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 female figure is an 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 female figure has also been a central figure in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eBoth in terms of the subject matter and the execution method, we can say that the execution of this painting reveals a certain naive attitude on the part of the artist. The desire to achieve a childishness in the representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing the artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence. Novella Parigini's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. This is expressed through a loose technique that resolves the subjects with a few, quick but incisive chalk or pastel strokes. The use of this particular technique gives the figures an ethereal consistency, almost as if they were vaporous and ephemeral apparitions. The use of a black background also contributes to achieving this effect, allowing the chromatic nuances of the charcoal to stand out more, thus accentuating the fusion between the subject and the space in which it interacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe figure of Novella Parigini (1921-1993) differs markedly from the conventional naïve artist, who is typically a social outcast, if not outright marginalized. Parigini's life, however, is characterized precisely by the high society of her experiences, both in Rome and Paris. And it is in this sense, then, that her pursuit of pure and simple formal values ​​in her artistic career should be interpreted. First and foremost, the hedonism typical of the Sienese aristocracy from which Parigini descended comes into play, making painting a game in itself, a playful exercise to be practiced with a refined and fascinating childishness. But art, for Parigini, is also a reflection of her free, unconventional life: hence her desire to pursue pure aesthetic canons that break all ties with the past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saccomanno Guzzetti Giuseppe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218596016514,"sku":"GSAC001","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/20230316_180459-scaled.jpg?v=1768474647","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/novella-parigini-senza-titolo-44","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
