Pino Buttitta - Lady with a Hat

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 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, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.

The female figure is central to Pino Buttitta's artistic production, and he has interpreted it with vaguely dreamlike and symbolist overtones. This figure, too, appears in its concrete, square volumes and Art Deco elegance, with clear references to Tamara De Lempicka. However, Pino Buttitta's pictorial approach is extremely nuanced and light, creating an ethereal plasticity. The Sicilian artist's palette, which favors light, pastel hues, also aligns with this aesthetic.

Pino Buttitta was a painter from Palermo, born in 1815 and died in 1997. His paintings focused on the female figure, with a substantial output of nudes and portraits. His style combines clear Art Deco influences with a strong dreamlike and symbolist component.
