Surrealist watercolor etching by Gordon Farghetter, 76 x 63 cm, in a polished brass frame. Gordon Faggetter (1948 – 2020) was born in Surrey, UK, and from childhood harbored a great passion for painting. He moved to Brighton with his family, where he stayed until 1965 when, with two friends, he began playing drums and formed the group Cyan Three (the name derives from the fact that they were three boys with blue eyes). The Cyan Three arrived in Italy in 1967, selected and signed by the legendary Alberigo Crocetta, to accompany Patty Pravo's performances at the Piper Club. Later, the group accompanied Mia Martini. Despite his success as a musician, Gordon Faggetter's love for painting did not wane, and he continued to paint both in oil and watercolor. He created some of the most beautiful album covers for some artists of the period, such as Patty Pravo and De Gregori, whose album "Camel" is universally known as "La Pecora" referring precisely to the cover design executed by Gordon. A series of prestigious collective and personal exhibitions held in the early seventies consecrated him as one of the most sensitive contemporary painters. In 1973, Gordon settled in Rome (then definitively in Campagnano Romano) and decided to abandon music and devote himself full-time to painting. Purchase and booking info: 3772652318 Euro 380
