Luigi Servolini (Livorno, 1906 - 1981) One of the great masters of Italian engraving, Luigi Servolini, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, then perfecting himself in History of Medieval and Modern Art at the University of Florence. He has held various roles within the Italian academic world and his production as an art critic is also impressive, a profession he did simultaneously with that of engraver. In 1935 he promoted the creation of a Xylograph Museum in Carpi, birthplace of the master Ugo da Carpi (ca 1480 - Rome 1532), inviting Italian xylographers to send their artworks, which today constitute an important nucleus of the museum itself, inaugurated in 1937. Together with Carlo Carrà he founded the association of the Italian engravers. His woodcuts are characterized by a classic cut and a formal order, and are soon recognizable. He has been present in as many as six biennials of Venice and seven four-years of Rome. Literature Comanducci A.M.

Acquaforte, 1978, firmata e datata in lastra in basso al centro. Firma a matita Beppi Zancan in basso a destra. Esemplare stampato su carta cina, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Beppi Zancan nacque a Torino il 14 febbraio del 1936 da una famiglia di origine veneta di giuristi, medici e docenti universitari. Durante la guerra, riparó con la famiglia nella villa di Viverone, dove trascorse alcuni degli anni piú belli della fanciullezza insieme al fratello Giampaolo, divenuto poi uno tra i più noti avvocati penalisti italiani. Rientrato a Torino, frequentó il liceo classico presso l’Istituto Sociale dei padri Gesuiti, dove si distinse come studente brillante e geniale. Si laureó in giurisprudenza con Norberto Bobbio, del quale fu assistente, elaborando una tesi di filosofia del diritto sul concetto di giustizia in Dostoevskij, che fu molto apprezzata e che ottenne numerosi riconoscimenti. L’amore per Dostoevskij, che Beppi leggeva anche in lingua originale, rimase una costante della sua intera esistenza. Assolto il servizio militare a Casale, tornó a Torino dove, abbandonó la carriera universitaria, per una sua incompatibilitá con le formalitá piú rigide e canoniche, da artista intenso ed eccentrico qual era. Trasferitosi a Milano, incontró Arrigo Polillo, direttore della rivista Musica Jazz e direttore del personale di Arnoldo Mondadori, che, apprezzatene le doti di musicista e riconosciutone l’estro creativo, lo volle con sé come pubblicitario e creativo. É di questo periodo, nel 1967, la sua prima mostra personale di incisioni, ordinata presso la galleria L’Arte Antica di Torino. Si trattava di incisioni di grandissimo talento tecnico, strettamente correlate al lavoro del Maestro ideale di Beppi Zancan, Rembradt. Nel 1971 espose di nuovo all’Arte Antica di Torino e al Gabinetto delle Stampe di Milano e nel 1974 al Casinò di Sanremo. Nel 1974, divenne giornalista professionista e, nel 1975, gli fu affidata la direzione de Il Mago, una delle più importanti riviste di fumetti italiane, sulle cui pagine trovavano spazio tavole di giovani autori italiani esordienti così come strisce straniere, prevalentemente umoristiche. In quello stesso anno conobbe Carlotta Frattini, che divenne sua moglie l’anno successivo. Ancora nel 1976, ordinò una nuova mostra di incisioni, nuovamente presso la galleria L’Arte Antica, mentre la prima esposizione torinese di opere pittoriche avvenne soltanto nel 1981, presso la galleria Quaglino di piazza San Carlo; qui espose le sue tele, in cui l’impronta dei grandi impressionisti, tra i quali soprattutto Van Gogh e Cezanne emergeva forte ed evidente. La pennellata di Beppi Zancan rimane tuttavia personale e autonoma, pur riflettendo ardentemente l’ammirazione per quei grandi. Etching, 1978, signed and dated in plate at lower center. Signature in pencil Beppi Zancan at lower right. Example printed on china paper, in perfect condition. Beppi Zancan was born in Turin on February 14, 1936 into a family of Venetian origin of jurists, doctors and university professors. During the war, he took refuge with his family in the villa in Viverone, where he spent some of the best years of his childhood together with his brother Giampaolo, who later became one of the most famous Italian criminal lawyers. Back in Turin, he attended the classical high school at the Social Institute of the Jesuit Fathers, where he distinguished himself as a brilliant and brilliant student. He graduated in law with Norberto Bobbio, of whom he was an assistant, elaborating a thesis on the philosophy of law on the concept of justice in Dostoevsky, which was much appreciated and