MATTEO BASILÉ (Rome, 1974)."Trans- Avanguardía Series", 2004-2005.Mixed media print on aluminium.Work referenced on the artist's website.Signed on the back.Sizes: 150 x 100 cm; 154,5 x 104,5 cm (frame).Matteo Basilé began his career in the early 1990s, establishing himself as one of the first artists in Europe to fuse art and technology. Reconciling opposing ideas such as beauty and the grotesque, the real and the surreal, natural and artificial. Exploring the nature of humanity, the artist developed his own narrative, which crystallised in artistic serias such as transavanguarde (2006), los santos vienen (2007), este orientado (2009), thishumanity (2010), aterrizaje (2012), invisible (2014), pietra santa (2016), viaje al centro de la tierra (2017), stardust (2018), memento (2019), and mnemosyne (2021). Basilé's research can be seen as an interface between East and West (in fact, he lived and worked for almost 8 years in Southeast Asia), a dialectic that works in collision between tradition and modernity, between the professional and sacrifice. Only based on multicultural and timeless (timeless and multicultural) signs or values, because it instead includes visually a more global language where the connubial between dream, fantasy and real, is no longer the predominant real character. His anti-eroes stand out as meticulous, realistic portraits, recalling classical history yet always incorporating the spirit of the present time. Basilé's poetics is an iconographic universe, the result of a combination of technological mannerism and surrealism.Matteo Basilé's (Rome 1974) solo exhibitions include: Matteo Basilé-Utopia, Vittoria Colonna Museum of Modern Art, Pescara, 2006; No Man's Land, Guidi & Schoen, Genoa, 2006; Alchemical Primordiality, Galleria Pack, Milan, 2005; Lord of the Flies, Galerie Beukers, Rotterdam, 2004. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including On the edge of vision - New idioms in contemporary Indian and Italian art, Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata / National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi / National Gallery of Modern Art, Mumbai; Arterritory. Art, Territory, Memory, Centrale Montemartini, Rome, 2006; Nature and Metamorphosis, Urban Planning Exhibition Centre, Shanghai / Creative Art Centre, Beijing, 2006; Sound & Vision, City Museum / Palazzo della Penna, Perugia; Evil. Exercises in Cruel Painting, Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi, Turin, 2005; Italian Six, Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston, 2003. Basilé was the winner of the New York Price, Columbia University, 2002/2003.
PABLO PICASSO (Malaga, 1881 - Mougins, France, 1973)."Nu et sculptures", "Suite Vollard", 1933.Etching.Signed in pencil. 37`8 x 29´7 cm (print); 44´5 x 33´6 cm (paper).In common agreement with historians and specialists, The Vollard Suite is considered the supreme work of 20th century engraving. The Vollard Suite is the fruit of intensely creative moments in which Picasso, in the manner of a graphic diary, developed his obsessions on themes of love, desire and existential fears. The definitive edition of the series began to be printed in 1939, before Vollard's death in July of the same year. Once the print run was completed, the prints went, along with other unpublished series, to the French art dealer's warehouses. The Vollard Suite prints were shown for the first time in 1979 at the exhibition held at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Villa in Paris, from where they became part of the holdings of the Musée Picasso in Paris. Throughout the Vollard Suite the main protagonist is Marie-Thérèse Walter, Picasso's great love of the 1930s. From 1932 onwards his interest in her as a model increased, she appears so frequently in his paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures, in her various moods and forms, that she can be considered the great heroine of Picasso's fictional world. Caught between the anger of his wife Olga and his passion for Marie-Thérèse, Picasso came to consider it the worst moment of his life. In many prints from the 1930s, all the female characters are portraits of the young woman.Marie-Thérèse was for Picasso the antithesis of death, the fullness of life, the ardour of youthful love, the woman-child and the embodiment of his pictorial ideal already proclaimed in the neoclassical female figures of the 1920s.The Vollard Suite is a clear testimony to Picasso's skill as a draughtsman. The one hundred prints cover a wide variety of subjects in Picasso's universe. The series is a considerable part of Picasso's graphic production from 1930 to 1937, and many of the works not included in it have similar themes. Each of the prints becomes comprehensible when analysed in the context of the series as a whole: it is the themes and motifs that preoccupied Picasso that impart unity and coherence to the prints. The major themes are: the passion of love personified in the model, her relationship with artists past and present, and the extent to which creative activity can be considered divine. The two preferred incarnations of the artist are as a classical sculptor and as a Minotaur, opposing personalities that form a typological dichotomy comparable to Nietzsche's Apollonian-Dionysian antithesis. In the prints, an Apollonian linear style is sometimes fused with dark, baroque strokes of Dionysian impetus.
