Balla, Giacomo: Paesaggio (Ultimi disegni)
Est: €900 - €1,200
Paesaggio (Ultimi disegni) Pinsel und Feder in Schwarz, teils laviert, auf Makulaturpapier. Um 1956. 15 x 21 cm. Unten links mit Feder in Schwarz signiert "Balla". Ein Fließen, ein Atmen wohnt der Landschaft inne. Mit ihren lebendigen Linien und Lavierungen korrespondiert sie kompositorisch mit der darüberliegenden Wolkenformation. Trotz seines prägenden Einflusses auf den italienischen Futurismus ließ Balla in seinen späten Lebensjahren diesen Stil mit seinem Divisionismus und seiner Bindung an das moderne Leben hinter sich und spürt hier dem Pulsieren der Natur nach. Verso mit einer handschriftlichen Echtheitsbestätigung von Elica Balla. - Provenienz: Bertolami Fine Art, Rom, Auktion 88, 26.02.2021, Lot 351 - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

Jeweils unten links bzw. rechts mit Feder in Schwarz signiert "BALLA", 1 Bl. verso unleserlich mit Bleistift bezeichnet.

Ganz gelöst von der Kälte des Futurismus widmet sich Balla einfühlsam den Bewegungen der menschenleeren Landschaft. - Provenienz: Swann Galleries, New York, Auktion 24.09.2014, Lot 742 - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

Gigli, Futurismo e Neofuturismo, Fondazione Mudima, Milan, 2009, p. 49, no. 4 with ill. Balla conceived Futurismo; Fascismo e Sovversivismo; Fascisti e Antifascisti during the critical years of 1924 and 1925, a crucial period for the final rise of Mussolini’s regime. It was a time marked by events of tremendous historical importance: the assassination of Giacomo Matteotti, secretary of the Unitary Socialist Party; elections marred by widespread fraud and corruption; and, above all, the introduction of “fascist legislation” in 1925 and 1926. The measures brought about a radical transformation, turning Italy into a totalitarian state and irrevocably altering the country’s political and social structures.It was against this background of profound political tension that Balla’s work was created. Reflected in it are the complexities and contradictions of an era in which Futurism, fascism and opposing forces were intricately, problematically and often paradoxically intertwined. The painting was first exhibited in the Palazzo delle Belle Arti during the Terza Biennale Romana in 1925. Today, exactly a century after its creation, it bears witness to the fears, expectations and hopes of a section of Italian society, making it of particular historical and sociological interest. The painting’s iconographic composition is marked by a clear polarisation: in the grid on the left, members of the fascist movement are arranged with precise rigour above the Italian flag, evoking an image of order and unity. On the opposite side, Alexander Israel Helphand, known as Parvus, as well as Lenin and Trotsky are depicted with grotesquely distorted faces and threatening expressions. Their eyes, animated by the hammer and sickle symbol, convey unease. Winding through these figures is a mysterious serpent, a powerful metaphor for darkness and suffering, lending the work an intense allegorical symbolism. The most important aspect of the work, however, lies less in its overtly political iconography than in its idiosyncratic and innovative means of expression: stylistically, Balla’s painting departs radically from the usual dynamic imagery of Futurism, but also from the rigid, conventional canon of Realism, typical of totalitarian regimes. This might explain its inclusion in the Biennale Romana, alongside earlier works such as Pessimismo e Ottimismo (inv. 8162, GNAM Rome) from 1923 and Sorge l’idea (inv. 8159, GNAM Rome) from 1920, both currently housed in the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome. In fact, the work seems almost one of a kind, boldly anticipating future trends and introducing elements that would later find full expression in Pop Art. This view is shared by Dr Elena Gigli, curator of the Giacomo Balla Archive, and echoed by art historian Giovanni Lista, who has studied the upper panel of a large enamel painting from the same period (Le mani del popolo italiano) and is likewise impressed by the artist’s pre-Pop visionary approach. Balla’s work from this period is a remarkable example of originality in the avant-garde aesthetic panorama of the 20th century.

Giacomo Balla Volto di Madonna
Est: €45,000 - €55,000
Firmato in basso a sinistra. Balla prefuturista fu un pittore della scuola romana, viveva a Roma presso Villa Borghese come tante famiglie venute da Torino. Prima dell'incontro con Filippo Tommaso Marinetti nel 1910 e dell'adesione al Futurismo, l'opera di Balla aveva accenti pregressi divisionisti italiani (come quello di Italo Cremona) più che impressionisti e forse macchiaioli (si veda l’opera eccezionale "Fallimento"). Non mancavano rappresentazioni dal tono soffuso e nostalgico, come “La fidanzata al Pincio” del 1902, o opere connesse al culto cattolico e mariano, caratterizzate da una luce tenue e non celebrativa, come nel caso di questa madonnina silenziosa e discreta. Questo periodo prefuturista rivela una continuità romana inedita, arricchita dall'atmosfera delicata e magica di una Roma sacra, ancora poco conosciuta e studiata a fondo; un sorriso amaro incantato che evoca notti di silenzi e luci.

GIACOMO BALLA (TORINO 1871-ROMA 1958) PROGETTO PER PARALUME CON IL MOTIVO "EQUILIBRIO SPAZIALE"
Est: €15,000 - €20,000
Progetto per paralume con il motivo "Equilibrio Spaziale" 1925 ca. Tempera on paper 24,4 x 36,4 cm Signed on the bottom: Futur Balla, on the back Pugno di Boccioni blue stamp Excerpt from Elena Gigli's authentication: "[...]In this project, Balla develops a motif that he will use repetitively specially in sheet no. 12 of the Album di motivi per stoffe and in the 1929 canvas Equilibrio Spaziale no. 34 (formerly Casa Balla no. 333). Even if in the square image the spatial balance is emphasised by two black and white spheres that interpenetrate with the two swirling circular motifs in blue, in this lampshade design the iconography of the two spheres of the Equilibrio Spaziale is concentrated on the three swirling hook motifs in blue in order to emphasise the conical shape of the lampshade. In this sense, as Calvesi wrote, "The conical or half-moon shape of the sheet to be rolled up, supports the screwing, the spiral projects". Authentication on photograph by Dr. Elena Gigli dated 19th April 2024, archive n. 1145/2024 Good conditions, framed with glass; little lacks of colour and slight foxing on the ride side of the item
