Originele aquarel Crotti

Omdat ik op het punt sta duur fotomateriaal aan te kopen, heb ik besloten om een aantal kunstwerken te verkopen.
Een beetje met pijn in het hart, maar hopelijk wordt het zo een beetje het ene plezier ruilen tegen het andere.
Sommige werken heb ik zelf gemaakt, de meeste zijn het werk van andere kunstenaars. Enkele namen: Richard Mock, William Schwedler, Allan d’Arcangelo, Max Bill, Otto Nebel, Antonio Segui, Jan Voss, Jean Crotti (?), Rudy Thijs (Punky 61) …

Jean Crotti (?)
Origineel werk, aquarel
Constructief abstract werk in aquarel 23x32cm > papier zwaar gekreukt, zie foto’s aub
Destijds gekocht met kader, maar kader was stuk toen ik het pakketje aankreeg > hierdoor is ook het papier beschadigd geraakt.
Werd verkocht zonder echtheidscertificaat, ik kan je dus ook niet verzekeren dat het echt een werk van Jean Crotti, de schoonbroer van Marcel Duchamp, is, maar mooi vind ik het nog steeds.

Jean Crotti (24 April 1878 – 30 January 1958) was a French painter.
Crotti was born in Bulle, Fribourg, Switzerland. He first studied in Munich, Germany at the School of Decorative Arts, then at age 23 moved to Paris to study art at the Académie Julian. Initially he was influenced by Impressionism, then by Fauvism and Art Nouveau. Around 1910 he began to experiment with Orphism, an offshoot of Cubism, and a style that would be enhanced by his association in New York City with Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia.
A refugee from World War I, he looked to America as a place where he could live and develop his art. In New York, he shared a studio with Marcel Duchamp and met his sister, Suzanne Duchamp. She was part of the Dada movement in which Crotti would become involved. In 1916, he exhibited Orphist-like paintings, several of which had religious titles that also included his Portrait of Marcel Duchamp and his much discussed Les Forces MÈcaniques de l'amour Mouvement, created by using found objects.
In the fall of 1916, Crotti separated from his wife, Yvonne Chastel, and returned to Paris. He had begun a relationship with Suzanne Duchamp that would culminate in his divorce in 1919 and immediate marriage to Suzanne. An artist in her own right, she would greatly influence Jean Crotti's painting. In 1920, he produced one of his best known works, a portrait of Thomas Edison. He would be part of the 1925 Exposition International in Paris, and the International Exhibition of Modern Art at the Brooklyn Museum in 1926 - 1927. Over the ensuing years, he would create numerous paintings and be the subject for several solo exhibitions at major galleries in England, France, Germany, and the United States.
Crotti died in Paris.
