Marcello Tommasi - Nude Woman

The human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also played a leading role in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

Marcello Tommasi's entire sculptural production is a continuous research on the human figure, which is interpreted according to different registers
stylistic variations, from the more classical and realistic to more expressive interpretations. In this female figure, Tommasi adheres to a rather classical interpretation, especially in the proposal of a complex and natural twist, in a harmonious and balanced arrangement of the limbs. However, the artist tends to override this balance with some unnaturalistic forcing that slightly deforms the figure, making it more expressive and vibrant with life. The surface of the work, in fact, appears almost trembling and pulsating with existence, and the sculpture itself dissolves into a soft material.

Marcello Tommasi was a sculptor and painter, born in Pietrasanta in 1928 and died in Lido di Camaiore in 2008. Coming from a family of artists, he trained in Pietro Annigoni's studio, which he frequented for ten years, increasingly focusing on sculpture. Tommasi was active primarily between Florence and Paris. His oeuvre is extensive, and many pieces are held in important museums not only in Italy but also abroad (the Cabinet of Drawings and Prints at the , the National Museum in Warsaw, the galleries of modern art in Barcelona, ​​, Piacenza, and the Vatican).
