About the Item

Vittorio Amadio (Italy, 1934) African Masks Acrylic on canvas Signed on the back, 2004 30 x 40 cm Authenticity certificate Vittorio Amadio experiments with non-form as an essential tool, providing a whole complex of structures indicating aspects on human conscience mediated through the individual personality or by impressions from daily life. Non-form implies the absence of concrete description of reality. If there is no concreteness, the exterior, formal aspects are intelligible to the observer and therefore cease to exist. The very fact that Vittorio Amadio wishes to develop non-form implies, however, that he is forced to start from his own reality, even if this contrasts with the principles for abstraction. There is an apparent contradiction between the concept of reality and the dynamics of abstract art intending to reinforce the non-being by describing experiences from a non-form starting point, and this constitutes the most sublime interpretation of his discourse.

Walter Shirlaw, Study for Decorative Panel
Located in Bruxelles, BE
Walter Shirlaw (1838-1909) Study for decorative panel Pencil and watercolor on paper mounted on paperboard Measures: 62.5 x 74 x 5 cm (with frame) 50.5 x 62 (without the frame) Signed in the circle lower right Born near Glasgow in Scotland, Walter Shirlaw settled with his family in New York in 1841, when he was two or three years old. As a young boy, he took night classes at the National Academy of Design, and first exhibited his work there in 1861. The first years of his career were spent as an engraver at the American Bank-Note Company, while at the same time attempting to establish himself as a painter. He later moved to Chicago, where he continued to work as an banknote engraver and also taught art at the Chicago Academy of Design. In 1870, at the relatively late age of thirty-two, Shirlaw travelled to Europe to study. Prevented from settling in Paris by the Franco-Prussian War, he instead studied in Munich, where he joined the small group of American painters working in the city, including Frank Duveneck and William Merrit Chase...
