Woman - Offset and Lithograph - 1983

1983

About the Item

Woman is an offset and lithograph print realized on Fabriano Paper after a drawing by Willem De Kooning of 1983. The print suite was realized in a limited edition of 2500, and curated by Xavier Fourcade. Very Good conditions. Willem de Kooning (Rotterdam, April 24, 1904 - New York, March 19, 1997) was a Dutch-born American painter and sculptor. From 1926 he moved to the United States and during the tremendous years of the economic crisis he created frescoes on commission from the WPA Federal Art Project. During the Second World War, he became part of the group of abstract artists, formed around the numerous European emigrant painters. In 1948, with his first solo exhibition at the Egan Gallery, he established himself as one of the most prominent exponents of abstract expressionism. his artistic language matures in the context of abstract expressionism, becoming one of its most significant representatives. His canvases are the representation of a deforming and violent vision that abstracts external reality. Adherence to a realist matrix, however also found in those works where the informal appears absolute. In his artworks, the chaotic and violent lines tend to lose any definition of the structure, and new balances of relationships and harmonies of rhythm are born, constants through which he recovers the form and attributes new values to it. To this vision full of contradictions belongs the series of female images of the fifties and sixties, of dramatic and cruel reality, a constant theme of the artist.

  • French Abstract Surrealist Color Lithograph Andre Masson
    By André Masson
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Published Benincasa Carmine. Edizioni SEAT, Torino, Italy. Offset directly from the original plates. Limited edition. This is not hand signed or numbered. Signature in the printing plate. Size is of the full sheet. André-Aimé-René Masson (4 January 1896 – 28 October 1987) was a French artist. Masson was born in Balagny-sur-Thérain, Oise, but when he was eight his father's work took the family first briefly to Lille and then to Brussels. He began his study of art at the age of eleven at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, under the guidance of Constant Montald, and later he studied in Paris. He fought for France during World War I and was seriously injured. His early works display an interest in cubism. He later became associated with surrealism, and he was one of the most enthusiastic employers of automatic drawing, making a number of automatic works in pen and ink. Masson would often force himself to work under strict conditions, for example, after long periods of time without food or sleep, or under the influence of drugs. He believed forcing himself into a reduced state of consciousness would help his art be free from rational control, and hence get closer to the workings of his subconscious mind. Masson experimented with altered states of consciousness with artists such as Antonin Artaud, Michel Leiris, Joan Miro, Georges Bataille, Jean Dubuffet, and Georges Malkine, who were neighbors of his studio in Paris. From around 1926 he experimented by throwing sand and glue onto canvas and making oil paintings based around the shapes that formed. By the end of the 1920s, however, he was finding automatic drawing rather restricting, and he left the surrealist movement and turned instead to a more structured style, often producing works with a violent or erotic theme, and making a number of paintings in reaction to the Spanish Civil War (he associated once more with the surrealists at the end of the 1930s). Under the German occupation of France during World War II, his work was condemned by the Nazis as degenerate. With the assistance of Varian Fry in Marseille, Masson escaped the Nazi regime on a ship to the French island of Martinique from where he went on to the United States. Upon arrival in New York City, U.S. customs officials inspecting Masson's luggage found a cache of his erotic drawings. Denouncing them as pornographic, they ripped them up before the artist's eyes. Living in New Preston, Connecticut his work became an important influence on American abstract expressionists, In particular Arshile Gorky drew on it, as did Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Following the war, he returned to France and settled in Aix-en-Provence where he painted a number of landscapes. Masson drew the cover of the first issue of Georges Bataille's review, Acéphale, in 1936, and participated in all its issues until 1939. His brother-in-law, the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan...
