About the artist:
Nicola Simbari is a painter of semi-abstract impressionist works. He is a colorist who favors brilliant tones, richly layered with a palette knife.
Born in Calabria, Italy, in 1927, Simbari was greatly impacted by the natural setting of his Mediterranean world: the wide sea, intense sky, and vivid flowers. As a young child, he moved with his family to Rome where his father worked as an architect to the Vatican. Before his 13th birthday, he decided to study art and enrolled at the Accademia delle Belle Arti. At 22, he opened his first studio in Rome. Influenced by the sights and sounds of his childhood, Simbari's early works featured gypsies, cafe settings, fishing villages, and rustic scenes of the Italian countryside.
The youthful artist knew success early, and within months of a one-man show in London, he was awarded the commission to paint murals for the Italian Pavilion at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. His show "Le Cirque," for many, reproduced the same excitement on canvas as can be felt at an electrifying circus performance.
Collections include the Bank of Tokyo, Paris; Christian Dior Collection, Paris; Italian State Railways, Rome; Liberty Company, London; Bank of Commerce, Tulsa; Cincinnati Fine Arts Department, Cincinnati; Exxon Corporation, New York; General Mills Corporation, Minneapolis; Pepsico, New York.Nicola Simbari died in 2012.

Nicola Simbari
Italian painter Nicola Simbari used vivid color to convey the beauty and richness of life. His figurative paintings and drawings were often set in serene Mediterranean landscapes, giving them a romantic quality. Simbari had a distinctive contemporary and expressionist style characterized by broad strokes of saturated pastels, creating scenes that seemed to be soaked in sunlight.
Simbari was born in 1927 in Calabria, Italy, a region known for its stunning sea vistas. When he was three years old, his family moved to Rome, where his father worked as an architect at the Vatican. Surrounded and enthralled by the city’s cultural masterpieces, Simbari decided to pursue art. He studied painting and architecture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and opened his studio when he was 22 years old.
In 1953, Simbari held his first solo show in Rome and won a best stage design award for the musical Tarantella Napoletana. In 1958, he had a solo show in London and a mural commission for the Italian Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair.
Simbari never stopped growing as an artist. He experimented with many styles throughout his career and constantly pursued new colors to expand his range as a painter. When he died in 2012, Simbari was considered one of Italy’s greatest living artists.
Today, Simbari’s work is held in both private and public collections across the globe, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Liberty Company, the Christian Dior Collection, the Bank of Tokyo, the University of Cincinnati Fine Arts Department, the Exxon Corporation and the Tulsa Bank of Commerce.
Simbari’s paintings continue to resonate with viewers. In 2021, Findlay Galleries in Palm Beach, Florida, presented “Mediterraneo,” an exhibition of his landscapes and figurative works.

About the artist:
Wai Ming, was born in Canton, South China on November 11, 1938, the son of a school master with nine children. Extremely poor as a child, he was raised in Hong Kong enduring many hardships amidst a chaotic environment of war and refugee settlements. Wai Ming's love for art flourished and he developed his drawing techniques without any art education, just painting what he saw. In the 1960s, Ming found representation in Hong Kong and also took the unusual step of opening his own gallery to display his work in. His primary interest being to capture images of life in fishing villages, or 'fish-folk', who have retained traditional Chinese culture, his work was at home with the sensibilities of many art buyers in Hong Kong. Crossing the ocean in his mid-30s, Wai Ming arrived in San Francisco from Hong Kong in 1974. There, he experienced initial resistance from galleries and the official art world for a variety of reasons, but was ultimately embraced by dealer Jack Swanson...

Artist: Beniamino Bufano (1889-1970)
Title: Laura
Year: 1970
Medium: Lithograph
Image size: 18 x 12.25 inches
Sight size: 19.5 x 13.5 inches.
Framed size: 27 x 21 inches
Signature: Signed, lower right
Edition: 125. This one: 83/125
Condition: Very good
Frame: Framed in black lacquer frame, black mat. Frame in good condition.
This fine lithograph is by Beniamino Bufano (1889-1970), a well-known artist in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Museo Italo-Americano has this work in their permanent collection and indicates that it was pulled in 1970 at he Bank Street Atelier in New York in 1970. The print is in very good condition. The frame is in good condition with some light scratches.
Beniamino Benvenuto Bufano was born in San-Fele, Italy on Oct. 14, 1889. At age three Bufano's family brought him to NYC where he spent his childhood and was educated by private tutors. He studied at the ASL in NYC from 1913-15, the pupil of James L. Fraser, Herbert Adams, and Paul Manship. He came to San Francisco in 1915 to work on a sculpture for the PPIE. For awhile he worked in the studio of coppersmith Dirk van Erp. He then traveled extensively for four years in France, Italy, India, and China. After returning to San Francisco in 1921, he remained there the rest of his life except for visits to the Orient and Europe. Always a radical, he lost his teaching position at San Francisco Institute of Art in 1923 because he was too modern for the conservative faculty. He later taught at UC Berkeley and the CCAC (1964-65). Henry Miller wrote of him, "He will outlive our civilization and probably be better known, better understood, both as a man and artist, five thousand years hence." His work, simple in style and monumental in scale, includes smoothly rounded animals in granite and icons sheathed in stainless steel. Only five feet tall, Bufano was a controversial, free spirit until his death in San Francisco on Aug. 16, 1970. Member: SFAA; NSS; American Artists Congress.
