About the Item

Signed, titled and numbered aquatint print. This Monterey Cypress lined trail wends its way along the bluff above the rocky Pacific shore in San Simeon. I printed it using three blends of ink, with the brownest mix delineating the trail. This is a great example of McMillan's work. He takes his inspiration from the natural world and spends a large part of each year backpacking and hiking through the mountains, beaches and deserts that make up the Northwest United States and California where he has lived his entire life. His aquatints are often relate directly to photos he takes on these trips. Born in Berkeley, California, on December 21, 1949, he was raised in a home that had a sweeping view of the San Francisco Bay. This scene kindled his interest in landscape and was one of his earliest drawing subjects. Stephen McMillans etchings and aquatint prints capture the landscapes of California and Washington, and continue to be his primary inspiration. McMillan received a BFA from University of California, Santa Cruz, and studied sculpture for one year at Hornsey College of Art in London. In 1969, he was introduced to etching. He has since focused on creating aquatint etchings of wilderness landscapes drawn freehand from the photographs he takes.

Landscape - Original Etching by Fiorella Diamantini - 1980s

Landscape - Original Etching by Fiorella Diamantini - 1980s

By Fiorella Diamantini

Located in Roma, IT

Landscape is a beautiful black and white etching on paper, realized around the 80s by the Italian artist Fiorella Diamantini (Cingoli, 1931-2019). Signed in pencil on the lower right margin and with the abbreviation "P.d.a." in pencil on the lower left margin. Our original etching, an artist proof, confirms the artist's love for classic style in the wake of another great artist from the region Marche: Luigi Bartolini. The hills and the trees clearly emerge among the often rampant whites, but on closer inspection there is no sign that the view is not built, everything is defined by a fabric of lines that thickens for the contours, and it is made rarer for the shadows. She seems to draw her landscapes from absolute white, where the edges of the real irrepressible by a single line are defined by the hatching. A real skilled hand demonstrates a full mastery of the artistic technique and a real suggestive hatching that has something of the geometrical rigor. In very good conditions, except for a minor stain on the lower left margin and some imperceptible signs of time. Fiorella Diamantini was born in Cingoli in 1931 and graduated from the Book School of Urbino and the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. She studied engraving with Leonardo Castellani in Urbino and Mino Maccari in Rome. Since 1958, she has taught in Rome Techniques of Engraving, first assistant of Mino Maccari, then of Arnoldo Ciarrocchi. From 1951, she lived in Rome. In 1980, she moved to Umbria, in Spello. She has been invited to the most important engraving reviews: the Venice Biennale (1956), the Venice Black and White Biennial, the Rome Quadrennial and the national and international exhibitions organized at the National Chalcography of Rome. His works have been presented at the Michel Gallery in Paris, at the Stockholm National Museum, at the National Chalcography of Rome, at the International Rossetti Library in Rome, at the Prandi Library in Reggio Emilia. Her works are present at the InClub Publishing House in Florence and the Galaverni Saletta in Reggio Emilia. The following wrote about Fiorella Diamantini: Mino Maccari, Italo Cremona, Valeria Vecchia, Arnoldo Ciarrocchi, Lorenza Trucchi, Alberto Manfredi...