received numerous awards. The love for Dostoevsky, which Beppi also read in the original language, remained a constant throughout his life. After completing his military service in Casale, he returned to Turin where he abandoned his university career, due to his incompatibility with the most rigid and canonical formalities, as an intense and eccentric artist that he was. After moving to Milan, he met Arrigo Polillo, director of the magazine Musica Jazz and personnel director of Arnoldo Mondadori, who, appreciating his talents as a musician and recognizing his creative flair, wanted him with him as a publicist and creative. It is of this period, in 1967, his first personal exhibition of engravings, ordered at the gallery L'Arte Antica in Turin. These were engravings of great technical talent, closely related to the work of Beppi Zancan's ideal master, Rembrandt. In 1971 he exhibited again at the Arte Antica of Turin and at the Gabinetto delle Stampe of Milan and in 1974 at the Casino of Sanremo. In 1974, he became a professional journalist and, in 1975, he was entrusted with the direction of Il Mago, one of the most important Italian comics magazines, on the pages of which there were tables of young Italian authors as well as foreign strips, mainly humorous. In that same year he met Carlotta Frattini, who became his wife the following year. Still in 1976, he ordered a new exhibition of engravings, once again at the gallery L'Arte Antica, while the first Turinese exhibition of paintings took place only in 1981, at the Quaglino gallery in Piazza San Carlo; here he exhibited his canvases, in which the imprint of the great impressionists, among whom above all Van Gogh and Cezanne emerged strong and evident. Beppi Zancan's brushstroke, however, remains personal and autonomous, even though it ardently reflects his admiration for those great artists.

2 volumes in-4to (31 x 23.5 cm): the text is in French and covers 930 pages, including an extensive catalogue raisonne of 450 pages; the plate volume comprises 913 illustrations, nearly half of them in colour.Binding: Cloth bound with dust jacket in a decorative slipcase, Printed in an edition of 500 copies. ISBN 9070288087. This book, written and published in French only, is the first exhaustive monograph dedicated to Liotard, the principal Geneva painter. The authors have previously published many articles on the theme.Jean-Etienne Liotard (Geneva 1702-1789), trained as an enamelist in Geneva and in Paris, received international acclaim as an itinerant portrait painter working for the major courts of Europe. He was established in Paris, in Italy, four years in Constantinople, in Moldavia, then several times in Vienna, Germany, Paris, London, the Netherlands and Geneva. During the fifty-five years of his activity, from 1725 to 1780, he worked for forty years in the European capitals. While mindful to his competitors, he never fully adhered to a national school. His aesthetic conception was totally original and independent, opposed to academic conventions, without any concessions made to the conventions characterizing court portraiture. In the field of enamel and miniature painting he had no equal.Some 525 works of his production survive, including 280 pastels, oils, enamels, miniatures, engravings, and 140 drawings. Many other works are documented but lost. The ?uvre is today spread across museums of Europe and the United States - foremost in Geneva and Amsterdam, - and in private collections. Numerous masterpieces have never been on view, many works are now published for the first time.The book discusses the life and the art of Liotard, his artistic trajectory, the particularities of his style, his evolution, his self portraits. The sources cover the genealogy, contracts, inventories, the two autobiographies and the contemporary biographies. The chapter of the techniques deals with the practical aspects of his art. His collection of old paintings is studied in detail. His two theoretical publications, including the Treatise of 1781, are reprinted in full and analyzed in detail.The bulk of the text is the critical catalogue in chronological sequence, discussing in each case the relevant aspects and the biography of the represented sitters. A chapter presents the graphic production of the engraver Jean-Michel Liotard, his twin brother. A major section comprises for the first time all the letters of Liotard and large excerpts of the letters of his family.The 900 illustrations, to a large extent in colour, throw full light upon the international dimension of the art of Liotard and bring to life this great artist.
