AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original work by Mimmo Rotella, undisputed master of décollage and a central figure in European art of the second half of the 20th century.
The works belong to the famous cycle devoted to cinema, in which Rotella reworks original film posters through the technique of tearing and reassembling, transforming the popular image into a powerful contemporary visual language. The torn, superimposed, and reassembled fragments generate a dynamic tension between image and memory, between cultural icon and artistic gesture.
The work depicts Gilda, the iconic character portrayed by Rita Hayworth, a recurring subject in the artist’s output. The layered and dynamic composition, achieved through the tearing effect, conveys all the visual and cinematic force typical of Rotella’s work.
The works are hand-signed and bear the dry stamp of the Fondazione Mimmo Rotella, an element that guarantees authenticity and reinforces their collectible value.
