Guido Locca (1901–1969) - L’amante

Guido Locca
(1901–1969)

The Lover

Pencil on paper, signed by hand at the bottom right.

Elegant drawing depicting a nude female figure, captured in a reclining and sinuous pose, with the arm raised behind the head. The work fully fits within the Art Deco language, of which Guido Locca was one of the most refined interpreters in the Swiss context. The line is fluid and essential, built on the rhythm of the profile rather than on anatomical detail, with a formal synthesis that highlights grace, balance and modernity.

The face, barely hinted but intensely expressive, and the body rendered through a light and vibrant stroke testify to a careful exploration of movement and the purity of form, central characteristics of the artist's graphic production.

Shipping

The work will be prepared and packed with the utmost care. However, postal shipping, while an economical solution, is not the most suitable method for works on paper and frames and cannot guarantee the absence of potential damage, particularly to the frames.
On request it is possible to organize shipping via professional carriers specialized in the transport of artworks.
In-person pickup in Geneva remains the safest option. Even for shipments within Europe, longer times and formalities or customs duties may be expected.
