{"product_id":"ennio-morlotti-nudo","title":"Ennio Morlotti - Nude","description":"\u003cp\u003e The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also been a central theme in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis work is part of a series in which Morlotti, unlike the abstraction of works that can be classified as \"Late Naturalism,\" does not adopt an informal aesthetic, but rather focuses on investigating the structure of his subjects, whether flowers or human figures, as in this case. Indeed, we can see how, even in this nude, Ennio Morlotti enhances the subject's plasticity, portraying it with a bold, decisive line and placing it in a complex, three-dimensional space. Equally complex, however, is the execution, which brings us back to a thoroughly contemporary character in Morlotti's artistic practice. The linework is decidedly choppy, charged with existential vibrations that permeate the subject and the space in which it interacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eEnnio Morlotti (Lecco 1910-Milan 1992). In 1937, during a brief stay in Paris, he encountered Cézanne, Fauvism, and the expressionism of Soutine and Georges Rouault. At the Paris International Exhibition, he was deeply impressed by Picasso and his Guernica. Upon returning to Italy, he moved to Milan and enrolled at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. He then painted his first works. In 1939, he joined the group of painters of the magazine Corrente with Ernesto Treccani, Renato Guttuso, Renato Birolli, and Bruno Cassinari. After a second stay in Paris in 1947, he participated in the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti and, after the split between Cassinari and Birolli, joined Lionello Venturi's Gruppo degli Otto, founded in 1952 and dissolved in 1954. Representative of a sort of informal and lyrical naturalism, his favorite subjects are landscapes, still lifes, and nudes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lepore Ennio (EURO 20000)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218467893634,"sku":"ELEP001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_6051.jpg?v=1768473603","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ennio-morlotti-nudo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
