Marco Novati - Untitled

Animal depictions in art have ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era.

Marco Novati's drawings are extremely interesting for appreciating a less formal side of his artistic practice. What is particularly remarkable is how, with just a few strokes, the artist manages to bring his subjects to life. Through a few rapid graphic strokes, Novati imbues his depictions with great vitality and freshness. The subjects also possess good visual detail, thanks to the use of subtle shading that indicates their plasticity.

Marco Novati was a Venetian painter, born in 1895 and died in 1975. Primarily self-taught, he trained in the studio of Emilio Paggiaro. Facing financial hardship due to family problems, he developed his dark realism. He had numerous group and solo exhibitions, some posthumously. He participated in several editions of the Venice Biennale.
