About the Item

On offer is an original oil painting on canvas by the recognized Italian-French artist Jean Calogero (1922–2001). This piece focuses on a doll-like young girl with large, soulful dark eyes. She is surrounded by vibrant, heavily textured brushwork, pattern play and an atmospheric background landscape—somewhat recalling the architecture of Venice or Paris. As such, it epitomizes Calogero’s aesthetic. ARTIST: Born in Catania, Sicily, Jean Calogero moved to Paris in 1947 to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. He spent much of his life working between France and Italy. He is celebrated for his whimsical, dreamlike style that seamlessly blends Surrealism, Fauvism, and mid-century modern figurative art. FRAME: The work is set in a substantial, ornate gilded wood frame that typifies how Calogero pieces were framed for international art markets in the mid-to-late 20th century. Signature/Maker’s Mark: Lower left corner (photo #7). Image dimensions: 17.5 inches high x 21 inches wide.
