Ernesto Micaelles (Thayaht)
Collage - Drawing by Thayaht - 1920s

1920s

About the Item

Collage is an original Modern Artwork realized in the 1920s by the Italian artist Thayaht (Florence, 1893 – Florence, 1959). Original pencil, golden gouache, cloth and ivory on paper. Framed in a beautiful coeval frame. Total dimensions: 24 x 29 cm. Preparatory drawing for an invitation to a fashion show. Provenance: Estate Thayhat. Certificate of Authenticity released by Alessandro Michahelles. The artist’s stamp is present on the back. Mint conditions. The work has been realized by the Italian artist Thayaht. Thayaht was the pseudonym of artist and designer Ernesto Michahelles (Florence, 1893 – Florence, 1959) best known for his revolutionary design of the TuTa and his involvement with the Italian Futurist movement. He studied painting at the Académie Ranson in Paris, as well as scientific dyes and dynamic structure at Harvard University. He adopted the pseudonym .THAYAHT. around 1919; when written entirely in uppercase letters, it is a “bifrontal” palindrome, meaning it's visually symmetrical and can be read from right to left, left to right, and as its own mirror reflection. Like many futurist artists during the 30s, Thayaht was at some point a supporter of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini: His famous painting "Il grande Nocchiere" (The great Helmsman) depicts an almost robot-like, muscular figure of Mussolini, holding the giant steering wheel of some fantastic craft, while in the sky above him, a long line of Savoia Marchetti S 55 Catamaran seaplanes (of the type used by air Marshal Italo Balbo for his propaganda transatlantic flights) soars into a sky crisscrossed by barbed wires. His work was also part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics.
