{"product_id":"antonello-rizza-universo-2","title":"Antonello Rizza - Universe","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThemes related to astronomy or science fiction in art can, in many cases, be traced back to the typical aesthetics of Surrealist art, where the existence of other worlds or parallel dimensions can be connected to our subconscious. However, when science fiction becomes a celebration of technology, it's impossible not to identify its origins in Futurism, which made the celebration of progress one of its main themes. Coinciding with the development of the science fiction genre in cinema, around the 1960s, some painters also began to explore this theme in art, such as the celebrated Chesley Bonestell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eReturning to the surrealist aesthetic, we can see how Antonello Rizza's paintings dedicated to the theme of the Universe always present a paradoxically hyperrealist style. The science-fiction landscape is depicted in a completely objective manner, avoiding overly atmospheric and pictorial effects. The view is shaken by uncontrollable and dynamic forces, with the only fixed points being the planetary spheres. The landscape is traversed by flickering beams of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Antonello Rizza was born in Noto in 1926 and passed away in Rome in 2012. Nicknamed \"The Painter of the Universe,\" his paintings focused primarily on astrophysics, which he interpreted with a hyperrealist figurative style. His name appeared in the Bolaffi Catalogue in 1975 and 1978. A permanent exhibition of his works has been installed in the municipal library of Noto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peretti Maria Letizia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215311090050,"sku":"MLPE006","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/6-1_ba61a9e4-8071-4650-a112-bc0508df7286.jpg?v=1768425454","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/antonello-rizza-universo-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
