{"product_id":"aldo-gentilini-senza-titolo","title":"Aldo Gentilini - Untitled","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe work is an abstract composition. \"Abstract\" derives from the Latin term \"abstrahere,\" which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and pure colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAldo Gentilini's pictorial language aims to transfigure phenomenal reality into a system of pure lines and colors. The lines, in particular, dictate the compositional rhythm of the work, with their broken, mixtilinear progression. In this way, they leave a trace for understanding the work, a residual connection with the sensory world. In this case, however, this is truly stripped back to the essentials compared to his other works. There is a conscious and bold regression to almost infantile forms of communication. The color scheme is also quite unusual, featuring brown hues compared to the aggressiveness of many of Gentilini's works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1912 and passed away in Volpeglino in 1982. Self-taught, he took several philosophy courses and, for a time, lived in a monastery. His life was always one of isolation. He was a great admirer of Saint Francis and, conversely, an opponent of the art market. For this reason, he sold his works for very little money. He exhibited in numerous group and solo shows in Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, America, Australia, Germany, and Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riva Antonella Iolanda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212928397698,"sku":"ARIV002","price":400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Gentilini.jpg?v=1768407660","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/aldo-gentilini-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
