Biagio Pinto (1911-1989) 20th Century Philadelphia Modernist best known for his modernist landscapes, still life and portrait paintings. His work is in the Philadelphia Barnes Collection. Original signed oil painting on canvas Canvas: 30"x 24", Frame: 37.5"x 31.25" Signed lower right--see photos Looks very good, in original "as found" untouched condition, Minor craquelure throughout, extremely minor paint loss, very minor surface grime, minor edge wear, minor frame wear.--please look at photos carefully. This still life boasts the unusual subject of having colorful leaves on branches rather than flowers on stems. The color is strong and saturated, juxtaposing complimentary colors purple and yellow opposite each other, along with orange and blue on the other axis of the X composition. The circular motif encompasses the canvas and holds the composition together, making the eye travel around and around the canvas. The looking down perspective adds another layer of complexity to the composition. Juicy color, circular composition, and interesting perspective make this a scrumptious painting to be enjoyed and studied for years. A wonderful example of the artist's work! The original frame, with some minor wear, has the artist's name and address on the stretcher, and is an added bonus. Please view my other paintings listed on ebay this week--we are adding a new bunch every Thursday. If not sold they will go into my ebay store at a more realistic and higher buy-it-now price, or removed. Biography: Biagio Pinto was born in Philadelphia in 1911. His two brothers Salvatore Pinto (1905 – 1966) and Angelo Pinto were also artists. Dr. Albert C. Barnes, art collector and founder of the Barnes Foundation, was an ardent supporter of the three brothers—awarding them scholarship money for study and travel and accompanying them to Europe where he introduced them to Henri Matisse. On Matisse’s recommendation, the brothers set out to paint in North Africa. They got as far as Corsica where they were mistaken for spies. When Matisse identified them and vouched for their innocence, they were released. In 1932, Albert Barnes purchased four paintings by the Pintos—the first local artists to be included in his famous collection. Explaining this unprecedented acquisition, Barnes wrote: “The work of the Pinto brothers shows that they have studied the traditions of painting intelligently, have the sensitivity to grasp the individual contributions of the great masters, and have been able to make what they have learned the medium in which they express their own temperaments and personalities.” Biagio Pinto taught at the Philadelphia College of Art (Now the University of the Arts) from 1962 – 1972. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collections of the Barnes Foundation, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Dallas Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Miami Museum of Modern Art. 100% Guaranteed to be as described.
