Acquaforte,1952. Lastra mm. 148x82. Firma a matita in basso a destra Luigi Bartolini. Dedica a matita in basso “Auguri per il 1954”. Tiratura a 20 esemplari, inserita nelle copie di testa del libro Ombre fra le metope, Schwarz Editore 1953, stampato da Luigi Maestri, Milano. Luigi Bartolini è considerato uno dei maggiori incisori italiani del Novecento, insieme a Giorgio Morandi e Giuseppe Viviani. Oltre ad essere un prolifico incisore (al suo attivo oltre mille acqueforti), fu anche pittore e scrittore. Partecipò sia come pittore che come incisore a diverse edizioni della Biennale di Venezia dal 1928 al 1962. Presente a varie manifestazioni artistiche, sviluppò diverse maniere definite: ‘maniera bionda’, ‘lineare’ e ‘nera’. Ricordiamo soprattutto le acqueforti della serie Marche e della serie Sicilia. Iniziò la sua produzione grafica nel 1914 e il suo stile si rifà alla tradizione naturalistica dell’Ottocento. Molte sue incisioni si possono ricollegare ad alcune opere del Goya, di Telemaco Signorini e di Giovanni Fattori. Eccellente nella rappresentazione della natura morta e del paesaggio, spesso il Bartolini rappresentò dolcemente le cose e gli oggetti più umili, i soggetti di natura più dimessi. In essi ritroviamo il sentimento che diviene immagine e la forma che si sviluppa in espressione. Con Bartolini l’incisione torna ad essere un mezzo di espressione poetica libera dal simbolismo e dal vedutismo allora in voga presso le accademie. Nelle sue acqueforti prevale ora un tratteggio leggero (genere biondo), ora una ricerca del chiaroscuro alla Rembrandt (genere nero). Bibliografia https://www.luigibartolini.com/gli_amanti_crucciati_74.html Etching,1952. Plate mm. 148x82. Signature in pencil at lower right Luigi Bartolini. Dedication in pencil at the bottom "Auguri per il 1954". Limited edition of 20 copies, inserted in the leading copies of the book Ombre fra le metope, Schwarz Editore 1953, printed by Luigi Maestri, Milan. Born in Cupramontana near Ancona, Luigi Bartolini was the twentieth century Italian etcher, who came closest to the stature of his great rival, Morandi. As a teenager, he saw the collection of etchings, including work by Callot, owned by the Corradi family in Iesi. From 1907 to 1910 Bartolini studied at the Istituto di Belle Arti in Siena, and started to etch c. 1909. He moved to Rome in 1910, where until 1912 he frequented the Accademia di Belle Arti, while also attending lectures on literature and the history of art, and courses on anatomy at the University in Rome. Bartolini studied the etchings of Goya and took lessons on drawing at the Accademia di Spagna. From there, he went to Florence in 1913, where he attended the Scuola del nudo. Bartolini continued his anatomical research, as well as studying architecture, making himself the most assiduous student of all Italian twentieth century printmakers. He also visited the Uffizi and Florentine print dealers to look at the etchings of Rembrandt and Fattori. Bartolini painted his first oils just before the outbreak of the First World War. Although he painted pictures throughout the rest of his career, and was awarded the Premio Marzotto for them in 1956, they have been far eclipsed in fame by his etchings and writings. During the First World War, Bartolini published his first collection of poetry. A very prolific and accomplished writer, in this field he is best known today as the author of the novel, 'Ladri di biciclette' (Bicycle thieves), of 1946, which was quickly turned into a celebrated film by Vittorio de Sica and Cesar Zavattini. After the First World War, Bartolini held a series of minor teaching posts in Macerata, Sassari, Avezzano, Pola, and Caltagirone, while he continued to etch, and started a long career as a polemical journalist and critic of art and architecture. From 1923 to 1929, he wrote for the Naples periodical, 'Cimento', but he also contributed to 'Il Selvaggio', 'Quadrivio', 'Italia letteraria', and 'L'Ambrosiana'. Bartolini's 1924 exhibition of etchings at the Casa d'Arte Bragaglia in Rome was a great success, and later that year he showed 70 etched landscapes of the Marches at the Casa Palazzo di Roma. The following year he visited Paris, where he paid particular attention to the paintings of Van Gogh. Bartolini's political convictions led him to being assaulted by Fascists and hospitalised in 1928. Two years later, he won a prize at the Venice Biennale, where he had exhibited a portfolio of etchings. In 1930, the Turin publisher, Buratti, began to issue a series of portfolios of etchings by contemporary Italian artists under the editorship of Cipriano Oppi, selecting Bartolini for the first album. The following year, Buratti published 'Le carte parlanti', a portfolio of 10 of Bartolini's etchings, which was published in an edition of 20. In 1932, Bartolini shared the first prize at the Prima mostra dell'incisione moderna at the Uffizi with Morandi and Boccioni. His close friend, the leading anti-Fascist art historian, Lionello Venturi, acted as his agent selling his etchings in Paris. Bartolini's correspondence with his compatriots in exile led to his imprisonment, from which he was released on Mussolini's personal intervention. He was then placed under political surveillance. From 1933 to 1938, Bartolini taught in Merano, where he painted and etched in the open air, finding subjects on the banks of the fast flowing Adige. Despite being under political suspicion, he was given a one - man show of 50 etchings at the second Rome Quadriennale in 1935, when he was awarded the first prize for printmaking. Bartolini still encountered political difficulties, and his ...

