{"product_id":"manlio-sarra-astratto","title":"Manlio Sarra - Abstract","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe work is an abstract composition. \"Abstract\" derives from the Latin term \"abstrahere,\" which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eManlio Sarra's pictorial language aims to transfigure phenomenal reality into a system of pure lines, shapes, and colors. The shapes, in particular, dictate the compositional rhythm of the work, with their overlapping and movement in space. In this way, they leave a trace, a residual connection with the perceptible world, and at the same time, divide the surface of the painting into zones. These zones are covered by solid color and bright, contrasting hues. Manlio Sarra's style demonstrates a strong connection to the playfulness of Paul Klee's magic squares and, at the same time, the rationality of Mondrian's neoconstructivism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eManlio Sarra (Monte San Giovanni Campano, 1909 – Rome, 1986) was an Italian painter. In the late 1920s, he moved to Rome, graduated from the Art School, and won a scholarship to study at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he graduated under the guidance of Maestro Umberto Coromaldi, a leading figure of the \"XXV della Campagna Romana\" group. He participated in international exhibitions, including the XXVIII Venice Biennale and all the Roman Quadrennials held from 1947 to 1965. After 1945, he held several solo exhibitions in major Italian cities—Rome, Turin, and Milan—as well as in the United States, Switzerland, France, England, and Japan. He created numerous portraits of famous figures in politics, culture, cinema, and theater between the 1950s and 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gentile Vincenzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218511376770,"sku":"VGEN010","price":1440.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/SARRA-GENTILE.jpg?v=1768473853","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/manlio-sarra-astratto","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
