Stephen Ongpin Fine Art STEPHEN ONGPIN FINE ART GIUSEPPE CASCIARO Ortelle 1863-1941 Naples Cliffs at Capri, with a Fishing Boat Pastel on paper, laid down on board. Signed and dated 11 Ag 08 GCasciaro at the lower right. Inscribed H 39 - Le mare(?) a Capri on the backing board. 355 x 414 mm. (14 x 16 1/4 in.) Born in the province of Lecce, the painter and pastellist Giuseppe Casciaro enjoyed a successful career of some sixty years. He was a pupil of Filippo Palizzi, Gioacchino Toma, Stanislao Lista and Domenico Morelli at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples, where he won numerous prizes. Although he also painted in oils, Casciaro developed a particular proficiency for landscape drawings in pastel. He may have first been inspired to take up the medium in 1885, when a series of pastel drawings by the artist Francesco Paolo Michetti was shown in Naples. Two years later, in 1887, Casciaro exhibited a series of eleven pastel landscapes of his own, and he remained devoted to the medium throughout his life. He settled on the hillside quarter of Naples known as the Vomero, for some time sharing a studio with the painter Attilio Pratella, and his preferred subject matter were views in and around Naples, together with the nearby islands of Capri and Ischia. Between 1892 and 1896 Casciaro travelled regularly to Paris, where he had a one-man exhibition and received commissions from the dealer Adolphe Goupil. He exhibited frequently in Naples and at the Biennale in Venice, and won a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. Casciaro was appointed a professor at the Accademia in Naples in 1902, and by 1906 was also engaged as a tutor in pastel drawing to the Queen of Italy, Elena di Savoia. Among his important supporters was the dealer and collector Ferruccio Stefani, who assiduously promoted his work in both Italy and South America. Casciaro’s work was also exhibited throughout Europe; in Munich, Barcelona, Madrid, London, Prague, Vienna, Athens and St. Petersburg, as well as in San Francisco, Tokyo and, through the influence of Stefani, Buenos Aires and Santiago. Paintings and pastels by Casciaro are today in the collections of the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte and the Museo del Novecento in Naples, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere. Giuseppe Casciaro was one of the finest practitioners of the pastel landscape in Italy in the late 19th century, and his pastels were greatly admired by collectors and connoisseurs. The author of an early monograph on the artist noted that his pastels displayed ‘an extraordinarily perceptive refinement and a solidity of touch’1, and likened his accomplishments in the medium to that of such predecessors and contemporaries as Michetti, Giuseppe de Nittis, Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet. The Neapolitan poet Salvatore Di Giacomo, a close friend of the artist, chose to describe the pastel landscapes of Casciaro in lyrical terms: ‘A pastel by Casciaro resembles both Bach and Mozart; it is sometimes both tragic and profound, a moving Beethoven-like passage. This elegance is delightful: this spirit, this taste are rare: this pleasant and assured strength, it does not oppress you but it pulls you: and the voice of this lovely artist has all the accents: it has the ardour and the sigh, the impetus and the tenderness, a cry and a murmur.’2 Casciaro often worked on Capri over the course of his long career. This large and vibrant landscape, dated the 11th of August 1908, is a particularly fine and fresh example of his mastery of the pastel medium, and is likely to have been intended as an exhibition piece. 1. ‘una straordinaria finezza percettiva e ad una solidita di tocco’; Alfredo Schettini, Giuseppe Casciaro, Naples, 1952, p.22. 2. ‘Un pastello di Casciaro ha del Bach e del Mozart; e talvolta è tragico e profondo, anche, come una commossa voce beethoveniana. Questa eleganza è deliziosa: questo spirito, questo gusto son rari: questa forza piacevole e sicura, non vi opprime ma vi trascina: e la voce di questo adorabile artista ha tutti gli accenti: ha la foga ed il sospiro, l’impeto e la tenerezza, un grido e un sussurro.’ .

  • The Impact of Medardo Rosso's Internationalism on His Legacy
    Sharon Hecker Born on a train: the impact of Medardo Rosso’s internationalism on his legacy In 1977 and 2014, the Italian Ministry of Culture (Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio) declared numerous sculptures by Medardo Rosso (1858–1928) to be of national cultural interest and therefore not exportable.1 This decree is based on the premise of Rosso’s ties to Italy, his country of birth and death, as well as on the Ministry’s belief in his relevance for Italian art, culture and history. However, Rosso’s national identity has never been secure. Today’s claims for his ‘belonging’ to Italy are complicated by his international career choices, including his emigration to Paris and naturalization as a French citizen, his declared identity as an internationalist, and his art, which defies (national) categorization.2 Italy’s legal and political notifica (literally meaning ‘notification’ or national ‘designation’), as it is termed, of Rosso’s works represents a revisionist effort to settle and claim his loyalties. Such attempts rewrite the narrative of art history, and by framing Rosso according to exclusively Italian criteria, limit the kinds of questions asked about his work. They also shed light on Italy’s complex mediations between laying claim to an emerging modernism and to a national art. This essay assesses the long-term effects of Rosso’s transnational travel upon his national reputation and legacy. I contend that Rosso, by his own design, presented himself as an outsider who did not belong to national schools and nationally defined movements of his time. This was a major factor that contributed to his modernity.

Under Napoleon III’s Second Empire (1852-70), Baron Georges Haussmann transformed medieval Paris into a modern metropolis in an attempt to improve municipal sanitation and transportation, enhance urban beauty, and to facilitate governmental control over the city. The impact of this extensive redesign of Paris’ urban fabric extended to quotidian activities, as well as to the fine arts.

Cost: 35 €uros ISBN: 978-88-6130-674-5 (softcover) Nineteenth-century Italian art is a terrain that remains largely uncharted. Even within Italy, this most pivotal of centuries has yet to be afforded a comprehensive retrospective exhibition. This was amply remedied by Ottocento: da Canova al Quarto Stato, on view last spring at the Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome. Arranged chronologically over eleven rooms on two floors and exhibiting over 120 works this exhibition revealed both the surprising complexity of Italy and its arts during the long nineteenth century, and the extent to which so many artists and careers remain unexplored.

  • Impressionism 1 Impressionism
    Impressionism 1 Impressionism Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in Le Charivari. Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on the accurate Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the (Impression, Sunrise), 1872, oil on canvas, Musée effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of Marmottan movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. The emergence of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature. Impressionism also describes art created in this style, but outside of the late 19th century time period. Overview Radicals in their time, early Impressionists broke the rules of academic painting. They began by giving colours and shades freely brushed, primacy over line, drawing inspiration from the work of painters such as Eugène Delacroix. They also took the act of painting out of the studio and into the modern world. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes had usually been painted indoors.[1] The Impressionists found that they could capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight by painting en plein air.
