Author: LOCATELLI - Orsini Gianni:
Title: Romualdo Locatelli. (Special edition limited to 75 copies only)
Description: 03-2019, (25 x 32 cm), 196 pp. English text, numerous colour ills., hardcover in slipcase, numbered and signed by the author and 2 facsimile exhibition brochures. Special limited edition. Total run 75 copies, numbered and signed by the author. The book has a decorative slipcase and includes two facsimile exhibition catalogues (Bandung and New York). For four years, from 1939 until his tragic disappearance at the age of 37, Romualdo Locatelli (1905-1943 ?) lived and worked in the former Dutch East Indies and the Philippines. Although his paintings from Java and Bali are by far his rarest and thus most expensive and sought-after works, previous biographies have mainly described and illustrated Locatelli's Italian and North African experiences and oeuvre. The 1994 Memoirs of Erminia Locatelli Rogers (1908-2005), the artist's widow, have been the sole relevant guideline to his Southeast Asian fortunes and misfortunes. Mr. Didier Hamel, who published these Memoirs, has written a Preface to the current book. 'Romualdo Locatelli, Eternal Green under an Eternal Sun' is the first-ever biography to focus in detail on the final four years of Locatelli's brief yet eventful existence. It tells the story of a painter who reached fullest artistic bloom in the turbulent period when Southeast Asia was plunged into World War II, who mysteriously disappeared there, and thus, during the following 75 years, attained a status that evolved to mythological proportions.
