{"product_id":"bruno-cassinari-senza-titolo","title":"Bruno Cassinari - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Still Life\" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the \"Still Life\" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis graphic work is a perfect example of the artistic language of Piacenza-born artist Bruno Cassinari when he tackles the subject of still life. He begins with a synthesis of forms that is undoubtedly a product of the Expressionist avant-garde. The objects' volumes are reduced to the essential and constructed on a two-dimensional surface. The subject comes to life through the sheer vitality of the incisive, nervous, and elusive stroke, expressing restlessness and existential vibrations. The objects, laid out on the panel, again due to the complexity of the drawing, find themselves in a complex, non-unique space. This is the expressionistic strength of Bruno Cassinari's artistic practice, in his ability to enrich the image with meaning and life despite a reduction in form and volume. Furthermore, this work is dominated by a strong geometric sense in his exploration of reality, clearly influenced by Cubism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eBruno Cassinari, Piacenza 1912 – Milan 1992. He trained first at the Piacenza School of Art and later at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. In 1939, he joined the Corrente group along with Guttuso, Migneco, Vedova, Birolli, Treccani, and Morlotti. In 1941, Elio Vittorini recognized his talent and curated his first solo exhibition. All his work is characterized by an expressionist synthesis combined with a reflection on Cubist deconstruction. In 1949, he moved to Antibes, where he met Pablo Picasso, Chagalle, Matisse, and Braque.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perfetti Paolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218217382274,"sku":"PPER002","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/bruno-cassinari-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
