{"product_id":"augusto-murer-senza-titolo-6-2","title":"Augusto Murer - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e Social themes in art began to gain prominence in the mid-19th century, coinciding with the spread of social questions throughout European societies. The work of painters such as Millet and Daumier, for example, favored subjects related to life in the fields, factory work, or strikes. In Italy, among the first painters to engage deeply with social themes were Pellizza da Volpedo and, in the contemporary era, Renato Guttuso. This silkscreen by Augusto Murer also fits into this trend, and some of his favorite subjects were farmers, depicted through his original and personal artistic language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe silkscreens demonstrate how Augusto Murer's sculptural nature also emerges in his graphic works. In these figures, the artist employs a process of synthesis, using dense hatching to achieve a sculptural chiaroscuro, as if the figure were roughly hewn from stone. The execution is flawless, achieving a supreme level of anatomical naturalism. The expressiveness of the composition also plays on the prevalence of white or diluted opaque color on the background, which interacts with the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Augusto Murer, born in Falcade in 1922 and died in Padua in 1985, was one of the most important Italian sculptors of the second half of the twentieth century. His national success came in 1953, after an exhibition in Milan that received the approval of critic Orio Vergani. His work was often dedicated to themes of civic engagement, stemming from his experience as a partisan, but also to research on human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Massimo Carniello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218136084866,"sku":"MCAR002","price":730.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/senzatitoloAugustoMurer-2.jpg?v=1768471407","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/augusto-murer-senza-titolo-6-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
