JOAN MIRÓ I FERRÀ (Barcelona, 1893 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983)."Càntic del Sol, Franz von Assisi", 1975.Color etching with aquatint on Velin d'Arches paper, copy 6/12.Ediciones Polígrafa, Barcelona.Signed and numbered in pencil in the lower margin.Work published in "Miró engraver", Jacques Dupin Rizzoli NY 1989, ref. Dupin III 865.Provenance: private collection U.K Gildens Fine Art, London.Measurements: 39,5 x 52 cm. (print); 51,5 x 62,5 cm.(paper); 80 x 102 cm. (frame).Graphic work of very few copies, 11 more worldwide, characterized by its overwhelming simplicity, inspired by the poetry of Francis of Assisi.Joan Miró is formed in Barcelona, and debuts individually in 1918, in the Dalmau Galleries. In 1920 he moved to Paris and met Picasso, Raynal, Max Jacob, Tzara and the Dadaists. There, under the influence of surrealist poets and painters, he matures his style; he tries to transpose surrealist poetry to the visual, based on memory, fantasy and the irrational. His third exhibition in Paris, in 1928, was his first great triumph: the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired two of his works. He returned to Spain in 1941, and that same year the museum dedicated a retrospective to him that would be his definitive international consecration. Throughout his life he received numerous awards, such as the Grand Prizes of the Venice Biennale and the Guggenheim Foundation, the Carnegie Prize for Painting, the Gold Medals of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Fine Arts, and was named Doctor Honoris Causa by the universities of Harvard and Barcelona. His work can currently be seen at the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, as well as at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the MoMA in New York, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, the National Gallery in Washington, the MNAM in Paris and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo.
PABLO RUIZ PICASSO (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, France, 1973). "Bacchanale", ca. 1959. Color etching and aquatint on BFK Rives paper, copy 15/300. Signed and justified by hand. Published by Crommenlynck of Paris. A note on the back specifies the use of 15 colors including 5 different whites. Measurements: 46.4 x 55.9 cm (print); 53 x 76 cm (paper); 89.5 x 97.5 cm (frame).. The bacchanals were a theme very cultivated by Picasso, from his interest in classical mythology, through which he filtered his most intimate vision of life, desire and melancholy. Creator of Cubism together with Braque, Picasso was a turning point in the history of art. He began his studies in 1895, at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and only two years later he had his first individual exhibition, at the café "Els Quatre Gats". After several short stays in Paris, Picasso settled definitively in the French capital in 1904. The definitive international recognition will come in 1939, as a result of the retrospective that the MOMA in New York dedicates to him. During the following decades, anthological exhibitions will be dedicated to him all over the world, in Rome, Milan, Paris, Cologne and New York, among many other cities. He is represented in the most important museums around the world, such as the Metropolitan, the MOMA and the Guggenheim in New York, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the National Gallery in London or the Reina Sofia in Madrid.
GIOVANNI BATTISTA TIEPOLO (ITALIAN 1696-1770) A LARGE GROUP OF PUNCHINELLI Pen, ink and wash 23.9 x 37.5cm (9¼ x 14¾ in.) Provenance: The Henry Oppenheimer Collection Sale, Christie's, The Henry Oppenheimer Collection, 14th September, 1936, lot 185 (A) (part lot) Where purchased by Sir Osbert Sitwell, 5th Bt. And thence by descent. Literature: G. Knox, 'Domenico Tiepolo's Punchinello Drawings: Satire, or Labor of Love?' in Satire in the Eighteenth Century, (J.D. Browning Ed.) New York, 1983, p. 138, fig. 5. G. Knox, 'The Punchinello drawings of Giambattista Tiepolo', in Interpretazioni Veneziane studi de storia dell'arte in oncore di Michelangelo Muraro, (D. Rosand Ed.) Venezia 1984, p. 441, fig.5. V. Sears Goldman, April 2012, 'The Most Beautiful Punchinelli in the World': A comprehensive Study of the Punchinello Drawings of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, (unpublished doctoral dissertation), Princeton University, New Jersey, pp. 390-393, no. 4, fig. 4. We are grateful for Professor Bernard Aikema for confirming the authenticity of this work from a photograph. Catalogue Note: This drawing is from a distinctive group of documented Punchinello drawings by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770); related drawings by Tiepolo of the same period, depicting large groups of Punchinelli include: A large group of Punchinelli cooking (École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, no. 393); A large group of Punchinelli (private collection, Zurich); Punchinelli preparing a meal of gnocchi and parmesan cheese (Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon; Vivant-Denon