Product description
Mixed media painting on paper depicting a female portrait, created by Giuseppe Viola in the 1970s, 30 cm x 43 cm. Giuseppe Viola was an important Italian artist, active primarily in the second half of the 20th century. Born in Milan in 1933 and passed away in the same city in 2010, Viola left an indelible mark on the Italian art scene. Viola is considered the founder of the artistic movement called "Imagism," which was inspired by the poetics of Ezra Pound. This movement sought to convey emotions and sensations through strong and evocative images. His works are characterized by a strong visual impact, with vibrant colors and decisive brushstrokes. The artist often expressed profound and intense emotions through his creations. Recurring themes in Viola's works include nature, the human figure, spirituality, and reflection on the existential condition. Viola utilized various painting techniques, from oil on canvas to tempera, also experimenting with sculpture and ceramics. He held over 160 solo exhibitions in Italy and abroad, achieving great public and critical success. His works are present in prestigious public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art of Vatican City and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki. Among his most important works are "L'Amore della Vita" (The Love of Life), donated to the Museum of Modern Art of Vatican City, and "I Miracoli di San Francesco da Paola" (The Miracles of Saint Francis of Paola) for the Cathedral of St. Anthony of Padua in Rimini.
