{"product_id":"manlio-bacosi-senza-titolo-4-2","title":"Manlio Bacosi - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis work is part of a series of \"artist's proofs\" in which Manlio Bacosi explored his drawing technique, enhanced by hand-painted watercolors. This allows us to appreciate a Bacosi who is more grounded in reality and formal values ​​than in his more typical abstract work. The composition thus achieves a strong rendering of the subject (whether a human figure or a vase of flowers) even through the simple formal means of the graphic line. Indeed, the artist needs only a simple, loose, sinuous stroke to convey the fullness of the volumes onto the paper and enhance the figures with a sculptural effect. In some areas, subtle nuances of diluted color are added to enhance the sensation of softness. Unlike most of Bacosi's work, these proofs lack the usual abstract and dreamlike characterization, instead displaying the traits of a highly refined illustrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eManlio Bacosi was a painter originally from Perugia, born in 1921 and died in 1998. He trained under Leo Ravazzi and Gerardo Dottori. Beginning in 1947, he was featured in numerous exhibitions not only in Italy but also abroad. Among the most important are the 1972 retrospective in Todi and solo exhibitions in Recanati for the Leopardi Festival and in Montecatini in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mirella Ciuccetti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218147619202,"sku":"MCIU002","price":700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Manlio-Bacosi-2.jpg?v=1768471479","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/manlio-bacosi-senza-titolo-4-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
