{"product_id":"giovanni-nonnis-cavalli","title":"Giovanni Nonnis - Horses","description":"\u003cp\u003eA noble animal, a symbol of beauty and harmony, the horse has repeatedly been a prominent subject in the history of art. Since the fourteenth century, its presence has always been obligatory in battle scenes and equestrian monuments, and painters have always found it a challenge to depict it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The stylistic module employed by painter Giovanni Nonnis in this painting is exquisitely expressionist. The space is entirely two-dimensional, and phenomenal reality undergoes an extreme synthesis. Color is treated in compact chromatic zones, for which Nonnis seems to favor earthy tones. The subjects, then, are sketched as simple splashes of color, stripped of their individual connotations. There is a suggestion of an archaic language, typical of Nonnis, as if the work were inspired by the aesthetics of a rock carving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiovanni Nonnis (Nuoro, 1929 – 1975). In the 1950s, he began an experimental journey that developed an archaic figuration with references to the Nuragic world. His artistic practice draws inspiration from the millennia-old roots of Barbagia and embodies a primitive dream world, composed of symbols that refer to the sense of the absolute and are translated into a myriad of details with a barbaric and ancestral flavour. Giovanni Nonnis absorbs the rocky landscape of the Nuoro area and combines it with the strong anti-classical aesthetic and cultural traditions of Barbagia. His pictorial style is almost indifferent to the final result but seems to connect to the union between chaos and the spirit of the place, between the absolute and primitive man's vision of the world: wind, sun, earth, rain, and archaic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbieri Massimo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218694517122,"sku":"MBAR002","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Nonnis-cavalli.jpg?v=1768475708","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/giovanni-nonnis-cavalli","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
