Abelardo Zaluar (Niterói RJ 1924 - Rio de Janeiro RJ 1987). Painter, draftsman, engraver, teacher. Between 1944 and 1948, he attended classes at the National School of Fine Arts (Enba), in Rio de Janeiro.

In 1959, he won first place in the drawing of the Leirner Prize for Contemporary Art, at the Galeria das Artes das Folhas, in São Paulo. In 1967, he won the acquisition prize at the 4th Modern Art Salon in the Federal District and an honorable mention at the 1st Ibero-American Painting Biennial, in Mexico City, in 1978. He participates in several group exhibitions between 1959 and 1987, such as the International Biennial of São Paulo, the Panorama of Current Brazilian Art, at the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM / SP), and the National Salon of Modern Art (SNAM), in Rio de Janeiro, from which he receives a trip abroad award in 1963 In 1975 and 1979 he exhibited in retrospectives at MAM / SP and at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Paraná (MAC / PR), respectively. The following year he presents works in yet another retrospective, this time at the Rio Grande do Sul Museum of Art (Margs). He is a member of selection and award commissions for salons, such as the 7th National Salon of Plastic Arts, in 1984, at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro (MAM / RJ). In the 1980s, he received the title of professor emeritus at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).
Critical Commentary
In the beginning, in the 1940s and 1950s, Zaluar works with watercolors and figurative drawings, moving to an abstract-geometric poetics in the same period. Since then, he has shown interest in formal relations and between areas of color and a "constant concern for balance, weight and balance", as noted by critic Mário Pedrosa (1900-1981) 1. In certain works of the 1960s, Zaluar even interferes directly on the plane of the canvas, creating as if it fits and detaches sections of the plane (SEM Título, 1965). Later, he still works in this way with collages, as in Vasados ??em Azul (1970).

Important Italian Glass Artist Ermanno Nason Female Murano Glass Female Bust
By Ermanno Nason
Located in St. Louis, MO
Master Italian Glass Artisan Ermanno Nason (1928-2013) created this smoked glass young female bust with ponytail sculpture in 1975. The only other example I found in my research was in his own gallery /museum, now temporary closed. Some minor surface scratches, mainly to bottom. Etched signature E. Nason '75 to base.
Ermanno Nason was born in Murano in, from one of the oldest families of glassmakers on the island and appeared at his father Italo’s furnace at the age of ten. Ermanno left elementary school spending his time between the furnace and the school for Apprentices Masters “Abate Zanetti” (managed by Professor Vittorio Zecchin) and made his first experiences in more realities, including Pinzan & Cimarrosti where he was proclaimed Master at age of eighteen.
In his youth, Ermanno also worked at the Mazzega I.V.R. collaborating on the great project of Egidio Costantini, which contemplated extraordinary artists of various types brought together: painters, sculptors and master glassmakers, to whom, in 1958, Jacques Cocteau gave the name of “Fucina degli Angeli”.
This experience gave him the opportunity to start his personal search and the opportunity to meet with renowned painters and sculptors. Ermanno worked with all the greatest contemporary artists, from Marc Chagall to Oscar Kokoschka, from Pablo Picasso to Renato Guttuso, from Jacques Cocteau to Braque, from Jan Arp to Max Ernst, from Autun Motika to Alexander Calder.
From 1953 to 1959 he was at I.V.R. Mazzega , assigned to carry out artists' designs for Egidio Costantini 's Fucina Degli Angeli , including ones by Georges Braque , Marc Chagall , Jean Cocteau , Pablo Picasso , and Gio Ponti.
Around 1955 begins to collaborate with the Yugoslavian sculptor and painter Antun Motika, also the Kristal-Samobor glasworks in Maribor. Then he carried out designs by the painter Aldo Bergamini, which are exhibited in Warsaw in 1965.
From 1958 collaborates with Fulvio Bianconi . During 1959-61 had his workshop in Murano Campo San Bernardo; continues for Bianconi, Costantini and Motika, as well as for Raoul Goldoni, among others.
He has been partner in and designer at the Scarpa & Nason factory for utilitarian glass.
From 1964 to 1971 he has been first master glassblower at Gino Cenedese . Makes works based on his own designs and in close collaboration with the leading designer Antonio Da Ros .
In 1969 he carries out monumental glass sculptures...
