Autograph Letter Signed by Filippo de Pisis - 1947
By Filippo De Pisis
Located in Roma, IT
Le Foglie – A.L.S. is a Autograph Letter Signed by Filippo de Pisis to Gaetano Chiurazzi.
Milan, June 3rd 1947. One page, double-side. On letterhead paper “Ne nous embarbouillons pas dans les métaphores” (Balzac). In Italian. Very good condition, with minor aging signs. Original envelope included, with lacquer wax.
An affectionate greeting letter written with a rapid calligraphy written by the artist had just return to Italy with the first symptoms of an illness will lead to his death. The artist demands to his friend and Italian gallerist, Gaetano Chiurazzi (Naples,1899- Rome,1967), best-known as "Tanino", to lead him his oil on canval “Le Foglie”, exhibited at his popular gallery, “Le Vetrine di Chiurazzi”, in Via del Babbuino, Rome.
De Pisis is today best-known for his cityscapes, metaphysically-inspired maritime scenes, and still lifes, especially those depicting flowers. His work has a particularly airy quality, and is laden with a sort of pathetic pleasure. This letter demonstrates how de Pisis spent his life: between Rome, Paris and Venice, living a very extravagant lifestyle; he had a pet parrot named Coco, and in Venice he was one of a handful of residents at the time who used a gondola. He had two personal gondoliers on 24-hour duty, who wore black-and-gold livery.
Filippo de Pisis (born Luigi Filippo Tibertelli, Ferrara 1896 – Brugherio 1956)
When he was 20 years old, the young painter from Ferrara had a meeting that changed his life. During his military service, he met the "Dioscuri", the brothers De Chirico and then Carrà. He was sure impressed by their way of seeing painting and, at the beginning, shared the metaphysical style. After a short stay in Rome and Paris, at the beginning of the 1920's, he started to rework his style, made of suggestions and original subjects, where the pictorial line is fragmented and, therefore, defined by Eugenio Montale as "fly-paw painting". The friendship with Julius Evola...

Cover letter to Vespignani’s work - 1984
By Renzo Vespignani
Located in Roma, IT
M.A.S. accompanying his "Still Life". Rome, December 9, 1984. 1p. 21x29cm. Very good condition.
"This is the first, perhaps last Findus, entered into the history of art," writes Vespignani about his only "dead and frozen" still life.
In his humorous writing, he described how, in the 1960s, he wanted to paint an "alive, remembering the sea, wriggling like a freshly caught fish" nature, to distract himself from his "murderous dead". But the result was quite different, contrary to his intentions. Because of his being a "realistic painter, or rather obsessed nerista", portraying the alive nature meant seeing and reproducing the gradual decay of the small group: "from the stage of cheerful youth (...) to the cadaverous dissolution."
In the same year that he writes "Like Flies in Honey" dedicated to Pier Paolo Pasolini, and the Academy of France...

Original envelope included. Perfectly readable, on ivory color paper and on letterhead "et spiritualis unctio".
With autograph notes signed in blue ink at the end of the back, by an undefined author.
An affectionate greeting letter written with a rapid calligraphy and in a cryptical way, with quotations understandable only within the friendship relationship between the poet-artist of "Loves and Flowers" and the Italian gallerist, Gaetano Chiurazzi (Naples,1899 - Rome,1967), best-known as "Tanino".
De Pisis is today best-known for his cityscapes, metaphysically-inspired maritime scenes, and still lifes, especially those depicting flowers. His work has a particularly airy quality, and is laden with a sort of pathetic pleasure.

Cataloging Dalì
By Albert Field
Located in Roma, IT
L.T.S. (Lettre dactylographiée signée) Typewritten Letter Signed by Albert Field, on letter headed paper with double heading, central “The Salvador Dalì Catalog”, top right “Compiler Albert Field, 20-25 29th Street, Astoria 5, N.Y.” addressed to the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci -Blunt. Dated 8th March 1958. One page (27.8 x 21.5 cm). In English. Perfect condition with usual folds in the paper. With some pencil and blue ink notes by the Countess.
With this letter, in formal terms and on headed paper, Albert Field, as official compiler of Dalì's work, asks to the Countess make the catalogue complete with some information concerning "Instrument masochiste" and "Ossification prèmature d'une gare", bought by the Countess in 1934.
The background:
While the Catalonian artist was exhibiting his work at the National Gallery in Washington, he commissioned to Albert Field the creation of his Official Catalogue of Graphic Works, a guide to the artist’s works for collectors, dealers, gallery owners and museums: an opus magnum encompassing 40 years of production and comprising 1900 illustrations, of which 1500 in color. Albert Field was Dalí’s official archivist, besides the topmost authority regarding the artist’s work, who discovered approximately 17 types of falsification, as he reported to the St. Petersburg Times in 1987. Therefore, the catalog had the function of uncovering false Dalís scattered throughout the world. Nevertheless, Dalí himself reacted to the falsification phenomenon by saying: “Someone who is subjected to forgery the way I am must really be fantastically good''.
