{"product_id":"mino-maccari-volti-2","title":"Mino Maccari - Faces","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Portraiture 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 \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this drawing, Mino Maccari seems to abandon his brutally expressionist style to create a composition closer to nature. Rather, the interpretation of this work can be considered sketchy, revealing an unusual side of Maccari as an artist. The painter, however, sketches these faces with a nervous, very lively line, which undoubtedly has a connection to Maccari's expressionist artistic language. The hatching is also very forceful, delineating large areas of shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMino Maccari was born in Siena in 1898 and died in Rome in 1989. A prominent figure in Italian culture, he was a writer, painter, and journalist. His artistic career flourished especially after World War II. In 1962, he was appointed president of the Accademia di San Luca, and a solo exhibition of his work was held in New York. Mino Maccari produced a vast body of drawings, prints, and watercolors, always characterized by an expressionistic flair for violent drawing and a vibrant pictorial interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Tomassi Carola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211898892674,"sku":"CDET008","price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_4569.jpg?v=1768401970","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/mino-maccari-volti-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
