Attributed to Filippo De Pisis - Untitled

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The work is characterized by an artistic language that takes Impressionism to its extreme, seeking to evoke images through a lyricism of memory. Filippo De Pisis is a true master of color, but he also possesses the ability to breathe life into his subjects through his graphic style. His touch is cursive, yet at the same time rich in vibrations and existential thrills. In this sense, Filippo De Pisis's evolution of Impressionist technique should be interpreted as the poetry of life. Each stroke simultaneously captures physiognomic details and psychological vibrations.

Filippo De Pisis was a painter from Ferrara, born in 1896 and died in Brugherio in 1956. He began studying in his hometown, but later trained in Rome, Venice, Milan, Paris, and London. He met Carrà and De Chirico and became interested in Metaphysical Art. Then, in Paris, new stylistic horizons opened up, and he developed his own personal, syncopated, and fragmented language.
