Toni del Renzio (Italian/Russian, 1915-2007) The Exploration of the First Journey signed and dated 'toni del renzio 28 October '98' (lower left); titled 'The exploration of the first journey' (verso) watercolour, pen and ink 28.6 x 20.8 cm. (11 1/4 x 8 1/4 in.) (unframed) Footnotes: Provenance The Artist, from whom acquired by the present owner Private Collection, U.K. One immediately recognizes Toni del Renzio's vast deserted landscapes with a distant horizon in which strange encounters take place and personal tensions express themselves, here through a veiled figure whose eye has been cut out and placed within a frame and whose body is a plank. The two small figures on the ground seem to be lost, echoing the two balls held in the figure's hands - the like of one of them lies on the ground. There is a general sense of loss, of desegregation, of fragility as of someone desperately looking for a refuge, a place of stability. We are grateful to Professor Michel Remy for compiling this catalogue entry. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.
