{"product_id":"tanzi-senza-titolo","title":"Gaetano Tanzi - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eSurrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, paradoxically accentuating the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal. The Surrealism developed by Gustavo Tanzi, however, seems to take a different direction. His works are based on automatic writing and the definition of worlds and figures from another dimension, but everything is rendered in a predominantly abstract geometric form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGaetano Tanzi's artistic production is coherent with a distinctive language that offers diverse insights. Tanzi's starting point is undoubtedly the Italian pictorial tradition, and therefore the rationality, geometry, and exaltation of plasticity typical of 14th- and 15th-century frescoes. Tanzi brings this geometricism, rooted in the past, into contact with the contemporary, with the deconstruction of the Cubists, the pure forms of the Abstractionists, and the playfulness of Paul Klee. And so, Gaetano Tanzi's world is born, magically suspended in a dimension between past and future. Typical of this artist is his penchant for a palette of decidedly warm colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGaetano Tanzi was born in Genoa in 1918 and passed away in 2017. In the late 1940s, Tanzi moved away from abstraction to develop his \"geometric synthesis.\" His predominant theme was horses, a love he had ever since he was a young officer in the mounted Carabinieri, wearing whose uniform he fought in the Second World War. For ten years, from 1966 onward, Tanzi illustrated the covers of the International Horse Shows in Piazza di Siena in Rome, under the title \"Horses and the World Around Them.\" Tanzi exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in the most important galleries in Italy's major cities, and was a guest, among others, at the IX Quadriennale d'arte in Rome (1965). He also held numerous exhibitions abroad, from Basel to Moscow, via Montreal, Mexico City, and New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ennio Borin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218048790914,"sku":"ebor003","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/tanzirosso.jpg?v=1768470565","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/tanzi-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
