ABOUT THE ARTIST Sigismund Kolos-Vari was born in Hungary and attended the School of Applied Arts in Budapest from 1915 to 1918 and then the School of Decorative Arts until 1925. The artist settled in Paris, and his first one-person show in 1928 at Galerie Miromesnil, which was highly successful, led to numerous subsequent exhibitions, including with the prestigious Galerie Bonaparte in 1929 and Galerie Povolosky in 1930. Kolos-Vari’s early success was abruptly interrupted by the outbreak of WWII when he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the Gurs internment camp. During this period, he created a sketchbook for a little girl, which is now preserved at the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine at the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris. He managed to escape after two years, crossing the border into Switzerland. After the war, he returned to Paris with a renewed dedication to his painting, producing increasingly powerful compositions. His work was highly acclaimed when shown at an important 1946 exhibition at the Musée National d’Art Moderne de Paris, organized by Jean Cassou. The artist was then approached by the eminent art dealer Jean Bucher, who gave Kolos-Vary a major one-person show at his gallery in 1948. During this post-war period, Kolos-Vary participated in the radical Salon de Mai, 1949-1958, the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, 1956-1961, and the Salon des Comparaisons, 1960-1962. Supported by his association with Stanley William Hayter and the landmark printmaking workshop Atelier 17...

Image dimensions: 23.7 x 17.7 cm Senza Titolo is an original black and white etching on paper, realized by the Italian artist Cesare Peverelli (Milan, 1922-Paris, 2000) and printed in 1973 by La Nuova Foglio, a publishing house of Macerata, as the dry-stamp reports on the lower right corner. Hand-signed and numbered in pencil and in Arabic numerals on lower margin. From an edition of 100 prints. This is an instinctive composition showing a very rapid line and remembering the Surrealist lesson of the automatic written. Cesare Peverelli (Milan, 1922 - Paris, 2000) Cesare Peverelli began his artistic career in 1939 when he attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and was a pupil of Achille Funi and Carlo Carrà. Through Ennio Morlotti he came into contact with the Corrente group, preferring however to the chromatic lighting of the neo-cubism the tonalism of Giorgio Morandi. He tied himself to the Argine Numero magazine and was in 1946 among the signatories of the Oltre Guernica poster. In 1947, at the Italian art exhibition today. Turin Prize, he won the Grosso Award, met Cesare Pavese and began to collaborate with the Einaudi publishing house, and produced the cover of La nausea by Jean Paul Sartre (1948). In search of an engagé painting not dominated by ideologies, he was one of the founders in 1946 of the Numero Pittura magazine and with Roberto Crippa he opened the Painting gallery, where in 1949 he held a solo show accompanied by a poem by Aimé Césaire...
