in the studio of Pietro Annigoni. A master of landscapes, architectural

Luciano Guarnieri's first experiments with lithography date
from 1962. Since that time he has created a fine oeuvre of color lithographs
(some with extra applications of hand coloring) depicting scenes throughout
Europe and North America. Many of these have been published as sets, such
as "Mexico" (12 lithographs, 1962), "New York" (14 lithographs, 1965),
"Firenze" 'Florence' (12 lithographs, 1966), "Ombra su Praga" 'Shadow over Prague' (12
Lithographs, 1969) and "Luna 1969" 'Moon 1969' (14 lithographs, 1970). |

This original lithograph entitle, "The Eclipse"
(Ritorno: L'Eclissi) hails from "Luna 1969". In what must
have been an experience of a lifetime Luciano Guarnieri was invited by
NASA to meet and work with the astronauts Conrad, Gordon and Bean at the
Space Center, Houston. He subsequently attended the launching of Apollo
XII at Cape Kennedy and artistically delineated everything surrounding
this most historic second landing on the Moon. "Luna 1969" was published in
Florence in March of 1970. The entire portfolio consisted of fourteen large
lithographs, each signed and numbered in a limited edition of 375 impressions.
This original lithograph entitled "The Eclipse" contains both color
printings and applied hand coloring by the artist. |
