{"product_id":"serena-maffia-provocazioni","title":"Serena Maffia - Provocations","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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 nude is the ultimate 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 nude has also been a central theme 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\u003eThe manner in which the figure was created can undoubtedly be described as having an Expressionist influence. The subject is subjected to a process of brutal synthesis: the woman is reduced to her essentials and deformed by her own internal and psychological tensions. This existential tension, the lifeblood of Expressionist language, is also reiterated on a formal level, with a deliberately crude pictorial approach that proceeds through broad brushstrokes laden with dense matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSerena Maffia was born in Calabria in 1979 and is an Italian author.
