Ritratto di signora (Nives Comas Casati) by Marcello Dudovich (Italian) - Tempera and pastel on paper on cardboard / 1937 - Museo Revoltella (Trieste, Italy) #womeninart #art #artwork #tempera #pastel #MarcelloDudovich #Dudovich #womensart #portraitofawoman #ItalianArtist #1930s #MuseoRevoltella
The work was presented with the title “Eleganza” at Italian artist Marcello Dudovich’s first solo exhibition in 1942 in Milan at the Galleria Dedalo. It arrived in Trieste, at the Galleria Trieste, in 1947 and was then purchased by the Museo Revoltella. During the organization of the exhibition “Dudovich. Oltre il manifesto” by the Museo Revoltella in 2002, it was possible to compare the cardboard with the preparatory sketch and identify the woman as Nives Comas Casati, the artist’s niece and his favorite model. She posed for her uncle, in fact, also for the famous series of posters created for the La Rinascente department store. This work depicts a purely “Dudovician” female model, who will become a symbol of the elegance of the 1930s, characterized by an almost androgynous refinement, full of charm, vitality and conscious femininity. Nives Comas Casati was a versatile artist and part of the Balbian court, which also included other artists like Emma (Mimì) Buzzacchi Quilici, a female painter and wife of Nello, Galileo Cattabriga and Aldo Chiappelli. Sara Accorsi wrote a 96-page biography titled "Nives Comas Casati" which was published in 2010. Casati's light-colored hair appears styled in loose waves that are mostly concealed under a fashionable dark, long-bill hat that casts a shadow over part of her face. The ivory-skinned slender model is dressed in a black, close-fitting one-piece very-fitted dress with long sleeves accented with a silver belt at her waist as well as a large, dark-brown fur collar around her neck which extends to her left arm. Her seated posture is slightly relaxed leaning forward with her right hand resting on her hip in a pose of casual elegance.

Amazzone (Horsewoman) by Oscar Hermann Lamb (Italian) - Oil on canvas / 1932 - Museo Revoltella (Trieste, Italy) #womeninart #portrait #art #OscarHermannLamb #oilpainting #artwork #MuseoRevoltella #womensart #horsewoman #equestrian #portraitofawoman #italianart #italianartist #painting #artbsky
Amazzone, equestrian or horsewoman in English, by Triestine painter Oscar Hermann-Lamb depicting an elegant, stylish early 1930s woman is a very representative work of his mature art style after returning to Trieste from studies in Munich, Rome, and Vienna. The unidentified young beauty with light complexion sits on a wooden green bench with her upper body in left profile angled slightly towards us. Her posture is is a bit stiff with her left hand jammed into her suit jacket pocket, but her gaze is directed directly at us as she gently rests a riding stick in her right hand across her lap. Her short auburn hair is fashionably modern for the time period though mostly hidden under a soft light grey patterned bowler hat. She is wearing a loose-fitting, rhino grey suit jacket, a light cornflower blue collared shirt, a full-length royal blue tie with milky dots, parchment white riding trousers, and long coffee-brown paddock boots. The focus of this realism-drenched portrait is on her overall aesthetic and elegance ... so that her personality and passion not only is known by her trendy, gender-bending attire, but also her detailed smoky eye makeup, rosy cheeks, and bright flame red lipstick. Lamb expertly captures details of her clothing and accessories. The textures, the folds of the fabric, and the subtle highlights on her skin are evident in the detailed painting style. The overall feeling from the painting is of classic, sophisticated elegance that is very specific to the era, yet, would some how be just as elegant and sophisticated 90-100 years later.
