Artist: Giorgio Ferrari, ITALY
Media: Etching
Edition: 150
Image Size: 9" x 11"
Description:
This hand-colored etching by Giorgio Ferrari is of a vineyard with a basket of grapes in the foreground. Giorgio Ferrari was born in Milan, Italy in 1936. Self-taught, he has been painting since his youth but it was only when he reached the "watershed" of his 40th birthday that he decided to leave his job as a company manager and make painting his sole career. His work with oil and acrylic paints was soon joined by etching until--enraptured by the many, fascinating aspects of this centuries-old technique--he decided to concentrate all his activity on this expressive medium. Ferrari loves depicting nature in all its facets and without changing or distorting anything.
He prefers to record calm, pleasant scenes, sending out a "positive message despite the deterioration, which increasingly surrounds us.” It is certainly true that many people appreciate this vision of the environment and it is thanks to them that Ferrari's etchings leave the little village in Northern Italy. Edition number 54