ANTONI CLAVÉ I SANMARTÍ (Barcelona, 1913 - Saint Tropez, France, 2005)."Tête au Fond Blanc", 1972.Mixed media on marbled paper on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Enclosed certificates of authenticity issued by the artist and by Nathalie Clavé.Measurements: 54 x 76 cm; 80,5 x 103,5 cm (frame).Work catalogued in the Antoni Clavé Archives with the number 72 TMCMT 7.In this work Antoni Clavé proposes an autonomous scenography in itself, which transcends painting, confusing the eye, to construct a dialogue between reality and what is painted by means of the union of colour, stain and stroke with a real object, clearly recognisable as such, which, however, is only present in the form of a trace: a crochet handkerchief. The play of illusions is reinforced by the treatment of this handkerchief print; Clavé respects its outlines, the smallest detail of its design, works it in white and highlights it over black stains that emphasise its three-dimensionality much more effectively than if it had been painted directly on the neutral tone, of a disturbing flesh colour, which occupies the background of the work.Antoni Clavé is one of the most important figures in Spanish contemporary art. Trained at the San Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, Clavé initially devoted himself to advertising graphics, illustration and the decorative arts. In 1936 he took an active part in the Civil War, joining the Republican ranks, which led him to go into exile in France at the end of the war. That same year, 1939, he exhibited the drawings he had made on the battlefields. He settled in Paris, where he met Vuillard, Bonnard and Picasso. From this period onwards, Clavé began to develop a work marked by a different, less classical style. During this period his figures gradually lost their precision and form, giving way to the lines and a personal range of colours and textures that were to become the main features of his works from that time onwards. He was already enjoying great international prestige at the time when he began to be recognised in Spain, after his exhibition at the Sala Gaspar in Barcelona in 1956. In 1952 he made the sets for the film "Hans Christian Andersen", by Charles Vidor, and was nominated for an Oscar. In 1954 he gave up decorating to devote himself to painting. In the 1960s he painted a tribute to El Greco, and his painting at this time reveals the influences of that master, as well as those of the Baroque painters. Of particular relevance is the theme of the knight with his hand on his chest, a reference that would be repeated in Clavé's future works. This period is characterised by the definitive transition to abstraction. In the 1970s Clavé's work continued to evolve, using various techniques such as collage, and inventing new ones such as "papier froissé", the result of a chance use of aerosol on crumpled paper. In 1978, the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, now the Centre Georges Pompidou, devoted a retrospective to him that made him one of the most prestigious artists of his generation. In the 1980s he dedicated a series of works to Picasso under the title "To Don Pablo". His latest works are characterised by the recreation of textures within abstraction, with a profuse use of papier froissé. He was awarded prizes at the Hallimark in New York in 1948, at the Venice Biennial in 1954 and at the Tokyo International Biennial in 1957. In 1984 the Spanish state recognised his artistic value with the exhibition of more than one hundred of his works in the Spanish pavilion at the Venice Biennale. That same year he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Clavé's work can be found, among many others, in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, the Tate Gallery, the Modern Art Museum in Paris and Tokyo, the British Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.
