{"product_id":"ugo-attardi-cristo-lavaggio-dei-piedi","title":"Ugo Attardi - Christ Washing the Feet","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn the history of art, a clear distinction can often be made between figurative and abstract stylistic movements. However, when an artist's goal is to represent an object that resonates with phenomenal reality but is also charged with hidden and symbolic meaning, this boundary can become blurred. Symbolism and Expressionism are emblematic stylistic movements in their conceptual interpretation of reality, with an iconic rendering of images and a symbolic interpretation in the use of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this work, Attardi provides an example of his interpretation of Expressionism, in which the entire process of synthesizing reality is conducted through color. It is through the application of color, rich in bright, anti-naturalistic hues and material textures, that the subjects take shape in a compressed, two-dimensional space. However, Attardi's forced expressionism never completely compromises the interpretation of reality, which remains intuitive even in a work like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Ugo Attardi, born in Sori in 1923 and died in Rome in 2006, was a painter and sculptor. After beginning his career as an abstract artist, joining the Forma 1 group, in the 1950s he turned to Expressionism, drawing inspiration from Bacon and Grosz. He participated in several editions of the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial and exhibited his work in numerous solo and group shows in Italy and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Angelis Antonella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211890602370,"sku":"ADEA001","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_4528.jpg?v=1768401950","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ugo-attardi-cristo-lavaggio-dei-piedi","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
