Offered is a framed midcentury signed and numbered Mario Avanti mezzotint, “Le Dessus de Marbre. The image 2 of 11 is of an interior scene in black, deep pink, gray and white. The Mario Avati (1921-2009,) along with fellow artist Marc Chagall, attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. He began printmaking in the 1940s, and later focused on mezzotint, a technique that would bring Avanti significant international recognition for his discipline. As a fellow at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in the 1960s, he furthered his exploration of mezzotint, with the interplay of intense blackness with gradations of light that define the mezzotint process.
