{"product_id":"giuseppe-martinelli-spiaggia","title":"Giuseppe Martinelli - Beach","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work displays a marked expressionist vocation, which emphasizes the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a highly nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brücke movement in Germany. Viareggio-born artist Giuseppe Martinelli, a representative of existential realism, expresses his anxieties precisely through an expressionist stylistic register, in a highly original form that also touches on informalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this work, we can see how painter Giuseppe Martinelli's aesthetic is based on a remarkable synthesis of the subject. The representation is reduced to the essentials in a rather harsh form, composed of angular compositional lines, which hark back to a strongly expressionist aesthetic. The space of the work also appears concentrated, squashed into the foreground, and depth is revealed in an anomalous manner. Consequently, the human figure, which inhabits that narrow space, suffers the same consequences. It appears practically folded in on itself in a gesture of profound meditation. Formally, Giuseppe Martinelli's existentialism is expressed through a complex pictorial style in which a deliberately rough and coarse stroke is nourished by a very dense, at times textured color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Martinelli was born in Viareggio in 1930 and passed away in Milan in 2016. His training and career took place primarily in the Lombardy capital, where he exhibited for the first time in 1958 at the Pagani Gallery. In 1959, he won the Golfo della Spezia painting prize, the 5th Modigliani Prize, and the Suzzara Prize. In 1959, he exhibited at the Penelope Gallery in Rome and at several international events organized by the Rome Quadriennale, such as Contemporary Italian Paintings held in Melbourne and Peintures Italiennes d'Aujourd'Hui, a traveling exhibition that stopped in Damascus, Ankara, Tehran, and Tunis. In 1965-66, he exhibited at the 9th Rome Quadriennale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reggiani Lino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215790027138,"sku":"LREG001","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_20200922_154345-copia-scaled.jpg?v=1768429148","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/giuseppe-martinelli-spiaggia","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
