Gottardo Piazzoni and His Legacy:
Russell Chatham, Maurice del Mue, and Thomas Wood
A Special Exhibition
October 21 through November 20, 2010
North Point Gallery in San Francisco, CA
This exhibition will offer for sale a selection of important paintings by Gottardo Piazzoni, including three exhibition paintings from the early twentieth century — “Winter” of 1903, “Sleeping City” of 1904 and “Clear Night” of 1906, in addition to six smaller sketches of California scenery. Several other major Piazzoni works will be exhibited on a not-for-sale basis. The show will also make available several new works by Piazzoni’s artist-grandsons, Russell Chatham and Thomas Wood, and an important landscape by Piazzoni’s brother-in-law, Maurice del Mue, a prizewinner at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915. All of these paintings are owned by Piazzoni’s descendants, and many of them have been cleaned for the first time in generations. The paintings will demonstrate how talented artists straddled the divide between the mystical quiet beauty of the tonalist movement and the brighter, freshly-observed plein-air aesthetic.
