About the Item
Il piccolo ma squisito disegno, realizzato con una tecnica mista di matita e acquerellatura grigia, raffigura una scena mitologica in cui si nota una gruppo di putti nudi che girano danzando e dandosi la mano attorno ad una "Herma".
Questa tipologia di sculture, molto comune nei giardini dal Cinquecento in poi, composte da una base e una figura a mezzo busto, deriva dall'arte greca e si trovavano di solito nei crocevia delle strade, il nome è legato al dio Ermes che era il soggetto più comunemente raffigurato.
Il disegno è titolatio "Putti danzanti" e firmato "Prof. Enrico Pollastrini" in basso al centro. Enrico Pollastrini fu un artista nato a Livorno che si formò a Firenze sotto la guida di Giuseppe Bezzuoli, divenendo a sua volta professore all'Accademia. La dicitura "Prof." ci aiuta come termine post quem per la datazione, ovvero 1853, quando Pollastrini entrò effettivamente di ruolo

- 'The Artist in her Studio', Paris, Académie de la Grande Chaumière, GenevaLocated in Santa Cruz, CASigned lower left, 'Marguerite Bordet' (French, 1909-2014) and painted circa 1965. From an early age, Marguerite Bordet avidly pursued both drawing and painting. In the late 1930's and early '40s, she attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris where she studied with the sculptor, Antoniucci Volti (Italian, 1915-1989). After several years, and feeling increasingly disconnected with the academic atmosphere of the Salon, she left to develop her independent artistic style. Bordet's first public exhibition took place at the Galerie Claude (1947) and, for the next forty years, she continued to exhibit widely with success, both throughout France and internationally, including in Cairo (1955), Geneva (1960) and the United States (1966). A 1962 exhibition of her work showed a thematic rejection of the Academy's influence and the artist's shift to a more personal and spiritually driven style. Bordet continued to take frequent study trips to Italy, especially to Florence, where she was inspired by the Renaissance Masters. She also visited England (1975-76) where the works of J.M.W.Turner and John Martin at the Tate Museum had a pronounced impact on her development. In an interview with Hervé Serane, Marguerite Bordet described her artistic process in these words: "I start my painting with spots. Sometimes I cover it completely and everything is dark. But then it's stronger than me, I can't bear that there isn't an opening. Immediately, I place a Light. I need the shadow to bring out the Light. So I start with the shadow to create this Light. I cannot define why I need this Light so much. It's stronger than me. It's something that dominates me without my being able to explain it intellectually. It is for me an absolute necessity to seek the Light in the darkness.. You have to open like you open a window. You have to reveal. I remove the stains that obscure my painting to find the luminous background of the canvas.... I only paint with transparent colors and I apply several layers of glaze to preserve this light."
