Description from the seller
Acrylic on canvas.
Master Aldo Gentilini.
In good condition.
Signed on the front at the bottom, while on the back is the authentic piece made directly by the artist.
Canvas dimensions 50x40 cm.
Particular as with all of his works and unusual given its small size, this work by Master Aldo Gentilini is part of a private collection.
It is a very lively and satisfying piece, ideal for someone with a small space to furnish and enliven with taste, in an Abstract style. The piece is complete with its original frame, which is in good condition, but without the glass which could be re-glassed if desired.
The images provided are an integral part of the description.
It will be carefully packed and shipped by express courier with tracking.
Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911; from a young age he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed three years, pursuing philosophical studies, before dedicating himself as a self-taught artist to artistic research, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believes that only through art can one reach the divine. And this idea will underpin all his work:
"I try to create emptiness – Gentilini declared – This emptiness provokes in me a certain catharsis: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I re-evaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward the sign never thought."
He was an artist practicing asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
