Malvina Hoffman La Frileuse Bronze Sculpture c.1913:

Hoffman, Malvina (American, 1885-1966), La Frileuse [Shivering Girl], executed c.1913, cast bronze sculpture, lotus base with 7 slots so it could be used as a fountain, now attached to newer marble base, artist’s name inscribed to top of base and Roman Bronze Works NY along bottom edge of the base, figure alone measures 39 inches tall, the marble base is 11 inches tall with a 16 inch diameter. Includes a lengthy typed letter from the artist to the consignor that is signed and dated February 1965. The letter provides the artist’s own English translation of the title and also recounts her other connections to Pittsburgh. Most importantly though, she provides an insight into the making of the sculpture, “I came across the photo the other day of this little girl posing for this statue in my first studio in New York, and I must say the picture proved that this pose was a natural and easy one for the child. I remember clearly that if she sagged a bit I would dip my fingers in a bowl of water and snap them at her, and this would bring her up with rather a start and correct the pose.” Finally, she gives her approval of the new marble base and thanks the writer. As mentioned in the letter, the image of La Frileuse would grace the dust jacket of Hoffman’s book Yesterday is Tomorrow.

ROMERO BRITTO : Green Evergladesm oil on canvas:

Romero Britto was born in Recife, Brazil in 1963. There is an almost fairy-tale quality to his story. As a creative yet impoverished child from Brazil, Britto often painted images on scraps of cardboard and newspaper. At first, he did not understand art as a profession until his older brother brought home books about famous artists like Toulouse Lautrec. Britto began copying the works of these masters from the books he got from his brother day after day. In the beginning, art was an outlet Britto used to escape even through his teenage years and early twenties when Romero was working toward entry into law school. Romero has explored many media including watercolor, pen and ink, serigraphy, lithography, acrylic, and even finger paint. He had drive and passion to excel and prospered academically, but Britto was continuously pulled toward his creative roots with a determination to learn & succeed, Britto traveled from Brazil to Europe and then from Europe to the United States to exhibit and sell his art. In 1988, Britto moved to Miami and emerged as an international artist. The following year in 1989, he was selected to add a splash of color to Absolut Vodka’s “Absolut Art” campaign. This incredible opportunity catapulted Romero Britto into the limelight, placing him alongside artists such as Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Other commissions followed including: Grand Marnier, Apple Computers, Pepsi Cola, IBM, Disney, a United Nations postage stamp series, Britto Mini Cooper for BMW, Audi, Bentley, Movado, Volvo, Campari, the Mariner of the Seas for the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, and most recently, BankAtlantic Florida’s Most Convenient Bank and FIFA, for whom he created an official poster for the 2010 World Cup. He has also illustrated several books published by Simon & Schuster and Rizzoli. Collectors of Romero’s work include Michael Jordan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Andre Agassi as well as the Guggenheims, Rothschilds, Kennedys, Mitterands and former Whitney Museum President, William Woodside. He has been featured in many articles published in Forbes, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, ARTNews, and more. Today, the heir apparent of neo-pop cubism holds an extraordinarily bright future in the palms of his talented hands. The label ?neo-pop cubism,? indicates Britto’s links with certain artists and antecedent styles, Pop Art was a movement that began in the mid 1950’s. It combines images of popular culture taken from the mass media with art. The cubist elements in Britto’s work should hardly surprise critics; few artists in modern times have escaped the long shadows cast by Picasso and Braque, Britto’s individual style has emerged from these influences; while he incorporates his own style using vibrant colors, pop imagery, & playful patterns of flowers and swirls as well as an inventive use of his signature within his paintings. Vital to the essence of Britto’s art is its unrestrained optimistic outlook on life. His work embodies the expressionist color patterns of the Fauves, the multi-dimensional facets of Cubism, and the reference to mass culture in Pop Art. With clean, bold, and colorful imagery, Britto subtly delivers strong, poignant messages in a refreshing, joyful and upbeat manner. Over the years, Britto has lent his talent and energy to many philanthropic causes. In the winter of 2004, a Britto original, Volvo V50 brought $71,500 at live auction to benefit Best Buddies International in Miami, Florida. It is a tremendous personal reward for Britto that his art is capable of inspiring others to give. Britto considers the role of an artist to be an agent of positive change. He serves as a benefactor, donating time, art and resources to over 250 charitable organizations and several boards such as Best Buddies International, and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. He was recently named a founding inaugural benefactor of Harvard’s “International Negotiation Program,” by Dr. Daniel Shapiro, in his quest for peaceful conflict resolution. Britto has also spoken at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and at countless schools and institutions. In early 2011 the President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, invited Britto to create the logo for Rede Cegonha, a project to reach over 61 million pre and post-natal mothers and babies. To date, Britto’s art is shown in 100 countries in over 140 galleries, including the Salon Nationale des Beaux-Arts exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in 2008 and 2010. He has also created public art installations for the O2 Dome (Berlin), Hyde Park (London), John F. Kennedy Airport (New York), and Cirque du Soleil at Super Bowl XLI.
