{"product_id":"gino-scarpa-croce-senza-titolo","title":"Luigi Scarpa Croce - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e The 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 research focuses instead on the material from which their works are composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eLuigi Scarpa Croce's informal art develops through a perceptive exercise. The artist begins by acquiring sensory data and reworks it according to his highly personal sensibility. Thus, each composition almost definitively loses contact with phenomenal reality, translating into a pure transposition of matter and gesture. Luigi Scarpa Croce seeks to capture the impression of the reality around him, but this leads him to completely disintegrate form and translate his perception directly into pictorial gesture. In this painting, the artist reveals a material development of color even in the third dimension. From an aesthetic standpoint, the composition is enormously impactful: from the dark, decontextualized space emerges a halo of light that seems to pulsate with life, evoking the meaning of this painting as a cosmic conceptualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eLuigi Scarpa Croce was born in 1901 in Venice, where he died in 1967. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 1923, having studied under Ettore Tito. Around 1925 and 1926, Scarpa Croce participated in exhibitions at Cà Pesaro and the Venice International Art Biennale, where he continued to exhibit on an alternating basis until 1950. In 1930, he was appointed artistic consultant to the First Rome Quadrennial. He was extensively active in the glass sector in Murano, as a designer and technician from 1940 to 1942 and again between 1950 and 1956. He exhibited in almost all the Bevilacqua La Masa group exhibitions from 1926 to 1957. In 2010, the exhibition “Settepittori Settemondi. La Bohème di Palazzo Carminati” was held at the Torre Massimiliana di Sant'Erasmo, Venice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chiaramida Elia Barbara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217951142274,"sku":"ECHI003","price":700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-4812.jpg?v=1768469828","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gino-scarpa-croce-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
