Villa 1968 1/6', H46.8 x W9.5 x D10 cm (including base) Provenance: private collection, USA, purchased from an exhibition of the artist's work in Johannesburg c.1970s Note: another edition of this work was owned by the artist's lifelong friend Aldo Carrara. The pair lived and worked together in Post-War South Africa. Born in Italy, the artist came to South Africa as a prisoner-of-war, but chose to stay their following his release. Villa became a leading voice in Modern sculpture in South African, in the Post-War era, alongside his friends Douglas Portway and Giuseppe Cattaneo, creating abstracted works based on organic forms and rock formations. The Edoardo Villa Museum at the University of Pretoria was opened in 1995 and later another museum in his birthplace of Treviglio. Numerous examples of the artist's work are found in public spaces, in particular in Johannesburg, where the artist would frequently exhibit his work in the open-air from the 1950s onwards. He would also represent South African on 5 occasions at the Venice Biennale and also at the São Paulo Biennale.

Edoardo VILLA 1915 (Bergame, Italie) - 1 mai 2011 (Johannesburg, Afrique du Sud)
Est: €75,000 - €85,000
Edoardo VILLA 1915 (Bergame, Italie) - 1 mai 2011 (Johannesburg, Afrique du Sud) Standing Figure, Mapogga Man Importante Sculpture en bronze patiné Signée et datée 1960, avec la mention « 2/3 - R.S.A » H : 212 cm Vendu sur désignation Standing Figure, est une sculpture caractéristique de l'oeuvre d'Edoardo Villa Une oeuvre similaire est reproduite dans l'ouvrage de Chris de Klerk et Gerard de Kamper, Villa in Bronze, Université de Prétoria, p. 78. Artiste interculturel , Edoardo Daniele Villa, est un sculpteur plasticien sud-africain d'origine italienne qui réalise principalement ses oeuvres en bronze et en acier. Il commence sa carrière de sculpteur en se formant à l'école d'art Andrea Fontini à Milan. Il s'est imposé comme une figure éminente de la scène artistique sud-africaine, en tant que membre de la South African Arts Association et du South African Council of Artists, et grâce à des relations de longue date avec des universités de premier plan, telles que l'Université de Pretoria et l'Université de Johannesbourg. Il a représenté l'Afrique du Sud à la Biennale de São Paulo ainsi qu'à la Biennale de Venise à cinq reprises, et a présenté plus de 100 expositions individuelles et collectives dans le monde. Avec le déclenchement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Edoardo Villa est enrôlé dans l'armée, est affecté en Afrique du Nord et capturé par les forces anglaises et se retrouve blessé en Égypte. Entre 1941 et 1942, Villa est de nouveau envoyé en Afrique pendant quatre ans, en tant que prisonnier de guerre. Durant cette période d'incarcération, des ateliers artistiques proposés aux détenus permettent à Villa de parfaire son talent et de se familiariser avec l'art africain. C'est également en prison que le sculpteur étudie l'oeuvre d'Auguste Rodin. Les conditions sommaires de sa détention se traduisent dans son oeuvre, décrite comme « émotionnelle » par Von Maltitz. En outre, Esmé Berman note que « le réalisme rodinesque a caractérisé la première phase de la carrière sud-africaine d'Edoardo Villa » Il fut particulièrement sensible aux ravages de la guerre et aux atrocités qu'il a pu voir. Notre sculpture, qui pourrait représenter un guerrier, illustre ce passé belliqueux dans la vie de l'artiste. En outre, la géométrisation des formes de ce personnage rappelle également la posture et les armes traditionnelles des soldats africains. C'est après sa libération que le sculpteur décide de rester vivre en Afrique du Sud et d'y développer un art interculturel, entre l'Italie et l'Afrique. Villa s'est particulièrement inspiré de l'art traditionnel africain, et il perçoit dans la statuaire africaine l'invention de la stylisation ou abstraction des formes du corps humain. Malgré l'influence importante de l'art africain dans son oeuvre, Edoardo Villa n'a jamais défendu s'être inspiré de cette culture. Le sculpteur confesse n'avoir jamais collectionné d'oeuvres africaines durant sa vie. En 70 ans de carrière, le travail de Edoardo Villa a connu des transformations stylistiques remarquables. Les têtes, les bustes et les reliefs figuratifs ont cédé la place à une abstraction stylisée et des formes modernistes inspirées du paysage artistique et culturel africain. Sa plus grande exposition, «Villa at 80», s'est tenue à Johannesburg en 1995, avec près de 300 oeuvres exposées. Suite au succès de l'exposition, des articles ont été fréquemment publiés sur le travail de Villa, en Afrique du Sud et en Italie, soulignant l'impact de Villa sur le développement de l'art sud-africain. Aujourd'hui, les sculptures publiques d'Edoardo Villa marquent le paysage métropolitain de Johannesburg - ses sculptures sont mieux représentées dans cette ville que le travail de tout autre artiste.

EDOARDO VILLA (Bergamo 1915 - Joannesburg 2011) Standing form figure, 1973 Scultura in acciaio, cm. 107 x 13 Firma e data in basso su un lato Base in plexiglass PROVENIENZA Collezione privata, Roma 'Dopo essere stato prigioniero di guerra in Sudafrica, ho deciso di rimanere e iniziare la mia carriera a causa delle opportunità disponibili per i giovani, lo spazio aperto in contrapposizione alla vita chiusa di un continentale. Tutto ciò che sentivo in Europa era stato fatto, messo in discussione ed esaurito. Qui, in Africa, ho sentito di avere la possibilità di esplorare... Se qualcosa potesse riassumere la mia preoccupazione fondamentale nell'arte, è quella dell'uomo e dell'individuo - la condizione umana .... I musei sono meravigliosi ma la partecipazione umana, la vicinanza fisica e l'impegno tattile sono più importanti' Edoardo Villa Edoardo Villa nasce a Bergamo e studia scultura a Milano dove, nel 1939, viene arruolato per due anni nell'esercito. Nel 1940 viene inviato in Egitto, dove resta ferito e catturato dall'esercito inglese. Dopo la sua liberazione, Villa rimane in Sudafrica, dove continua l’attività artistica di scultore iniziando a lavorare con teste e figure convenzionali, per concentrarsi poi su astrazioni stilizzate. Il suo lavoro include rappresentazioni astratte della condizione umana ma conserva alcuni tratti figurativi. Il lavoro di Villa è caratterizzato da una forte sintesi interculturale che coinvolge l'Italia e l'Africa. È chiaramente informato dal cubismo di Picasso, che aveva scoperto l'arte africana al Trocadero di Parigi. La scultura di Edoardo Villa si sviluppa ulteriormente durante gli anni '50, con l'uso di acciaio e bronzo tagliati. Edoardo Villa ha rappresentato il Sudafrica alla Biennale di Venezia in cinque occasioni e ha ricevuto premi alle Biennali di San Paolo del 1957 e 1959. Ha esposto in oltre cento mostre in Italia, Europa, Inghilterra, Israele, Sud America, Africa e Stati Uniti. Il 31 maggio 1995, per celebrare l'ottantesimo compleanno dell'artista, il Museo Edoardo Villa è stato ufficialmente aperto all'Università di Pretoria, in Sudafrica
