{"product_id":"francesco-gentilini-senza-titolo","title":"Franco Gentilini - Girl with Birds","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortraiture 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFranco Gentilini's style is the fruit of personal research that has led to the creation of his own world with surreal, fairy-tale overtones. In constructing his characters, Franco Gentilini draws inspiration from a fanciful Middle Ages or a fantasy dimension, where subjects are the product of colorful synthesis. Formally, this research is based on a high-level graphic elegance that marries perfectly with the artist's boundless imagination. This is particularly evident in his lithographs, which display the use of bold lines to delineate figures and objects. In Franco Gentilini's Surrealist Expressionism, the figures have a significant plastic connotation, but their individual features are eliminated, leaving them almost like mannequins, automatons moving with mechanical gestures. The sense of alienation is further accentuated by the artist's creation of a complex space, not univocal, but constructed from multiple perspective lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFranco Gentilini was born in Faenza in 1909 and passed away in Rome in 1981. He studied his city's ceramic tradition and later completed his artistic training in Bologna. In 1929, he moved to Rome, where he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts. His art, fairytale-like, dreamlike, ironic, and colorful, was expressed not only in painting, but also in graphic design, set design, and book illustration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pasqualini Francesco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218036175234,"sku":"FPAS001","price":600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Foto-fronte-opera-1.jpg?v=1768470372","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/francesco-gentilini-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
