Laura Andreson California, (1902 - 1999) American studio pottery small neck vase porcelain with neutral spatter or speckled matte drip glaze signed under base. Biography from the Archives of askART: These Notes represent the beginning of a possible future biography for this artist. Please click here if you wish to help in its development. Laura F. Anderson was born in California on October 7, 1902. Andreson studied at Columbia University and UCLA. She taught at UCLA from 1933 to 1970. She died in Los Angeles, CA on August 16, 1999. Works held: Museum of Modern Art. Edan Hughes, author of the book "Artists in California, 1786-1940" BIOGRAPHY from The Marks Project: Laura Andreson is known for making and refining simple vessel forms. Initially Andreson worked in low-fired earthenware with brightly pigmented glazes of yellows, reds and turquoise-greens with an undercoating of oxide stains. According to Andreson, early work was handbuilt until 1940, then wheel thrown. In 1948 she began using stoneware for which she developed a range of stoneware bodies and glazes. In 1957 Andreson began work in porcelain. Laura Andreson established one of the first academic ceramics programs in America at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is credited with reviving the art of pottery making in America. Her work reflected her interest in the forms of Scandinavian design, techniques of Persian reduction firing and Japanese ceramic colors. Her creative process radically differed from that used by most potters. She typically started with a glaze and then decided what kind of vessel to create for it. After retiring she continued her pioneering research developing new firing techniques, clay bodies and glazes, providing future generations of clay artists with valuable technical information. Andreson's papers are in The Smithsonian Institution's National Archives of American Art.

Est: €900 - €1,000
RAFAEL ALBERTI (El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz, 1902 - 1999). Untitled, 1960. Pens on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right area. Measurements: 25 x 43 cm; 38 x 56 cm (frame). Rafael Alberti was a writer and poet belonging to the Generation of 27, considered one of the greatest writers of the so-called Silver Age of Spanish literature. He received numerous awards and recognitions, among them the National Poetry Prize (1925), the Lenin de la Paz (1965), the National Theater Prize (1980), the Cervantes Prize (1983) and the Rome Prize for Literature (1991). He renounced the other great award of Spanish literature, the Prince of Asturias, due to his strong republican convictions. Rafael Alberti's first vocation was painting, but his real discovery of this art took place in 1917, when he moved to Madrid with his family and visited the Prado Museum for the first time. He then made his plastic work known for the first time in 1920, at the Salón de Otoño in Madrid, and two years later he exhibited at the Athenaeum in the same city. His painting was characterized by the fact that it was not his definitive path, since after the death of his father, he began to write his first verses. As a writer, Alberti enjoyed great success from the beginning of his career, however, at first, his success was linked to artistic prestige, since he was still economically dependent on his family. The new literary magazines accepted and wanted to publish his works. He was also beginning to make friends within the circle that today is known as the Generation of '27. He began to write in a style that was not only more demanding formally, but also allowed him to be more satirical and dramatic. Since then, his life will be opening to what will be the center of his inspiration, poetry, without completely abandoning his pictorial vocation. Among his last works is A la pintura ('On Painting') (1945). They reflect his intellectual activity during his exile, since Alberti returned to painting and began a series of poems to gather his thoughts on painting. A subject to which he continued to devote himself for many years. Among these poems dedicated to painting he wrote a series of sonnets about the retina, the hand, the canvas, the brush, etc.; a series of short poems in free verse about colors; and finally a series of poems in homage to various painters such as Titian, or El Greco among others.

AZECHI UMETARO: CRY ON THE MOUNTAIN
Est: €200 - €400
AZECHI UMETARO: CRY ON THE MOUNTAIN By Azechi Umetaro (1902-1999), signed U. Azechi with seal U Japan, dated 1956 Color woodblock print on paper. Signed U. Azechi in pencil, with a red seal U. Titled Yama ni Sakebu (Cry on the Mountain). A semi-abstract expression of a mountain man calling out. He has an ice pick dangling from his arm and ropes on his shoulder. A deer looks around behind him. Inscriptions: To the bottom, inscribed in pencil, 'Yama ni Sakebu -56 AP.' SIZE of the sheet 61 x 38.8 cm Condition: Excellent condition with very minor wear. Mounted to a paper frame. Provenance: Estate of Wolfgang Zacke (1942-2022), co-founder of Galerie Zacke, thence by descent. Museum comparison: A closely related print is in the collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, accession number 1964.142.60. Azechi Umetaro (1902-1999) was born to poor farmers in Uwajima in the far-flung Ehime prefecture of Shikoku. Securing a job at a government printing company in Tokyo, he soon developed a deep curiosity in the art of printmaking. Pursuing his newfound curiosity and passion, Azechi introduced himself to Unichi Hiratsuka, an established artist of the time, and became a member of the Sozaku-hanga print movement. Overtime he gained access to exhibitions, met other artists, and honed his own skills, eventually participating in major print biennales in Sao Paulo, Tokyo, and Lugano. An avid mountaineer, Azechi is most famous for his mountain scenes, which can now be found in the Achenbach Foundation in San Francisco, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and The British Museum in London.
