Signed Framed Arman Limited Editiom Blue And Orange Pizzicato Serigraph

Excellent

A signed framed limited edition serigraph by Arman, French (1929 - 2005) entitled "Blue and Orange Pizzicato," is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left. This is an exceptional piece that represents Arman's work with violins and abstract modernism.

The French Armand Pierre Fernandez, born in 1928, is one of the most important international object artists and a co-founder and member of the Nouveau Réalisme. He studied at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Nice from 1946 to 1949 and then continued his studies for two years at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. An acquaintance with Yves Klein led to the idea of organizing joint happenings and events, which the two artists realized in 1953. Armand's neo-Dadaist 'Cachets' (stamp prints) of 1955, and later the 'Allures' (prints made with objects dipped into paint) and the 'Coupés' (cut-up objects) followed by the 'Colères' (objects which were smashed and then mounted) were still influenced by Kurt Schwitters. When the last letter of his name was accidentally forgotten on a catalogue cover in 1958, he decided to keep this spelling. The artist discovered his famous 'Poubelles', Plexiglas cases with rubbish cast in resin, at the beginning of the 1960s. From the 'Poubelles' Arman developed the so-called 'Accumulations', a number of the same objects assembled in show cases.

Together with Klein, Tinguely, Raysse and César, Arman is one of the most important artists of the Nouveau Réalisme. Since the 1950s he has been honored with numerous international exhibitions and has presented works twice at the documenta 3 and 6 in Kassel.

Arman is known for his work with cigars, violins, and paint brushes, this piece is an exemplary example of his work with violins.

Signed Arman Limited Edition Untitled 5 Violins 1978 Black & Red Serigraph

Pristine

Signed Limited Edition Arman 1978 serigraph entitled "Untitled 5 Violins" is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered 142 of 150 by the artist in pencil, lower left.

Credited for changing the look and feel of the art world throughout the twentieth century, Arman built a reputation for creating pieces that focused on breaking down an every day object and extracting the inherent beauty of each from within. Arman began training as an artist at an earl age, with lessons from his father in photography and oil painting and continued his formal training at both Ecole Nationale d'Art Decoratif in Nice and Ecole du Louvre in Paris, where he studied the style and techniques of the Old Masters.

Although Arman was taught in the formal methods of the great artists of the past, he explored his penchant for working in the abstract method. Experimenting with the abstract, Arman would often dip one of his every day objects into paint and place it directly onto the canvas multiple times in order for the viewer to discern the beauty of the juxtaposed object. Arman showcases his desire to transform his every day objects into beautiful works of art in his 1978 serigraph entitled "Untitled 5 Violins." Many of Arman's pieces consisted of musical instruments, as his father was a trained cellist. Using only black and red to bring the barrage of violins to life against the white background, Arman forces the viewer to look beyond the object to experience the simplistic beauty of each instrument.
