Biography
After studying at the National School of Decorative Arts in Nice and as a student of Édouard Goerg at the National School of Fine Arts in Paris , Mario Avati practiced all engraving techniques from 1947 . Ten years later, he moved, almost exclusively, towards the mezzotint style 2 , first in black, then, from 1969, in color. In doing so, he contributed to relaunching this graphic technique as a medium of popular expression.
Several of his engravings have been used for the edition of stamps . Thus, in 1980, the postal administration reproduced, on the occasion of Stamp Day , the engraving Letter to Mélie .
Mario Avati was a member of the Society of French Painters-Engravers and the National Committee of French Engraving .
The work
Very classically inspired, Avati's work revolves almost exclusively around still life - fruits, flowers, objects staged... - or animals ( butterflies for example), with a treatment of great geometric rigor, but which does not lack, on occasion, humor, starting in the title.
Very admiring and inspired by the work of Giorgio Morandi , Mario Avati arranged and organized his engravings in a way reminiscent of the composition of Morandi's paintings.

Mario Avati
Mario Avati along with fellow artist Marc Chagall attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He began printmaking in the 1940s and later focused on mezzotint, a technique that would bring Avanti significant international recognition for his discipline. As a fellow at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in the 1960s, he furthered his exploration of mezzotint, with the interplay of intense blackness with gradations of light that define the mezzotint process.
