{"product_id":"viviani-senza-titolo-3","title":"Giuseppe Viviani - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll of Giuseppe Viviani's etchings fall within the genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered equally important as historical or religious ones. Specifically, all of Giuseppe Viviani's work explored themes tied to a popular imagery, consisting of the simple life of the Pisan coast, including old seamen, hunting scenes and animals, and picturesque small villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Viviani pursues the concept of folk imagery not only in his choice of subjects, but also, and above all, in the definition of his engraving style. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiuseppe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pratelli Rodriguez Emmanuel Guillermo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217717309826,"sku":"EPRA006","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/VIVIANI-42X32-scaled.jpg?v=1768468161","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/viviani-senza-titolo-3","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
