“Sea Breeze,” Susana Fabiani (Argentine), c.1970s hand-pulled lithograph, 26×22 in, signed, A.P. personalized, romantic realism coastal scene.
“Sea Breeze” is a tender, hand-drawn Artist’s Proof lithograph by Susana Fabiani, capturing a serene moment between mother and child along a pastel-toned shoreline. This rare A.P. impression, personalized by the artist, comes from the Mitch Morse Gallery archives (NYC) and remains in excellent vintage condition—an exquisite example of Fabiani’s romantic realism and emotional subtlety.
Artwork Description
“Sea Breeze” reflects Susana Fabiani’s mastery of emotional narrative through soft light, gentle color transitions, and poetic composition. The scene portrays a mother reclining with her young daughter on a sandy shoreline, the pair enveloped in a quiet tenderness that exemplifies Fabiani’s recurring themes of motherhood, intimacy, and the beauty of quiet human connection.
The lithograph’s delicately modulated palette—rose, seafoam green, soft yellows, and muted sands—creates a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of watercolor washes. The sky’s expansive pastel cloud formations echo the gentle emotional rhythm of the scene. Fabiani’s refined linework, controlled shading, and sculptural treatment of drapery reveal her technical training in both fine arts and theatrical design.
Placed beside them are a woven picnic basket and a few scattered fruits—symbolic markers of leisure, nourishment, and familial warmth. The personalized inscription along the lower margin enhances the work’s intimacy and provides additional provenance value. Hand-signed and marked A.P., this Artist’s Proof represents a small, highly collectible subset of Fabiani’s editions.
“Sea Breeze” embodies the calm, contemplative emotional world for which Fabiani is known—an artwork that blends figurative realism with lyrical storytelling.
Artist Biography
Susana Fabiani was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she pursued her formal education at the National School of Fine Arts, the School of Ceramics, and the National Academy of Theatre, specializing in stage and costume design. Her training in theatrical visualization profoundly shaped her approach to composition, fabric rendering, human gesture, and atmospheric lighting—elements central to her romantic realist style.
Fabiani emerged within the vibrant Argentine art scene of the mid-20th century, influenced by modernist figurative painters, classical European draftsmanship, and Latin American narrative traditions. Her works frequently explore feminine interiority, mother-child relationships, serenity, and emotionally resonant everyday rituals.
International research played a critical role in her artistic development. In 1968, she traveled through France, Italy, and Holland, studying contemporary painters and engaging with the avant-garde Latin American artistic circle in Paris. In 1969, she traveled to Mexico and Peru, researching Pre-Columbian art and teaching in Mérida on the Yucatán Peninsula. These cross-cultural encounters broadened her symbolic vocabulary and deepened her tonal and compositional sophistication.
Fabiani’s exhibition history reflects her international reach. She participated in group shows at major institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts (Avellaneda), Young Painters’ Salon (Santa Fe), Museum of Modern Art (Asunción), Argentinian Painters & Sculptors (Montevideo), and the significant Latin American Artists Exhibition at Columbia University, New York (1970). She also exhibited widely in Brazil—Curitiba, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro.
Her solo exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Montreal, and New York solidified her reputation across the Americas. Her artworks entered private collections in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, France, Canada, and the U.S., and she was represented by galleries in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Fabiani’s mature artistic voice—often described as “ethereal romantic realism”—is defined by velvety tonal transitions, luminous skin tones, sculptural backgrounds, and an overarching quietude. Her images are a blend of intimacy and emotional clarity, reflecting her dedication to portraying the inner lives of women, families, and contemplative spaces.
