{"product_id":"aligi-sassu-senza-titolo-24","title":"Aligi Sassu - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe subject of the equestrian monument, or the man on horseback, has very ancient origins. It dates back to the classical world, the earliest example of which is the \"Rampin Knight,\" and it had a fundamental political importance for Roman art. Generally, these are sculptures in the round, but there are also cases where this subject appears on painted supports. The theme of the man on horseback has pervaded the entire history of art, not only Western art, and has become a subject of research for contemporary artists such as Marino Marini, Arturo Martini, and Aligi Sassu.\u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e \nThis work is a striking example of Aligi Sassu's pictorial production, which, while remaining figurative, adopts anti-naturalistic forms. In this work too, we can see how the subjects are characterized by expressive deformations that accentuate their dynamism and physical effort. All the lines of the composition are designed to convey to the viewer a sense of frenetic movement and strength. The choice of color also contributes to this goal, which, in turn, does not respect natural truth but is used expressively, with an absolute predominance of red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAligi Sassu, born in Milan in 1912 and died in 2000, was a painter and sculptor. In painting, his efforts were primarily focused 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bertolozzi Lalla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218648936834,"sku":"LBER004","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PHOTO-2023-04-27-13-14-48-1.jpg?v=1768475276","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/aligi-sassu-senza-titolo-24","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