Opera tratta dai "Los Caprichos", per la prima volta pubblicati nel 1799. Prova della quarta edizione di dodici, stampata dalla calcografia di Madrid (circa 1870).Acquaforte, acquatinta brunita e puntasecca, in perfetto stato di conservazione. La serie chiamata Los Caprichos è composta da ottanta incisioni, la cui prima edizione [l’unica a non essere pubblicata postuma] venne alla luce nel 1799. Curata in fase d’edizione dallo stesso artista, la serie fu commercializzata e dopo poco tempo ritirata dal mercato. Infatti, a causa dei numerosi soggetti che ironizzavano sulla società spagnola di fine secolo, il Goya subì una censura. L’interpretazione dei soggetti rappresentati su queste lastre, sempre enigmatiche, è spesso controversa. Plate 55: old woman prettifying herself at mirror, maid and two male servants watching; from an album of the fourth edition. 1799 Etching, burnished aquatint and drypoint.From the fourth edition of twelve of the so-called "Los Caprichos" series, edited by the Madrid Calcografia.A very good impression, with good contrast, printed on contemporary paper, customary margins, in very good conditions. The series called Los Caprichos, consists of eighty etchings. This first edition of 1799, the only one not to be published posthumously, is imprinted on soft laid pape. Cured in phase edition by the same artist, the series was marketed and before long withdrawn from the market. In fact, because of the many subjects that mocked the Spanish society of the century, Goya suffered censorship. The interpretation of the subjects represented on these plates, always enigmatic, is often controversial. Harris 90; Delteil 92.

Telemaco Signorini nasce a Firenze il 18 Agosto del 1835 e, nonostante prediliga gli studi letterari, suo padre, un modesto pittore della corte del Granduca, lo avvia allo studio della pittura e fu lui il suo insegnante. Dopo aver frequentato i corsi di disegno dal nudo all'Accademia di Belle Arti fiorentina, e dopo aver dipinto dal vero con Odorado Borrani e Vincenzo Cabianca, inizia a frequentare il Caffè Michelangelo, accostandosi ai pittori che in quegli anni stavano teorizzando la pittura di macchia, ossia i Macchiaioli. Durante un viaggio a Parigi conosce personalmente l'anziano Camille Corot, interessandosi alla sua pittura di paesaggi e Constant Troyon; tornato a Firenze, con l'amico Diego Martelli, consolida l'amicizia con Silvestro Lega e Odoardo Borrani, insieme ai quali dipinge nei dintorni di Pergentina, divenendo il maggior rappresentante dei Macchiaioli.

Printed on Chinese paper applied to carboard. Work not described by the repertories consulted. Telemaco Signorini was born in Florence on August 18, 1835 and, although he preferred literary studies, his father, a modest painter of the court of the Grand Duke, initiated him to the study of painting and he was his teacher. After having frequented the courses of drawing from the nude to the academy of Belle Arti fiorentina, and after having painted from the true one with Odorado Borrani and Vincenzo Cabianca, it begins to frequent the Cafe Michelangelo, approaching the painters that in those years were theorizing the painting of stain, that is the Macchiaioli. During a trip to Paris he knows personally the old Camille Corot, being interested in his painting of landscapes and Constant Troyon; returned to Florence, with the friend Diego Martelli, consolidates the friendship with Silvestro Lega and Odoardo Borrani, together with which it paints in the surroundings of Pergentina, becoming the greater representative of the Macchiaioli.

2022125 Mount Vernon Street Boston Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. The letter would appear to relate to the formation of the American Society for Psychical Research. Six days before the writing of the present letter on 23 September 1884 Minot had been a member of a committee of nine scientists who met at Boston to consider the advisability of the formation of a society for psychical research in America William James being another member. Minot begins the letter by informing Ramsay that 'in regard to the International Congress' 'The matter has progressed thus far favourably and the extent of the interest in the project surpasses our expectations'. He continues with reference to 'The American Committee' which has been given 'full powers to act' by 'the Amer. Asstn. We have already received a gift of £1000 with promise of more as a fund the income to be expended by the Congress for the prosecution of research.' He continues: 'No definite public announcements can be made until the Council B.A.A.S. i.e. the British Association for the Advancement of Science has taken action in regard to the enterprise. As soon as it is in my power I shall take the liberty of communicating with you again concerning our plans.' Ramsay 'will readily understand that so vast an undertaking necessarily matures slowly; at present we are still in the stage of tentative suggestion and no services can be more valuable than those which contribute to spreading interest in the movement.' He hopes that Ramsay 'will assist in this way. There can be no question as to the readiness of the Americans to join in the proposed Congress – The next step must be to ensure the participation of the British scientists.' 25 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. unknown
