Painter. Still-lifes.

Attilio Alfieri began to paint under the dual influence of Cubism and Futurism. Around 1930 he experimented also with the collage technique. Afterwards he went through a period of Classical Representation, and then evolved in the direction of an informal, material Abstraction. Thick and generous materials are fairly constant throughout his many different periods. This is particularly true of his Representational art and can be observed in the skilful brushwork of his series of vegetable still-lifes....

Sculptor.

Christian Berg belongs to the pioneering generation of modern Swedish sculpture.

He sculpted reliefs with hollows and negative volumes, as well as reliefs in the round with positive volumes. In the scale and harmony of his sculpture, Berg approaches the spirit of antiquity in his reflective and well-constructed work....

Swiss, 20th century, male.

Painter. Nudes, landscapes, portraits, still-lifes.

Alexandre Blanchet worked initially in Paris. Although his painting exhibits Expressionist, Fauvist and Cubist influences, it is clear that he was greatly influenced by the work of Cézanne in particular. This is most evident in his paintings of traditional Swiss themes, which are executed in a decidedly Post-Impressionist style. His forceful treatment of volume and space and his accomplished and evocative use of blocks of colour impart a sense of Cézanne-like 'sculpture' to his work. This similarity is intensified by his technique of painting parallel lines in different shades of the same colour, a feature of ...

Little is known of this nearly forgotten painter, who exhibited at the Berthe Weill Gallery and was represented in the Cubist retrospective at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in 1972.

Born 1896.

Painter. Landscapes, still-lifes.

Domingo Candia's painting is strongly influenced by the Cubists, particularly Braque. He composed still-lifes using very simple everyday objects, not hesitating to sacrifice superficial appearance in favour of artistic organisation. He took the same liberties with his landscapes, which he forcefully recomposed depending on the format to be adopted. He exhibited several times at the national museum of modern art in Buenos Aires, particularly in ...