sale, Pérignon, Paris, 1-19 May 1826, lot 543; most recently, Christie's, New York, 31 January 2013, lot 75, USD 542,500 inc. premium) (Sears Goldman, op. cit., pp. 393-397, no. 5; pp. 420-422, no. 10; pp. 423-429, no. 11). Punchinello was the buffoon character of the 17th century commedia dell'arte, a subject that Tiepolo embraced from the late 1720s through to the early 1760s, primarily in drawings, executing about thirty-six, but also in at least two paintings, and etchings. Tiepolo's interest in Punchinello was most likely stimulated when he was in Verona working on the illustrations for Scipione Maffei's Verona Illustrata (c. 1725). The drawing offered here dates from the early 1730s; it retains the fine delicate line of the earlier drawings but includes two tones of painterly wash, the wash less evenly applied than in slightly later drawings (Sears Goldman, op. cit., p. 376). Tiepolo, in contrast to his son Domenico, who shows Punchinelli engaged in everyday activities in his Divertimento per li Regazzi, portrays his Punchinelli making and eating gnocchi, and suffering from the excesses of overindulgence. The subject derives from a regional festival, venerdì gnoccolare, which took place in Verona on the last Friday of Carnival. Young boys from the poorest district of San Zeno, dressed up in costume, and gathered at the Palazzo del Podestà to invite the mayor to the town square for a glass of wine and a plate of gnocchi, followed by a town fiesta of eating and drinking until dawn. This drawing depicts a jumbled group of Punchinelli; two figures on the right are engaged in the cooking and presentation of gnocchi, but most have surrendered to the gnoccolonità that affects unlucky Punchinelli after the feast - several are drunken or ill (Sears Goldman, op. cit., p. 390). Some of the figures in this drawing can be found in other Tiepolo Punchinello drawings. For example, to the left of the drawing is a prostrate Punchinello with a protruding stomach lying on top of his hat; a similar Punchinello is depicted in Drunken Punchinello in the Musée de Picardie, Amiens (M.P. 975-6) and Two Punchinelli in the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice (30.082). The Punchinello slumped over on the ground in the centre of the present drawing has its counterpart in Punchinelli cooking gnocchi (formerly Tito Miotti, Udine) and Three Punchinelli gathered around a gnocchi pot (Kennedy Onassis estate sale, Sotheby's, New York, 24 April 1996, lot 250). The composition of the present drawing is additionally related to a disegno di Pulcinella senza Pulcinella (c. 1724) by Tiepolo in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (inv. 11772). A toppled gnocchi pot or Punchinello hat, a wine flask, and a walking stick lie in the foreground. The use of scattered objects in the front appears in other Tiepolo drawings, for example, La folla e i serpenti, but in the world of Punchinello these symbols of the venerdì gnoccolare are represented differently: Punchinello's hat, a fallen quiver of arrows; the wine flask, a ceramic pot with a grotesque carved mask, Punchinello's walking stick suggesting a makeshift caduceus, a serpent-encircled staff (A. Rizzi, Mostra del Tiepolo: disegni e acqueforti, Milan, 1971, p. 17, no. 9; G. Vigni, Disegni del Tiepolo, 2nd ed., Trieste, 1972, pp. 53-54, no. 6). George Knox, the Tiepolo art historian, suggests that this drawing is among the earliest of the Punchinello drawings because of its fine line and delicate, even use of wash (Knox, op. cit., p. 441; G. Knox, Tiepolo: A Bicentenary Exhibition, no. 6). He further proposes that this drawing may be linked stylistically with the studies for the Villa Loschi at Biron, executed around 1734 (Knox, op. cit., p. 441). The present drawing, and others of this period, undoubtedly mark the moment that Tiepolo's draftsmanship assumes its mature form (G. Knox, Tiepolo: A Bicentenary Exhibition, 1770-1970; Drawings, mainly from American Collections, by Giambattista Tiepolo and the Members of His Circle, Cambridge, Mass., Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, 1970, no. 13). Scipione Maffei (1675-1755), a Veronese writer, art critic and collector, was possibly the patron of the Punchinello works (Knox, op. cit., pp. 439-446). Tiepolo visited Verona twice, around 1730 when he worked with Maffei on Verona Illustrata, and nearly thirty years later in 1760 to paint the ceiling of the Palazzo Canossa. By the middle of the 18th century, however, Punchinelli drawings were collected outside Verona; in 1761, Count Francesco Algarotti's wrote to Pierre-Jean Mariette that he had 'les plus belles polichinelles du monde de la main de notre célèbre Tiepoletto' (Knox, 1984, op. cit., p. 444). Moreover, many artists made copies after Tiepolo's drawings, whether in pen and ink or as prints. Some of these were direct copies; others, such as the artist Georg Friedrich Schmidt's (1712-1775) 1751 etching, after Three Punchinellis cooking gnocchi, was based principally on the drawing but contributed new elements as well (Sears Goldman, op. cit., p. 364).
