{"product_id":"sergio-tassi-senza-titolo","title":"Sergio Tassi - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe clown was a popular subject among genre painters of the 1970s and 1980s. Many artists dedicated much of their careers to depicting this theme, Romano Mussolini being a prime example. Typically, the interpretation of this subject is similar for all artists who attempt it: the clown appears with his makeup designed to evoke laughter and hilarity, but instead displays a melancholic expression. This contrast is intended to spark an empathetic dialogue with the viewer. The clown has also been favored by many painters for another formal reason. Indeed, his flamboyant makeup and colorful clothing offer painters a pretext for creating original color harmonies.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis work is a testament to the early figurative phase of Florentine artist Sergio Tassi. In these works, Tassi's language consistently moves within the realm of a frank realism, which, however, is tinged by the painter with a delicate impressionistic lyricism. Indeed, the subject is depicted with absolute sincerity, free from any form of idealization. The relationship with the viewer is direct, charged with strong expressive and physiognomic characterization. From a pictorial perspective, the application of color is extremely lively, dynamic, with impressionistic overtones. Thus, the depiction of the clown is charged with vibrations that are not only luminous but also existential. The subject, in its profound realism, is transfigured into a more poetic dimension determined by its very being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSergio Tassi was born in 1953 in Dicomano, Florence. His passion for drawing and painting manifested itself at an early age, and he developed it through courses such as the Scuola Libera del Nudo and the Decoratore Ceramista (Ceramic Decorator) program. He began exhibiting his work in solo and group shows in his early twenties, and today has had several dozen exhibitions under his belt. Thanks to this, his works are held in numerous Italian and international collections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S.C.G.
