Gianni Longinotti - Untitled

Portraiture 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.

In this work, artist Gianni Longinotti, using only the pen, creates a vibrant and extraordinarily realistic work. The physiognomic precision with which the subject is rendered is remarkable, as is the plastic and volumetric consistency. The drawing displays exceptional precision and richness of detail. Note, in this regard, the excellent naturalism of the praying mantis on the left.

Gianni Langinotti was a Paduan painter born in 1927 and died in 2007. He initially adhered to the neorealist movement that was widespread in the postwar period. His subjects focused on civic and social issues, to which were also added biographical episodes of the artist. His success came especially in the 1960s, when he held numerous exhibitions thanks to collaborations with various galleries, including international ones.
