the Italian army, he was taken prisoner by the Germans and sent to concentration camps first in the Netherlands, then in Poland and Germany. During his imprisonment, he made drawings of the lager and portraits from the life of Italian and German soldiers, he also began writing a prison diary. In 1944, he managed to escape and returned to Italy. After the war, Biasion resumed teaching and exhibited some works in a Venetian art gallery, arousing the appreciation of the poet and essayist Sergio Solmi. The tragic experiences of war and imprisonment are transfused in writings, drawings, paintings and engravings. He also began composing a series of stories, equally inspired by the memories of war, which would give life to Sagapò, a novel that Elio Vittorini had printed in Einaudi's I Gettoni collection in 1953. And it is in Sagapò (in Greek I love you), his most famous literary work, that the Mediterranean film inspired to, directed in 1991 by Gabriele Salvatores, winner of the Oscar for the best foreign-language film in 1992. There are numerous collaborations as an art and literary critic in periodicals such as Il Verri, Le Vie d'Italia, newspapers: Gazzetta del Popolo, Il Resto del Carlino, Corriere d'Informazione. In the weekly paper Oggi, he edited an art column for 35 years. Renzo Biasion and the etching: Renzo Biasion's etchings have been made since the 1960s and the dominant features of all his art are visible in them. With a sober language, he represents interiors and landscapes immersed in the silence that is stillness is not solitude.

Interiors VI: Soundings
By Peter Milton
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving entitled "Interiors VI: Soundings" in 1989. The printed image size is 29 7/8 x 23 13/16 and paper size is 36 x 29 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil and inscribed “93/175” – the 93 impression of 175.
“I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton”
“Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul."
– T. L. Johnson and A. Shafer
