Rientrati a pieno regime nella routine quotidiana, ripropongo la consueta rubrica dedicata alle rarità in vendita o già vendute online.
Questa volta si tratta di un bellissimo e raro catalogo in lingua francese sul pittore livornese Amedeo Modigliani (1884 - 1920).
La data di stampa in realtà è piuttosto tarda (l'artista era già defunto da tempo): a quell'altezza cronologica la galleria Il Milione cominciava ad essere nota per la scelta coraggiosa di artisti della neoavanguardia come ad esempio Lucio Fontana, che proprio in quegli anni iniziava ad esporre le sue Attese, svolta epocale del concetto tradizionale di arte.
Tuttavia l'importanza di questo catalogo consiste nella presenza di un testo fondamentale per la comprensione della vita artistica del pittore e per l'aneddotica legata alla sua quotidianità: Les souvenirs de Lunia Czechowska, scritti nel 1953 ma pubblicati per la prima volta proprio qui.
Lunia fu amica di Modigliani e ne conobbe i lati più nascosti.
Il catalogo è stato battuto su Ebay a 86 euro con tre offerte.
Back to the daily routine, I'm continuing our usual column dedicated to scarce book for sale online.
This time I'm writing about a cute and rare French catalogue of the livornese painter Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920).
Actually the printing date is quite late (the artist was already dead): at that time the gallery Il Milione was becoming famous for his brave choices of the avant-garde's artists like Lucio Fontana, who right that years was approaching his Attese, the epochal turning point of the traditional idea of art.
However the importance of this catalogue is in the presence of a foundamental text for the comprehension of Modigliani's work and for the anecdotes related to his life: Les souvenirs de Lunia Czechowska, wrote in 1953 but never published before.
Lunia was her friend and she knew the most hidden parts of his soul.
The catalogue was sold on Ebay for 86 euros, with three bids.
