His language, in fact, is based on a simplification of images and a pursuit of essentiality, yet with marked ironic, illustrative, and, in short, popular overtones. Thus, and this is one of the key characteristics of Giuseppe Viviani's work, image and subject unite in a coherent poetics. From a strictly formal perspective, this is expressed in an exaltation of the drawing line and a search for ever-sinuous and dynamic rhythms. The simplification of subjects always proceeds with irony and fun, maintaining the authentic character of Viviani's engravings.\n\r \nGiuseppe Viviani was born in San Giuliano Terme in 1898 and passed away in Pisa in 1965. He particularly excelled in printmaking, earning a professorship in printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence at the age of fifty. It was then that Viviani achieved national fame. He received numerous awards from his youth until his old age: the prize at the Munich International Exhibition in 1929, the prize for drawing in Asti in 1949, and the prize for printmaking at the Venice Biennale in 1950. This was followed in 1951 by the first prize for printmaking at the São Paulo Biennale in Brazil; in 1952, first prize at the Black and White Exhibition in Lugano and the Rome Quadrennial. At the following Quadrennial in 1965, the year of his death, a commemorative retrospective was held in his honor.","brand":"Lang Federica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218208076162,"sku":"FLAN012","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Schermata-2022-06-13-alle-17.50.50.png?v=1768471892","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/viviani-fiori-occhi-cocomeraio","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
