AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important antique painting from early 20th-century Italy.
Franco Curatti (1928-2012)
Le Ballerine, the opera, published in newspapers and industry magazines, was exhibited at an international exhibition in Canada alongside other works by the master.
Oil on canvas from the 1960s/70s
Size: 50 x 40 cm
Author present at the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery Museum in Piacenza.
Franco Curatti (1928-2012) was one of the most active and important painters of his generation. He worked for nearly sixty years, producing a great deal, always in a highly personal style that was, in some aspects, countercurrent. His bouquets of flowers are very famous, with very current still lifes that — thanks to his sensitivity and enviable technique — seemed almost to come alive again. But he was also a painter of ballerinas and landscapes, of seascapes and — to emphasize his versatility — of 'dripping' (literally 'dripping,' a technique of U.S. origin, notably associated with Jackson Pollock). Considered one of the most important painters from Piacenza, his works are exhibited in museums and art galleries in Italy and Canada. He was a very refined artist, highly sought after by museums and private collectors.
