Mario Avati (1921-2009)
After his studies at the École nationale des arts décoratifs in Nice and at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts in Paris, Avati began with etching and aquatint, but switched to the difficult mezzotint technique in 1957, contributing to its revival. His mastery of mezzotint is particularly evident in his remarkable still lifes, everyday objects such as fruit, eggs, flowers, and musical instruments. These objects with sharp contours are bathed in the splendor of their own light, or in a mysterious chiaroscuro. More than thirty exhibitions in Europe, the United States, and Japan, five films about his work, and book illustrations, including Baudelaire, Lewis Carroll, and the Bible, attest to Mario Avati's international reputation.
His works can be found in many museums around the world. In France, he is represented in some thirty institutions, including the Chalcographie at the Louvre, and abroad in the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery in Washington, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Gabinetto delle Stampe degli Uffizi in Florence, the National Library of Madrid, the Tokyo Museum, the Museum of Art in Johannesburg, and in important private collections.
He has won numerous awards: the Prix de la critique, Paris (1957), the Gold Medal of the 1st Biennial for Engraving in Florence (1969), the Lions Club Award, Florence (1972), the Grand Prix de la Ville de Paris (1981), and the Nahed Ojjeh Prize of the Académie des beaux-arts (1997).
