“Boudoir,” Susana Fabiani (Argentine), c.1970s hand-pulled lithograph, 26x20 in, image 20x14 in, signed & numbered AP, romantic realism.
“Boudoir” by Susana Fabiani is a rare, hand-drawn, limited-edition artist’s proof lithograph showcasing the Argentine artist’s ethereal romantic realism—lush pastel tones, sculptural shading, and a serene, dreamlike atmosphere. Highly collectible and sourced from the retired Mitch Morse Gallery (NYC), this vintage print remains in excellent, frame-ready condition.
Artwork Description
“Boudoir” is a quintessential example of Susana Fabiani’s romantic realist style, a distinctive visual language she developed over years of experimentation with lithographic drawing, tonal layering, and atmospheric shading. The composition depicts a young woman adjusting her hair while gazing into a hand mirror, her figure rendered in soft, velvety flesh tones that contrast beautifully with her warm, floral, diaphanous gown. Fabiani’s sculptural, cross-hatched background creates an illusion of depth reminiscent of classical draftsmanship, while the still-life fruit arrangement introduces symbolic abundance—common in her feminine interior scenes.
The lithograph balances realism with poetic stylization: subtle color accents, delicate contour lines, and a controlled palette create an enveloping sense of calm and contemplative beauty. Signed by the artist and designated an A.P. (Artist’s Proof), this print carries increased collectible significance. The work embodies the peacefulness, mystique, and refined tonal harmony for which Fabiani became admired across Latin American and North American galleries.
Artist Biography
Susana Fabiani was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she received formal artistic training at the National School of Fine Arts, the School of Ceramics, and the National Academy of Theatre, where she studied stage and costume design. Her multi-disciplinary education strongly informed her attention to fabric, lighting, and spatial staging—elements that later defined her romantic interior figurative works.
Fabiani’s early influences include Argentine modernists, contemporary European painters, and Pre-Columbian forms, which she researched extensively during travels. A formative period occurred between 1968–1969, when she spent time in France, Italy, Holland, Mexico, and Peru, studying avant-garde Latin American painters active in Paris and conducting cultural research on indigenous artistic traditions. These experiences enriched her visual vocabulary and deepened her interest in symbolism, texture, and expressive realism.
Her career includes numerous group exhibitions beginning in the 1960s, including the Museum of Fine Arts (Avellaneda), Young Painters Salon (Santa Fe), Museum of Modern Art (Asunción, Paraguay), and prominent international programs such as a major Latin American group show at Columbia University, New York (1970). Fabiani also exhibited in Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, São Paulo, and multiple venues throughout Argentina.
Her solo exhibitions spanned prestigious galleries in Buenos Aires, Montreal, and New York, demonstrating her cross-continental appeal. By the late 1960s and 1970s, Fabiani was represented widely in galleries across the United States—including New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska—and her works entered private collections throughout Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, France, Canada, and the United States.
Fabiani’s mature style is often described as “ethereal romantic realism,” characterized by soft pastel tonalities, smooth modeling of the human form, sculpted graphite-like backgrounds, and a tranquil emotional register. Her artworks frequently explore feminine interiority, quiet rituals, and reflective moments, rendered with careful attention to shadow, atmosphere, and subtle narrative gesture.
Little is publicly documented regarding her later life, but existing records affirm her continued circulation in North American galleries through the 1980s and her longstanding presence in private international art collections.
