{"product_id":"gianni-bertini-senza-titolo","title":"Gianni Bertini - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e The aesthetic of Gianni Bertini's work straddles Pop Art and the poetics of the object, graphics and painting. Indeed, his paintings and graphic works, similar to Mec Art, are inspired by a fascination with mechanics and new technologies. In his artistic practice, therefore, technology itself becomes a work of art, recontextualized by the artist. At the same time, all this presupposes a meditation on the languages ​​of mass communication, such as photography and advertising graphics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis work showcases Gianni Bertini's characteristically ironic and dynamic inspiration, based on the fusion of painting with graphic and photographic reproduction. The mechanical, technological object—the racing tire—is elevated to a work of art in a vivid, deliberately illusory pictorial reproduction. At the same time, it is contextualized within the concreteness of reality through photographic collage. In this way, Bertini moves seamlessly between abstraction and reality, playing with media languages ​​in an aesthetic fully aligned with Pop Art and the poetics of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGianni Bertini (Pisa, 1922 – Caen, 2010) was an Italian artist active in painting, graphic design, and visual poetry. A graduate in mathematics from the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, he was an exponent of Informal painting, a movement to which he introduced the so-called \"bertinization,\" a mechanization of the pictorial gesture, akin to Mechanical Art (or Mec Art) theorized by French critic Pierre Restany. In Mec Art, painting was transcended, and artists engaged with the mechanical images emerging from the new media that were spreading in the new society: television, magazines, and cinema. These images were captured using the emulsion technique, then transferred to canvas and mixed with paint, using photography as the most appropriate medium to represent the profound iconographic changes in the age of images. The first Mec Art exhibition in Italy was at the Galleria Blu in Milan in 1966, curated by Pierre Restany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galante Giorgio Teresio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218699989378,"sku":"GGAL004","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/4_12deccb5-c429-409f-8ebb-4738cefeb006.jpg?v=1768475782","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gianni-bertini-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
