Bernard DamianoPeisaggio Nizza, Landscape of Nice, Impasto Oil on Canvas1997
1997
About the Item
Colourful impasto landscape of the countryside around the Cote d'Azur by Bernard Damiano. The painting is signed to the front and is signed, titled, dated and with a dedication to the back of the canvas.
Bernard Damiano is an Italian painter and sculptor influenced by Expressionism , born on January 10 , 1926 in Coni (Piedmont ), and died on June 23, 2000 in Nice .
This highly coloured and highly textured painting typifies the vibrancy of Damiano's work and captures the intensity of light in Nice in the South of France. At points, the paint which swirls in an unlikely mix of electric colours, is very thick. A real talking piece with great impact and amazing energy.
Biography
Bernard Damiano was born in Coni, Italy but his parents then emigrated to Alsace and then to Vallauris in the south of France ( famous for its pottery and where Picasso produced his ceramics ).
In 1940, whilst he was learning the craft of stone cutting in the Revello workshop in Cuneo, Bernard Damiano formed a lasting friendship with the future poet and linguist Sergio Arneodo: later, they collaborated on the cultural enrichment of a village in Val Grana , Sancto-Lucio de Coumboscuro.
Damiano's skills were many and varied. He first found a job as a stonemason and marble cutter in Tende (Alpes-Maritimes) in 1948 (it was there that he met his wife Giselle ), then worked as a cabinetmaker in Nice in 1951. He lived successively in Nice , Villefranche-sur-Mer, Vallauris, then Nice again where, in a workshop located in a basement of rue Benoit Bunico in Old Nice , he painted while studying Renaissance painters and impressionists .
During his first personal exhibition in Nice in 1958 (quickly followed by participation in salons), Bernard Damiano received the encouragement of Nice painter Sylvain Vigny (1904-1970) with whom he became good friends. His life in Nice was interrupted by two years in Paris (Damiano then resided in rue Saint-Vincent , in the heart of Montmartre ), coinciding with his first personal exhibitions in the capital in 1966 and 1968. He obtained French nationality in October 1974 and from that point onwards divided his time between Nice and San Remo.
It was during the 1970s that Bernard Damiano's painting was said to move away from a kinship with Jean Dubuffet , Art Brut and the Cobra movement in his desire to move beyond expressionism. Although interestingly Damiano rarely dated his works, often repeating and even retouching the same painting for several years after. In the 1970's the use of the colour line and depiction of glowing flesh against a sombre background offer a glimpse of his break with his previous style. Bernard Damiano remains globally seen today as a marginal in that for him the sacred and the morbid merge into a sort of savage obsession .

- Froid du l'Etang, French Expressionist Oil on Canvas Lake LandscapeLocated in Cotignac, FRMid 20th Century French Expressionist oil on canvas of a lake in its frozen landscape by Jacques Pinon. The painting is signed bottom right and is titled on the stretcher and signed to the back of the canvas. Pinon was noted as an artist in various mediums as well as painting, including tapestry and stained glass. His appreciation of colours and forms are very evident in this painting where he has captured a winter landscape but with subtle colours and forms giving movement and a jewel like feeling to the composition. The cold frosty light of the day animating a rural landscape, his use of layers of colour against raw canvas giving the feeling of the glassy lake. Jacques Pinon was a 'Renaissance Man', accomplished in many aspects of art and literature. he painted, worked in stained glass as well as sculpture and tapestry - he studied and worked at the National School of Decorative Art of Aubusson. He was also a poet and published writer. “All the forms of expression of the artist Jacques Pinon are brought together. A journey of fabulous encounters for this artist, his work is impressive, not to mention his work in collaboration with very great artists." Pinon exhibited extensively and internationally including a major exhibition in PARIS in 1954. “JAZZ.HOT” alongside Dali – Courtaud – (les) Delaunays – Dubuffet – Duffy – Leger and Mondrian. He also an exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art – Sacred Art Salon in 1960 in PARIS, at the Salomon Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Foundation Royaumont. His tapestries were exhibited in France in 1969 in the city of Lyon at the Galerie Verrières with GilioliI and Lurcat. His painting and sculpture are at the crossroads of several universes. Lively and luminous like a Corrida afternoon, the light reminds us of the work the artist did for the stained glass windows, he plays with both using different techniques and styles and his thirst for discovering new forms of expression. He came from a noted family of artist and artisans. His great-uncle was Alfred de Musset; his great-grandfather and his grandfather both Courtots from the Gobelins factory in Paris, and his family were all friends of Rodin. In 1952, his meeting with the architect Le Corbusier was a close collaboration around projects carried out with Lucien Herve...Category

- "Trunks" Orange Contemporary Expressionist Landscape Abstract by LeviathanBy David LeviathanLocated in Carmel, CADavid Leviathan's "Trunks" is a 39" x 45" contemporary landscape abstract that captures the essence of a forest's heart. The canvas is alive with a rich tapestry of autumnal hues, ranging from deep umbers to fiery oranges and subtle golds. Leviathan's technique gives rise to a textured surface that mimics the rugged bark of tree trunks, standing tall amidst a flurry of color. The style is both abstract and suggestive, inviting the viewer to feel the organic growth and the cyclical decay inherent in nature. The painting evokes a sense of resilience and majesty, paying homage to the timeless beauty of the natural world. About the Artist: David Leviathan, born on August 6, 1950, in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, is a multifaceted Israeli artist whose talents span painting, sculpture, and poetry. After serving in the military, he studied at the Avni Institute of Fine Arts and worked under the guidance of Yehezkel Streichman...Category
