About the Item

Agostino Morandin Morago Italian, born 1947 Opera No. 23 Oil on canvas 31 ⅝ by 31 ⅝ in, w/ frame 32 ½ by 32 ½ in Dated 1994 verso Inventory Number: 01865 Agostino Morandin Morago was born in an old country house in Fontanelle, a hamlet in the Venetian plain. He attended grammar school, then the Academia di Belle Arti in Venice before pursuing work in painting, graphic design, advertising, stage design, and engraving. In the 1960s his work took him across Europe and into Africa, Asia, and America. He also began developing his unique style as a painter. In the 1970s he began teaching, accepting professorships at the UNESCO School in Paris and La Sapienza University in Rome. He later worked as an arts consultant for the College of Architecture at the University of Kentucky, and for the city of Treviso in Italy. In Brussels in 1994 Morago was chosen from 1500 artists to be the “sole representative of Italian art” at the new Council headquarters of the European Union, where he painted large-scale works that do great honour to Italy and to Art. In 1996 he exhibited with César, Vedova and Kabakov under the aegis of UNESCO in Paris, and later, at the invitation of Prince Rainier, at the Sporting Club d’Hiver in Monte Carlo. In 2025 a permanent collection celebrating Morago’s career was installed in Motta di Livenza. Morago favored an anti-naturalistic use of color, “...releasing it from the burden of having to convey a perception of reality and according it complete expressive autonomy.” Morago was a restless spirit, and travel was a constant and a source of inspiration throughout his career. “I travel and I paint: what I am looking for is a sense of spiritual recreation through the uniquely Venetian experience of colour …” He continues to paint and remains a towering figure in the Venetian artistic tradition.

A painting by Jae Kon Park. ""Untitled"" is an abstract painting, oil on canvas in greens and oranges by Korean, Post-War artist Jae Kon Park. The artwork is signed in the lower left, ""Jae Kon Park, 92"". Born in South Korea, Park Jae Kon (1937 – 1993) attended Seoul National University of Fine Art. Not long after graduating, Park Jae Kon left Korea with his wife and two daughters. He and his family traveled widely, eventually settling in Argentina. He spent the rest of his life in South America, traveling to various regions and using the landscape and cultural history as inspiration for his artworks. As an artist, his output spanned various media, styles, and subject matter, producing work that ranged from gestural abstract expressionism and typographic woodcuts. Throughout his career, travel continued to inspire him. Park Jae Kon created abstract landscapes that reflect the colors and light of the Andes Mountains and geometric abstractions that incorporate iconography from the South America’s ancient civilizations. Park Jae Kon himself found a deep spiritual resonance with South American and Indian cultural history, and his work captures this personal connection to Aztec, Incan, and Hindu iconography. In his later work, Park Jae Kon attempted to reconcile his Korean identity with his adopted homeland of South America. These works often combine the colors and patterns of ancient Incan and Aztec art...
