{"product_id":"dova-senza-titolo","title":"Gianni Dova - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work draws on an Informal aesthetic language. The devastation wrought by World War II left a profound mark on Western civilization, which in the visual arts also resulted in an inability to communicate. For some artists, this challenge led to a complete rejection of any visual language, resulting in the birth of Informal Art. The various Informal movements are certainly connected to American Abstract Expressionism, especially with regard to the gestural component, but they go further in their rejection of any figurative element, even geometric. Their exploration focuses instead on the material or gesture with which they compose their works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGianni Dova's artistic output has constantly evolved throughout his long career, and his research has led him to explore various languages, from Spatialism to Nuclear Painting. In this lithograph in particular, the artist achieves a complete Informal aesthetic, losing all contact with phenomenal reality and allowing his perception and knowledge of the world to be definitively transformed into pictorial gesture. Dova's gesture, however, does not manifest itself, as in most Abstract Expressionist movements, in nervous and agitated strokes or in smears and drips. Instead, he prefers to create constructions born from the combination of different chromatic fields, which, in their fragmented rhythm, provide no point of reference for the composition. They are organisms that are simultaneously biological and mechanical, yet transcend any formal reference, translating in the purest manner what the painter sees and feels. From a technical point of view, it is noteworthy how Gianni Dova's painting manages to create almost marble-like surfaces in the distribution of the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGianni Dova was born in Rome in 1925 and died in Pisa in 1991. He moved to Milan at sixteen and attended the Brera Art School. He later began associating with the artists who gathered around the magazine Corrente, published by Ernesto Treccani, and in 1946 he endorsed the manifesto \"Beyond Guernica.\" The following year, he joined the Spatialist Movement, signing several of its manifestos. He later joined the Nuclear Painting movement with Enrico Baj and Sergio Dangelo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flavio Giranzani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218104594818,"sku":"fgir003","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_9303_0b0d45e4-4b55-4317-9ca0-89cd2f531c69.jpg?v=1768471167","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/dova-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
