AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ex Libris: Remo Palmirani, 2003, 10.9 x 13.6 cm, Rare!!
Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, recognized internationally in the field of graphics and engraving.
Valentini's geometric imaginary is influenced by the Russian avant-gardes of the twentieth century (Constructivism) and, marginally, by the architectures painted by de Chirico during the metaphysical period, but it is primarily based on the sense of harmony and proportion explored by Italian artists of the Quattrocento: De pictura, De re aedificatoria, De statua by Leon Battista Alberti, De prospectiva pingendi by Piero della Francesca, and De divina proportione by Luca Pacioli are treatises on perspective and the golden ratio that guide all of Valentini's research on space, forms, and their balance.
