{"product_id":"piero-tredici-senza-titolo","title":"Piero Tredici - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortraiture 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\n \u003cp\u003eThe human figure is central to Piero Tredici's artistic production, in an original exploration divided between the exaltation of plasticity and expressionistic deformations. Indeed, as we can also see in this etching, Piero Tredici's subjects are characterized by a swollen plasticity that expands the figures, dilating their physicality and features in an almost caricatural manner. The result is an expressive exaltation of great visual impact, especially in works like this one, in which Tredici remains faithful to the rendering of sensory data. Thus, this expansion and deformation is fueled by the composition itself, in which the figure, cropped and brought close, seems unable to be contained within the space of the work. The action of light, moreover, further enhances the plasticity, shading them only slightly with an elegant hatching resulting from the artist's extraordinary technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003ePiero Tredici was born in 1928 and passed away in 2011. From 1940 to 1943, he attended the sculpture school at the Porta Romana Art Institute in Florence as a student of Maestro Bruno Innocenti. He was fascinated by the marble sculptures of those artisans who, custodians of a nearly thousand-year-old technique, carved the gravestones and statuettes for the local municipal cemetery of Sesto Fiorentino with uncommon skill and expertise. He subsequently spent several years working as a plastic artist in several ceramic workshops, then flourishing in the Sesto Fiorentino area, putting all his knowledge and skills to good use. He later discovered the paintings of Bacon and Picasso.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dario Sarti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218077954434,"sku":"dsar002","price":360.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_8772.jpg?v=1768470913","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/piero-tredici-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
