{"product_id":"harry-jelinek-senza-titolo-11","title":"Harry Jelinek - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortraiture 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eArtist Harry Jelinek can be considered a worthy successor to the Expressionist avant-garde. He seeks to transcend what is perceived by the senses to extract the true essence of reality and communicate it on canvas in a vibrant and dramatic manner. For this reason, nature, whether a landscape or the human figure, is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with an almost brutal reduction. The surface is completely two-dimensional, with no concessions to spatial depth. The brushstrokes delineate the forms in a tormented and nervous manner. Color is used according to an emotional and spiritual interpretation, without any connection to reality. This exercise in synthesis is so advanced that it almost places Jelinek's works within an informal aesthetic. Indeed, one might even call them brutalist, given the vehemence of the painterly gesture with which the artist creates his works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eHarry Jelineck was an artist of Czech origin, born in Vlašim in 1905 and died in Guarene d'Alba, Italy, in 1986. The son of a well-known Austrian doctor, he was forced by his father to complete a classical education and enroll at university. In 1919, during a trip to Paris, he met George Braque, Pablo Picasso, and Amedeo Modigliani, and was impressed by the Italian's painting. After experimenting with Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism, he formulated new theories such as Quintalism and Perceptibilism and their application in painting. He held solo exhibitions and participated in group shows and art exhibitions in Italy and major European cities, receiving prestigious prizes and awards, including the Diplomatic Press Gold Medal in 1975. the Europa Prize at the Campidoglio in Rome, the 1975 Europa International Academy Award for Art in London, and many others. His works are held in public and private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veronese Roberto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218657030530,"sku":"RVEN006","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Jelinek-fronte-94-x-70-scaled.jpg?v=1768475390","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/harry-jelinek-senza-titolo-11","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
