{"product_id":"aligi-sassu-senza-titolo-20","title":"Aligi Sassu - Roses in the Sun","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers as an independent subject began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world, as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a means of interpreting reality. In this work, artist Aligi Sassu contextualizes the floral subject in a genre scene, allowing him to develop a study of the female figure (another subject dear to him) and the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe painting technique employed by Aligi Sassu in this painting takes on a distinct freshness and spontaneous execution. This owes much to the artist's skill, who manages to construct the representation with a rapid and concise touch, while maintaining narrative clarity and concreteness of form. Even in this subject, which focuses on the exaltation of the vase of flowers, the great dynamism of Aligi Sassu's pictorial style remains unchanged; the entire composition is indeed lively and extremely vibrant. Even the choice of colors takes on decidedly expressionist overtones, with the stark contrast offered by the yellows of the petals and the woman's hair, the intense blue of the water, and the azure of the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAligi Sassu, born in Milan in 1912 and died in 2000, was a painter and sculptor. His painting focused primarily on the representation of movement and physical strength, which is why the subject of a man on horseback was always congenial to him. In the late 1970s, he and Bruno Munari drafted the pictorial manifesto \"Dynamism and Muscular Reform,\" which called for a return to anti-naturalistic forms in a dynamic sense. Much of his painting, moreover, is inspired by Delacroix and his struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castellani Daniele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217849430402,"sku":"DCAS0007","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/ALIGI-SASSU-copia.jpg?v=1768468823","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/aligi-sassu-senza-titolo-20","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
