He is a consummate draftsman and watercolorist, and shows equal mastery of the mediums of pastel, etching and lithography, creating works that are unique in their compelling imagery and brilliant color.

Mario Cavaglieri the Glittering Years 1912-1922

New York: Edizioni Gabriele Mazzotta, 1994. First American Edition. Softcover. ISBN: 8820211092. Cover is paperback. Exhibition catalogue for show at The Jewish Museum of New York, 2 October 1994--29 January 1995. Originally published in Italy, in Italian. Translated by Karen Lenardi, Carol Lee Rathman, David Stanton. Illustrated with dozens of color and b/w pictures. Pages are clean and tight; this is a NEW book. Often described as 'the most French of the Italian painters', Mario Cavaglieri was born in Rovigo, Italy in 1887 of a wealthy Jewish family. He trained as a painter and by the age of 20 was already holding exhibitions of his work. In 1911 he met Giulietta who was to be his model, his inspiration and ten years later, his wife. In 1925, for reasons he preferred to keep to himself, Cavaglieri moved to France where he purchased the Domaine de Peyloubère, only leaving for a period during the war when, as a Jew and an Italian, he felt a vulnerability which led him back to his roots and family. He returned to France in 1946 and died peacefully at Peyloubère in 1969...Cavaglieri's painting is characterized by bold brush strokes and a firm skill with line and design. Whether the subject is decadent and bourgeois, as in his early years, or nature bathed in sunlight, as in his later life at Peyloubère, his colours are vivid, pure and dramatic. Better known in Italy and the United States, the works of Cavaglieri have nevertheless been exhibited in France on several occasions Mario Cavaglieri was initially influenced by the Post-Impressionism of Eduoard Vuillard, the bold colorism and rapid brushstrokes of the Fauves, particularly Henri Matisse, and the Secession style of Gustav Klimt. Cavaglieri specialized in images of luxurious interiors filled with antiques, exotic collectibles, and elegantly costumed women. The paintings reveal the artist's exuberant brushwork and richly decorative application of pain. Sections in the catalogue are: Preface; Glittering Years: Cavaglieri's Maturation; Streak of Gold in Cavaglieri; Psychic Analysis: The Roman Presences (and Other Things) of Mario Cavaglieri; Mario Cavaglieri in Venice: From Ca' Pesaro to the Biennale; Object of Luxury: The Feminine Image in the Art of Mario Cavaglieri; Catalog of Paintings; Technical Descriptions of the Works Exhibited; Exhibitions Mentioned in the Technical Descriptions; General Bibliography; Mario Cavaglieri: The Italian Years; A Venetian in Naples. Oversized, 5#. ; Color & B/W Illustrations; 9 1/2 x 11; 226 pages; Cover has very slight rubbing.. New .
