{"product_id":"vasco-valacchi-senza-titolo-2-2","title":"Vasco Valacchi - Untitled","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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eVasco Valacchi's female faces, not only in their primordially matriarchal subjects but also and above all in the language he uses, seem to hark back to an archaic conception of art. Indeed, there is a clear reference to Symbolist art in the way the figures are depicted generically, stripped of their individual features, to take on an iconic character. The representation thus transcends the contingent to take on broader meanings. Formally, Valacchi favors a composition that enhances the plasticity of the subjects, who are immersed in a concrete, yet decontextualized, space. Despite the essentially ancient character of his female figures, Valacchi succeeds in recontextualizing his artistic language in a contemporary vein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Vasco Valacchi, Siena 1927-2003.
